What's up, everyone? This is Anthony Pompliano. Most of you know me as Pomp. You're listening to Off the Chain, simply the best podcasting crypto. Let's kick this thing off.

Matt Galligan is the founder and CEO of the Picks and Shovels company. In this conversation, we talk about crypto custody, crypto data, trading, and what needs to happen

for crypto to continue progressing. Matt also shares a company's secret, so you'll definitely

want to listen. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do as well.

Before we get started, I want to talk about one of our sponsors, BlockFi.

These guys are doing really interesting work in crypto lending.

What they allow you to do is keep your crypto, put it up as collateral, and receive a U.S. dollar loan funded directly to your bank account.

You should visit blockfi.com slash pomp.

Definitely do it.
