Welcome to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Crypto 101 podcast. And today is a very special episode. And it's

sponsored by Concordium. And we're super excited to chat with them and learn more about what they're doing.

And we had their CEO, Boris, aka Triple B on with us today. Boris, welcome. And it's good to have

you. Yeah, good to be here. thank you very much for having us um for having

me um even though you didn't pronounce my full name i'm maybe going to press you on this because it's

hilarious but triple b is fine you know it's it's fine we were joking back and forth before this

started and we were going through your full name and we came it's a nightmare came with this idea of

triple b and i was like man that actually sounds really, really cool. Let's run with that. But Boris, nonetheless, excited to have you here. You're doing a lot of great things. We love bringing in leaders like yourself to talk about the crypto space because that's why the listeners come on. They want to hear what the people that are actually building in the background, the people who are making the next generation of the crypto market. And they want to hear what they're doing and also just kind of get their expert insight as to what in the world is going on. Because this year, especially as we're doing this, we're wrapping up 2025. I mean, this has been a hurricane of a year with all sorts of

stuff going on. I mean, positive regulation, positive catalyst. We've had all these big

developments. And then you throw in a couple of black swan events to kind of stir up the pot

a little bit. And it's this, it's been this back and forth kind of side to side. But when you look at actual

progress, it's been a really, really good one. So there's going to be a lot to talk about. I mean,

again, Stoke to be able to talk and speak with you about it. But let's just, you know, get to know

you at a high level before we even get into Concordium because, I mean, you have nearly 20 years of experience when it

comes to not just digital assets, but like the finance and the infrastructure space as a whole.

With all of that, what kind of piqued your interest towards the crypto and the blockchain markets

in the first place?

Yeah.

Look, a lot to unpack here.

So it really started for me, like if you really want to boil it down, if we want to

keep it to digital assets.
