0:00.0	Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.
0:09.1	It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.
0:14.9	The breakdown is sponsored by nexo.io, near an FtX, and produced and distributed by CoinDesk.

0:29.7	Before we dive in, however, if you are enjoying the breakdown, please go subscribe to it,
