Hello and welcome to Episode 172 of The Official.

Established the Run.com podcast, my name is Adam Levittan, and today we have a genuinely

special guest making his second appearance on the show as a young man playing the actual

highest stakes in the world. Not the fake highest stakes like DFS or poker, the actual highest

market share of that five to ten billion. But that gives you some idea of what we're talking about.

I think you highly highly recommend it. Check out episode 69. Went through a little bit of Jason's

on here, I don't know, six, 78 months later was because I mean, my god, Jason, things have gotten

absolutely out of control on our beloved internet. The stock market is out of control.

crypto is out of control. The NFT space is out of control. DeFi is out of control. Everything is

out of control. I mean, if you just took some money out of your pocket around the last time we talk
