0:10.1	We got those rate cuts.
0:11.6	It's a good week.
0:12.8	It's also a green week, more importantly.
0:15.6	Maybe those two things I related, actually.
0:17.3	I want to discuss with you if this is bullish for crypto.
0:19.9	Also, I got a bigger picture take coming from Arthur Hayes talking about the third mandate of the Fed. You know how the Fed has a dual mandate?
