| 0:00.0 | BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink is hitting the mainstream media circuit and he's pumping Bitcoin. |
| 0:07.9 | Bankless Nation happy first Friday of July. It is time for the bankless weekly roll-up. |
| 0:14.5 | This is a first of its kind. David is out this week. He is going climbing up mountains. I think he's |
| 0:20.4 | got three mountains over the next 10 to 15 days. He's going to climb. So I am here with Anthony |
| 0:25.6 | Susano and we are taking the roll-up to you this week. Anthony, this is the first time you and I |
| 0:30.8 | have done this. So I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm pretty excited. |
| 0:35.9 | Yeah. Me too. Me too. Thanks for having me on again. But yeah, I've only ever done these with |
| 0:40.0 | David. So definitely excited to do one of these with you finally. So last week was of course |
| 0:45.6 | the 4th of July in the US. So a lot of people had off took a holiday. Is there like an |
| 0:51.3 | equivalency in Australia? Is there like an independent state equivalency or how did this work |
| 0:57.2 | out in Australia? You didn't have to rebel against the bridge, did you? No, no. I mean, technically, |
| 1:03.3 | we still have colony, which is funny. We tried to become Republic ages ago, but it didn't happen. |
| 1:08.8 | So we have royal assent and things still like that. It's kind of weird, but we have Australia day, |
| 1:14.9 | which is like in January and like January, but I don't think it's on the actual day like that we |
| 1:19.5 | got our independence. And as I said, technically, we're not actually like fully independent. |
| 1:24.3 | But but yeah, we know it's like people do barbecues because it's summer in January here and |
| 1:29.2 | things like that. It's definitely something that people celebrate, but it's not to the extent |
| 1:32.5 | that Americans do it. You guys are crazy around July 4th. Yeah, America goes crazy. I grew up in |
| 1:37.2 | Canada actually. And so there's some there's a Canada day on the 1st of July. And it's much more |
| 1:42.8 | muted than when you come to you guys. I didn't even hear about it on Twitter or anything. So yeah, |
| 1:48.0 | I know. There you go. It's more muted. Anyway, we got some hot topics of the week. A lot of |
