| 0:00.0 | All right, thank you for the station. It is the first week of March. This is Friday morning. |
| 0:18.6 | I hope you're enjoying the special edition of the Roll-Ups first edition of March with |
| 0:24.1 | your Friday morning copy. David, what are we doing today? We're rolling it up. We're rolling |
| 0:29.5 | up the first week of March. As we all know, the cryptocurrency industry moves so incredibly |
| 0:33.6 | fast. And so we try and distill a full week of crypto news into one single episode. It's an |
| 0:39.5 | ambitious endeavor. We try and condense as much information and as short a time as possible. |
| 0:44.5 | Sometimes we go a little bit long, but we're going to try and condense things a little bit |
| 0:47.9 | better this week. So, Ryan, shall we get into it? We should, David, but before we get into it, |
| 0:53.6 | we should mention that consensus tickets are on sale. So, this is a virtual conference. You |
| 0:59.2 | can attend. I'll be there. David is speaking there, Ray Dalio is speaking there. So, he's in |
| 1:03.5 | good company. The thing I wanted to mention is that you can get $20 off when you use the |

| 1:20.1 | with the code bankless will include a note in the show notes. David, you ready? Let's start with |
| 1:25.1 | markets, my friend. You ready to start with markets? Let's do it. What are the markets saying? |
| 1:30.1 | Well, tell us Bitcoin. What is the price of Bitcoin right now? Where have we been? And where are we |
| 1:35.3 | going? Yeah, at the time of recording, Bitcoin is at $47,500. Ryan's got Missouri on up. It's got |
| 1:43.0 | $48,000. You know, different depending on where you look. But we touched over, got back over |
| 1:48.4 | $50,000 this week. But maintaining strength, I think, has been a little bit of a struggle for |
| 1:54.4 | the main monies, the Bitcoin and Ether. We are falling down a little bit today. But, you know, |
| 2:00.9 | on the Ether price action, we both touched $1,600 and the $1,400 in the same day. So things |
| 2:08.2 | are volatile. We're definitely planting a floor, I would say, but we are struggling to get much |
