Uh, in bad news, though, Operation Chokepoint promises to take crypto bankless, but in the bearish way, perhaps crypto's biggest regulatory threat ever.

0:12.4

Bankless Nation, it is the second Friday of February. David, what time is it?

0:16.4

Ryan, it's the Friday, bankless weekly roll-up where we cover the entire weekly news in crypto, which is always an ambitious endeavor, especially this week.

0:24.4

An insane amount of shipping, some extra large fud, and we're going to cover it all on this roll-up here.

0:30.5

And now, with, of course, coffee. Coffee, as always, in my Ember mug, too. So it's a nice and piping hot.

0:36.9

Yeah. David, you are back, and your voice still hasn't fully recovered, although it's better than it was yesterday.

0:41.8

So, like, how many days of recovery, and what happened to you?

0:45.1

Yeah, my voice is slowly coming back after going to the Starquare sessions in Tel Aviv, Israel, and doing nine interviews,

0:52.2

which the Bankless Nation will notice that the first four of is on their podcast feed.

0:56.4

So you can go ahead and listen to those. If you just can't make it out to conferences, don't worry, because Bankless has your back.

1:04.0

I bring out an entire podcast studio with me, including three microphones.

1:08.3

And I interview everyone who's founder, builder, developer of that particular ecosystem.

1:13.4

This conference and choice was the Starknet world. And sometimes I put my voice on the line, too, to get that done.

1:20.0

And that's why you're going to be hearing a little bit raspy of a voice on this weekly rollup this week.

1:24.5

Big sacrifices to make this happen. Many Gotham's died for this information, a little Star Wars reference for you.

1:31.3

David, I always thought you're just going to the conferences for me, man, but I guess it is about the listeners, too.

1:36.1

Seriously, I appreciate that. That's one of the great things about people don't know.

1:40.0

The partnership between David and myself, it's just like a Yang Yang type thing, where he does all sorts of stuff that I'm like,

1:47.0

I don't want to go to a conference. David's like, I absolutely want to go to all the conferences.

1:51.7

And so it's a really good fit. And David's like, I don't want to do accounting and bookkeeping and that sort of thing.

1:56.4

And I'm like, oh, that's fine for me. I enjoy it in a weird way.

2:00.4

Oh, weird.
