| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bankless Nation. It is the fourth week of August. David, what time is it? |
| 0:18.1 | It is roll up time, time to roll up the entire week of news in crypto, which is always |
| 0:23.3 | an ambitious endeavor. And it's always, for me, the most fun piece of content that we |
| 0:27.7 | produce here out of the bankless world. So Ryan, let's go ahead and get right into it. |
| 0:32.0 | Yeah, you know what? I feel like we're not just rolling up the week here. It almost feels |
| 0:36.2 | like we're rolling up the summer a little bit, David. You know, kids are going back to school, |
| 0:39.7 | the sort of thing. We're creeping into September. And it feels like we have a lot to roll up, |
| 0:44.3 | maybe create some themes out of the summer because it didn't turn out how I thought it would. |
| 0:49.0 | A little bit different. Wasn't necessarily DeFi summer. Layer two is kind of coming, |
| 0:53.2 | but it's not entirely here. But oh, my God, NFTs. I think that's going to be a major theme |
| 0:58.0 | as we discuss it today. Yeah, unlike the weather, when you try and predict the future of the summer |
| 1:03.5 | in the crypto industry, it just changes right around you. And so what we thought was going to be |
| 1:08.5 | DeFi summer, which you know, still still kind of was like there's a lot of stuff going on on layer |
| 1:12.7 | two summer. But no, it was definitely like JPEG season for sure. JPEG summer. That's what we got. |
| 1:19.4 | Speaking of seasons, guys, we think a next season, a future season, don't know when it's going |
| 1:23.5 | to become. It's going to be Dow season. And so it makes sense to start getting involved in all the |
| 1:29.0 | Dow's you can, as many as are interestingly exciting, one of which are friends at Tracer Dow. They |
| 1:34.4 | are launching a new perpetuals product, which is super cool. It's going to be a new |
| 1:38.8 | thing. They go primitive. They're deploying that on layer two, as well as layer one, I believe. |
| 1:44.2 | And they're looking for contributors. They're looking for governors. They're looking for Dow |
| 1:48.0 | members. If you think you can fill that role, if you want to experiment in a Dow, try your |
| 1:52.4 | first style, maybe you're a Dow master, and you want to join another, then go ahead and do that. |
