0:00.0	Bankless Nation, I'm joined by Martin Copleman from Nosis. Martin, welcome back to Bankless.
0:09.3	Thanks for having me.
0:10.4	And we are also joined, first time on the podcast, long time coming, Frederike Erst.
0:15.0	Frederike, welcome to Bankless.

1:20.3	years now. Like, we tried it. We made a little bit of progress. We tried some things, but ultimately,
1:25.2	it seems to have stalled out.
