| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Layer 0. |
| 0:08.0 | Layer 0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that make up the Ethereum community. |
| 0:13.0 | Crypto is built by code, this composed by people, and each individual member of the crypto community has their own story to tell. |
| 0:20.0 | The CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, |
| 0:23.0 | and Layer 0 focuses on the people behind the code because Ethereum is people all the way down, and always has been. |
| 0:29.0 | Today, on Layer 0, we're talking to Fiskantes, or Fiskie, who is an Anon crypto twitter participant, but also part of the prime capital. |
| 0:38.0 | Fiskie has been known for just very good and sensible and strong takes in the crypto twitter sphere, as well as being somebody who is just a well seasoned investor in the crypto space. |
| 0:49.0 | And we talk about the frontier versus the center of crypto, and how the frontier always expands, and it attracts the individuals, the explorers, and as the individuals of the crypto frontier who are playing the frontier meta game, |
| 1:02.0 | find something new, something cool. Like NFTs, we found NFTs, and all of a sudden it changed the over-tune window of the meta of crypto. |
| 1:10.0 | But then it became a little bit more institutionalized, it came a little bit more expertise, and so the frontier shifts. |
| 1:16.0 | And so, as Bitcoin has been completely subsumed by people that also trade stocks, the institutions of the world, it has become institutionalized, and the frontier has been expanding beyond Bitcoin ever since. |
| 1:30.0 | And so it got to Ethereum, but then Ethereum became institutionalized, it got to D5, but then it D5 is becoming institutionalized, and the frontier is always where the individuals lie, because that's where the professionals aren't, that's where the institutions aren't. |
| 1:43.0 | And so this is the way the crypto industry explores, and Fiskie talks about why he enjoys being on the frontier so much. |
| 1:51.0 | We start with his background with poker, and connect that to many other themes throughout the podcast, so I'm sure you're going to love this thought provoking episode with Fiskantes on Layer Zero, right after we get to some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible. |
