| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Crypto 101 podcast presented by Gemini, your bridge to the future of money. |
| 0:10.2 | All right, everyone, welcome back to the Crypto 101 podcast. |
| 0:20.2 | Hope everyone's having a good day. |
| 0:22.2 | Hope you're all having a good week or a month. |
| 0:24.6 | You know, even if you're listening in here at a future point in time, and this is one of those past episodes where you're like, man, I just needed to listen to this. |
| 0:32.1 | Because today, we're going to be talking all about Ethereum and gas fees and how the ecosystem has changed and scaled over the years. |
| 0:39.9 | So we wanted to bring in Kevin Lepsoe. |
| 0:42.0 | He's the founder of ETH Gas. |
| 0:44.1 | Kevin, welcome and it's good to have you. |
| 0:47.0 | Thanks for having me, Brendan. |
| 0:48.0 | Really excited to go through this. |

| 1:24.8 | price actions, lots of ups and downs and a little bit of negative price action. But the fundamentals continue to move onwards and really to the upside, I would say, for the better. |
| 1:36.5 | You know, one of the big things that we want to talk about here today is just everything that has happened to Ethereum and what you all have been working on at ETH gas. |
| 1:44.7 | And I think it's the perfect time to do it because there are some big headlines that came out in regards to ETH and its scalability and what's happening. |
