| 0:00.0 | Hey, Bankless Nation. Happy state of the nation. This is an episode where David do a deep dive |
| 0:11.6 | on the topic that's been making headlines recently. David, I feel like we are on a redemption |
| 0:17.4 | arc today because we are notoriously not into sports. At least we haven't provided good |
| 0:24.2 | sports coverage on Bankless in the past. But today we are talking all about sports and the |
| 0:31.7 | blockchain sports and crypto. I can get behind it. So at least I can get behind 50% of this. |
| 0:37.0 | But we know there are a ton of sports fans in the Bankless community. How do we know because |
| 0:41.4 | you've pointed out our mistakes? And you've told us this is an episode on the future of on-chain |
| 0:47.0 | sports with I think an organization and a project that is doing more in crypto sports than anyone |
| 0:53.6 | else. These are the folks behind sports. They started with football in the EU and there'd be |
| 1:01.5 | soccer for us Americans and have since expanded. This is recent news to the NBA. This is a recent |

| 1:28.6 | communities that are like outside of crypto Twitter, outside of just like these deep NFT D gen communities |
| 1:34.6 | and are more mainstream, right? Sports are mainstream. And so where unquestionably has discovered product |
| 1:41.4 | market fit at the intersection of sports and crypto, which seems like a cursory glance, a weird |
| 1:48.6 | intersection, right? Sports crypto. What does this have to do with each other? And so we're going to |
| 1:52.3 | answer this question as to why so rare has found product market fit here in the intersection of |
| 1:57.8 | the nerds and the jocks, if you will. And like what really takes? What's the secret sauce behind |
| 2:03.0 | these things? And what lessons can we pull away from the product market fit that so rare has seen? |
| 2:07.9 | We usually do disclosures at this point in the episode disclosure. There are no disclosures. |
