| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Layer 0. |
| 0:08.5 | Layer 0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that make up your theory in |
| 0:12.2 | beauty. |
| 0:13.2 | Crypto is built by code but is composed by people, and each individual member of the crypto |
| 0:16.8 | community has their own story to tell. |
| 0:19.5 | Cyberpunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, and Layer |
| 0:22.5 | 0 focuses on the people behind the code, because Ethereum is people all the way down, and |
| 0:26.6 | it always has been. |

| 0:32.5 | redoing that intro, but that's a conversation for a later time. |

| 1:02.3 | The decentralization of our food production is something that we must do in order to live |
| 1:07.1 | on this planet for more than the next like 50 or 100 years or so. |
| 1:11.0 | This is a code red, this is a fire alarm, and Anthony helps me tell the story as to what |
