Welcome to Layers0. Layers0 is a podcast of uninscripted conversations with the people that make up the Ethereum community.

Crypto is built by code but is composed by people and each individual member of the crypto community has their own story to tell.

CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it and Layers0 focuses on the people behind the code because Ethereum is people all the way down and it always has been.

Today on Layers0 is going to be something a little different. I'm speaking to Marin Altman and she is the person that pays attention to astrology to predict the crypto markets.

And so this is definitely off the beaten path for typical bankless content and so listeners might need to put on their skeptics hat but either way I think there are interesting things to pull out of this episode regardless of whether you believe in the relationship between the positions of the planets and the relationship of how our earth progresses.

Marin is a background in philosophy but also in order to do what she does has to be extremely multidisciplinary so it's not just astrology it's relating astrology to many many things.

And I'm always a huge fan in the way that crypto is so multidisciplinary in order to understand crypto you need to understand biology you need to understand psychology computer science history economics human anthropology is super relevant but I've never really thought to include astrology.

And I don't think most people do and I think most people definitely discount astrology almost completely but if you want some entertainment and just to open your mind and explore new subjects Marin has produced a huge brand around herself for being the person that can somehow make really good calls from really far away.

Whether you think that is just luck at the draw and just sheer happenstance or whether you think that this is actually something real is an entertaining show either way.

And so I hope you guys enjoy this fantastic conversation with Marin Altman right after we get to some of these fantastic sponsors that make the show possible.
