| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, and welcome to the shopping block. Every couple weeks, the four of us |
| 0:06.1 | get together and give industry insiders perspective on the crypto topics of the day. |
| 0:10.5 | So very quick intros. First, we got Tom, the DeFi Maven and Master of Memes. Next up, |
| 0:15.6 | there's Robert, the crypto connoisseur, and captain of compound. Next, we have Taroon, |
| 0:19.6 | Gigabrain, and Grand Puba at Gauntlet. And myself, Haseeb, I'm the chief hype man at Dragonfly. |
| 0:24.5 | And today, we have joining us, a special guest, the Baron of the Bahamas, Sam Beggburn |
| 0:28.7 | Freed, otherwise known as SPF. So the, I usually say the four of us, but the original |

| 1:12.6 | are true. Yeah. We'll see. We'll tell me again, but any, any lessons learned from last |
| 1:18.2 | go around that you were testifying? Yeah. I mean, I think to some extent, the lesson was |
| 1:24.6 | it was sort of what it seemed like. I don't know. I think that the biggest surprising thing |
| 1:30.1 | honestly was how constructive it was. I was honestly expecting a bit of a shitho. |
| 1:35.5 | I was expecting a lot of partisan bickering. And there just wasn't. It was almost everyone |
| 1:43.0 | had a constructive attitude across both aisles. That was legitimately surprising. |
| 1:49.2 | And then beyond that, I think everyone has their own questions that they're most interested in |
