0:00.0	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.
0:13.1	Philippe Bakazi is the CEO of XBTO Group. In this conversation, we discussed the Yellow Vest protest in Paris, his days working at
0:23.1	SAC Capital, how the global financial crisis impacted many people in crypto today, why the
0:29.9	interest in crypto is like a wave, and the importance of tether, stablecoins, and derivatives
0:36.1	in cryptocurrency.
0:39.5	I really enjoyed this conversation,
0:44.7	and I hope you do as well. As many of you know, crypto investors store their digital assets on exchanges or in cold storage for long-term safekeeping. However, this strategy doesn't help them

1:50.8	You're born in Paris, right?
1:52.3	Or lived in Paris.
