All right, everybody, we have another great show for you today.

0:03.4

The crypto roundtable has been redubbed the AI and crypto roundtable.

0:09.2

Why? Because 25% of people working in crypto have shifted their energy to AI.

0:15.5

We're going to talk about why that is.

0:17.6

And we're going to talk about how generative AI has had the fastest development cycle
