0:00.0	Hey Freaks. This is Matt here. We just recorded RHR. This episode is brought to you by Unchained Capital.
0:08.3	Our good friends at Unchained Capital help you have a multi-sig vault where they control a single key in the quorum and you control two keys.
0:16.6	So you never lose control of your Bitcoin, but they will help you use financial services with your Bitcoin.
0:24.6	Marty, do you want to continue on this threat?
0:28.1	Yeah, so on top of that, if you have your Bitcoin in a vault, you're also going to get access to their Bitcoin lending services.
0:34.5	You don't need to be in a vault to get these services.
0:36.0	But if you are in a vault, you're going to get them as well.
0:39.0	And if you're not, you can get them anyway.
0:43.8	All right, their vault services can help you with multi-sig, and then their lending service is going to help you not sell your Bitcoin. Friends don't let their friends sell Bitcoin.

1:15.3	On top of that, they've got gradually, then suddenly, which is an incredible blog series from our good friend Parker Lewis,
1:21.1	who's just basically red-pilling everybody, excuse me, orange-pilling everybody, one blog post at a time.
1:26.5	Bullish as fuck.
1:27.3	They've got Slip 39, Hermit as well.
1:29.7	They're really giving back to the community as they're building out these Bitcoin,
1:33.6	excuse me, financial services for Bitcoiners.
1:35.9	All right, go to www.unchained dash capital.com.
