0:00.0	Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.
0:09.3	It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.
0:18.2	What's going on, guys? It is Monday, January 27th, and today we are diving deep on what the
0:23.3	crypto executive order actually said. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying the
0:27.9	breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive
0:31.5	deeper into the conversation, come join us on the breakers discord. You can find a link in the show
0:35.5	notes or go to bit.ly slash breakdown pod.
0:38.4	All right, friends. Well, it had to happen. After just a nonstop insane oh week last week,
0:44.6	things have finally calmed down a little bit. In fact, as you'll see, a lot of today's episode is

1:21.4	launch a meme coin, which, like it or hate it, signaled a big shift in what would be allowed
1:25.5	within the industry. And capping it all off was
1:27.8	the White House signaling a new direction and policy with the signing of the crypto executive order.
1:32.3	Now, on the Friday 5 with Scott Melker, we talked a lot about the EO, but we didn't get so much into the
1:36.8	details. Instead, we mostly talked about the impact and the community's reaction to it.
1:40.6	So today, we're going to circle back, take a closer look at those details, understanding that the
1:44.4	order is going to shape, at least in some way, how the next year plays out, so it's worth being
