| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bankless Nation. It is the first week of October. It's Friday morning. Do you know |
| 0:11.7 | what that means, David? I do. It is the Friday morning. |
| 0:15.0 | Bankless, weekly roll up, recapping the whole week of crypto inside of hopefully an hour |
| 0:20.4 | and a half. Maybe we can get it down to an hour and 15 minutes. Ryan just signed up because |
| 0:24.1 | he knows we can't. But we'll do our best by faith in us. There's so much to talk about |
| 0:28.5 | this week, though, David. We're going to talk about some of the main events of the week. |
| 0:31.4 | But firstly, man, how are you doing? You know, okay? I'm pretty good. I'm like that. |
| 0:34.8 | I'm like that crypto punk in your background. First, you know, it's like pretty big. And |
| 0:38.6 | I'm like, do I stare at David's face? Or do I stare at the crypto punk? And I've gotten |
| 0:42.1 | the same focus. You being there. It's the same. It's the same person, really, right? |

| 0:54.2 | When Zoom can get the filters and then we can just upload our own faces. Then yeah, |
| 0:58.9 | they'll talk to the crypto punk. That's perfect. So waiting for you to get your turtle back on |
| 1:03.4 | your wall. But for some reason, you haven't done that yet. I really should. I just haven't had time. |
| 1:07.4 | But, you know, turtles are slow. That's what they do. Let's say that. Okay. No, |
| 1:12.8 | sheller. All right. All right. I'll stop with the insults. Let's go. |
| 1:17.8 | Main event of the week, guys. TikTok is coming to Ethereum by way of NFTs. That's huge. |
| 1:23.3 | Also, banks are coming to DeFi now. There's a post from society, |
| 1:27.1 | general on the maker, Dow governance forms. They want to inject 20 million |
| 1:30.8 | collateral into maker. Facebook was down this week as well. But not Web 3. Web 3 cannot go down. |
| 1:37.0 | David, we've got two other things. What else is hot this week? |
