Speaker 1: Special announcement before we get into today's episode. UM at
Speaker 1: afro Tech Executive is past week in Miami, bag shouse
Speaker 1: out to everybody who pulled up. We had a remarkable
Speaker 1: time talking about n f T S, DOWS, blockchain and
Speaker 1: more with some of the most right, the brightest minds
Speaker 1: in the game. UM, and they just happened to be black.
Speaker 1: So we had a great time in Miami. But in
Speaker 1: Miami we announced that we are back I R. We
Speaker 1: are back in real life this year. Come Hell of
Speaker 1: high Water for the Official afro Tech Conference in November. UM.
Speaker 1: We're taking the show in the road too. So if
Speaker 1: you remember, afro Tech started years ago in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: then we after a couple of years moved over to Oakland.
Speaker 1: We're moving again this year. You can meet us afro
Speaker 1: Tech Conference in Austin, Texas. We are coming to the
Speaker 1: lone star state, Austin and you're getting to find amazing food,
Speaker 1: great life, music and come this November twenty thousand, Black
Speaker 1: tech Y's will converge on the city for the first
Speaker 1: in person official afro Tech conference in two years. We
Speaker 1: have missed y'all and we are long overdue for this
Speaker 1: party and learning experience from my group of people out there.
Speaker 1: As the early bird tickets are live now, don't delay
Speaker 1: in getting yours today. Get um yours at experience dot
Speaker 1: afro tech dot com and also, guess what we are
Speaker 1: also pulling up this month March in Brooklyn for the
Speaker 1: second afro Tech Executive of afro Tech Executive Brooklyn will
Speaker 1: be there and talking about women in tech and women
Speaker 1: in leadership is going to be a vibe. Tickets to
Speaker 1: a t Exact Brooklyn are also available now at afro Tech.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Experience dot afro tech dot How so what
Speaker 1: is a crypto wallet? Um? You've likely you likely have
Speaker 1: a wallet, you know, sitting nearby you somewhere, probably in
Speaker 1: your pocket, maybe it's in your backpack or in your
Speaker 1: tell far back. Maybe you know the concept, but your
Speaker 1: wallet is likely where you store your physical credit cards,
Speaker 1: your I D. Maybe you even have a little cash
Speaker 1: in your wallet. The point is we're all familiar with
Speaker 1: this concept. You have a physical storage container, usually like
Speaker 1: leather or fold leather, where you store things that you
Speaker 1: need access to, but you want to keep them secure
Speaker 1: and somewhat organized. Uh. Typically these things have to do
Speaker 1: with storing currency. These wallets do paying for things or
Speaker 1: validating who you are, like in the case of having
Speaker 1: your idea in it. A crypto wallet UM is effectively
Speaker 1: the same thing, but it's specifically designed to store crypt
Speaker 1: though in like passwords. There are hardware wallets, cold wallets,
Speaker 1: UM and hot wallets, and we'll let's not get ahead
Speaker 1: of ourselves, all right, So let's let's just walk this out,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to jump too far ahead, because
Speaker 1: it's very tempting to right now. But hardware wallets we
Speaker 1: call them cold wallets, or you have like online wallets
Speaker 1: that are called hot wallets. But first let's talk about
Speaker 1: the purpose of a crypto wallet in any case. All right, So,
Speaker 1: if you've been listening to this show for any length
Speaker 1: of time, specifically like in the last well since two, specifically,
Speaker 1: we've been talking a lot about crypto n f T s,
Speaker 1: things like that, and hopefully by now I've built up
Speaker 1: some kind of appetite in you to invest in yourself
Speaker 1: in web three, whether it be buying in n f T,
Speaker 1: exchanging your US dollars or rubles for ethereum or a
Speaker 1: sheep of coin um. But just like we describe what
Speaker 1: we're all pretty used to the wallet. In the crypto wallet,
Speaker 1: these things store things that you might need access to,
Speaker 1: like your currency cryptocurrency. It allows you to pay for
Speaker 1: things in Web three, and it allows you to validate
Speaker 1: who you are your crypto wallet. It does and among
Speaker 1: the most important things of crypto wallet it does. And
Speaker 1: I just alluded to this is regarding the storage of
Speaker 1: things you may need access to. Now I set this
Speaker 1: up in the form of storing crypto, but there's a
Speaker 1: level deeper that are wallet stores and that and that's
Speaker 1: what we call keys. So not like physical keys today
Speaker 1: that you know may turn on your vehicle or let
Speaker 1: you in your house, and one day I'm sure we'll
Speaker 1: get there, but I'm talking about your public and private keys,
Speaker 1: the passwords that give you access to your cryptocurrencies. Um
Speaker 1: now you might be asking, you know, I thought my
Speaker 1: crypto was stored on or in the wallet, and well,
Speaker 1: you may have crypto, but it's not like physically in
Speaker 1: your crypto wallet, like your U S dollars might be
Speaker 1: in your Louisatime wallet. In Web three, your currency is
Speaker 1: basically just a recording on a ledger. There's no physical
Speaker 1: coin or token you can see. It's a record. It's
Speaker 1: a line of code. It's an instance that is secured
Speaker 1: by the blockchain. It can be altered or forged. It
Speaker 1: can it can be stolen. But again let's not get
Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. We're gonna talk about that. But the
Speaker 1: record does last forever um that it was in your
Speaker 1: proverbial hands. I want to give again a quick primer
Speaker 1: on how the blockchain works because it's important for this conversation.
Speaker 1: The blockchain is a distributed database. Think of it like
Speaker 1: a hard drive or a computer that is replicated in
Speaker 1: A gang of people all over the world have the
Speaker 1: same copy, the same version of this hard drive or
Speaker 1: computer with the storage devising it, and they're constantly validating
Speaker 1: the files on each other. So the computer, the the
Speaker 1: hard drive that's in you know, Mississippi, is validating the
Speaker 1: same storage and records of the computer that I may
Speaker 1: have in Las Vegas, or in Atlanta or in New York.
Speaker 1: So they're all like you know, validating each other to
Speaker 1: make sure they're correct and to verify transactions that happen
Speaker 1: on the blockchain. So you can't say, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I have a valid copy of Donda two on my
Speaker 1: node with your computers like your node, that node on
Speaker 1: the blockchain network, because all the other nodes, all the
Speaker 1: other computers out there are going to check the record
Speaker 1: and say no, no, no, no, no, it's not valid.
Speaker 1: And then when they verify that your node has you know,
Speaker 1: malicious file on it or you know invalid filem it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily be malicious, but it's invalid. Your no, then
Speaker 1: your computer, your hard eye that's trying to insert that file,
Speaker 1: that invalid or malicious file is gonna get banned from
Speaker 1: the blockchain network because they try to insert an invalid transaction.
Speaker 1: So anyway, the blockchain is a database that stores information electronic, electronically,
Speaker 1: uh digitally, and it's redundant, so it's there's same copies
Speaker 1: all around the world. Then they're being stored by miners,
Speaker 1: which we don't have to get into that today. But
Speaker 1: what's so cool about the blockchain is that it's NonStop
Speaker 1: guaranteeing the purity, fidelity, or you know the cleanliness of
Speaker 1: the data that's being generated, and you don't have to
Speaker 1: rely on like a government or any institution um to
Speaker 1: protect that data. It's you know, it's a democratized authority.
Speaker 1: So it's probably by as far as I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with explaining what the blockchain is in this episode, because
Speaker 1: I really only referenced that to help us understand cryptocurrency
Speaker 1: not being in our wallets physically up the record of
Speaker 1: how much ethereum or light coin or sheba I have
Speaker 1: um is stored in this distributed decentralized ledger miles long spreadsheet,
Speaker 1: if you will. So. Your wallet then stores the keys
Speaker 1: that unlock your crypto. Your wallet opens the door for
Speaker 1: your crypto to be used in the transaction, So like
Speaker 1: you're buying in f T or a cup of coffee
Speaker 1: in some innovative, forward thinking coffee house, your wallet allows
Speaker 1: others to send you crypto, as your wallet has an
Speaker 1: address that anyone can see. Again, we'll get into that
Speaker 1: private first public concept shortly, and it can serve as
Speaker 1: an actual key, like instead of using an email address
Speaker 1: and password like you might sign into like you might
Speaker 1: use to sign them too, like Instagram. You could use
Speaker 1: your crypto wallet to sign into an online service, for instance,
Speaker 1: open Sea, which we've talked a lot about on our
Speaker 1: episodes about n f t S open seas in exchange,
Speaker 1: like the Amazon of n f t S, you can
Speaker 1: use your wallet to sign in to open Sea without
Speaker 1: using like an email address and password, passwords and email
Speaker 1: justice to log in our so web two all right,
Speaker 1: And so the wallet could also store your dial token,
Speaker 1: your distribute, your decentralized autonomous organization token, the things you
Speaker 1: use to give you access to a party at the
Speaker 1: upcoming afro Tech conference in Austin. You know that could
Speaker 1: be stored in your crypto wallet. The token that you
Speaker 1: used to get into the dial like Friends with Benefits
Speaker 1: is a dial um for you by a black man
Speaker 1: um to get into that party, you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to bring your crypto wallet to get access because
Speaker 1: your wallet is storing the token that that validates that
Speaker 1: you have access to said party. Your wallet, so as
Speaker 1: you can tell, your wallet has a variety of functions,
Speaker 1: and we just talked about some of the most criticals.
Speaker 1: So what else should we know about a crypto wallet? Then, well,
Speaker 1: how do you get one? UM? I'm gonna say that
Speaker 1: conversation for a little later because there's a bit more
Speaker 1: foundation I want to lay so you really get a
Speaker 1: handle on what it is the wallet is and what
Speaker 1: it does and the implications of having one UM. I've
Speaker 1: said this a few times use these terms, these phrases.
Speaker 1: A few times I mentioned keys, private keys, and public keys,
Speaker 1: So this is a few times already, and I want
Speaker 1: to dig in right now. UM what um what they are?
Speaker 1: Because when I say things like a public key that
Speaker 1: allows any one to see you on the blockchain and
Speaker 1: your activity on the block chain, that might scare you, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, why why does everybody get to see that
Speaker 1: I bought said n f T. Why does everybody get
Speaker 1: to see that I sent John? You know one? Eight?
Speaker 1: Like why is that public knowledge? Well, you know number one, Like,
Speaker 1: there's no more privacy that that concept of privacy is
Speaker 1: you know a web two thing. Again, the world is changing.
Speaker 1: So that's a different conversation for a different day. But
Speaker 1: the the public key is something that anybody can see
Speaker 1: and you're not at risk of being hacked or someone
Speaker 1: still in your crypto because they have access to your
Speaker 1: public key. Your public key is supposed to be used.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be um seeable because that's how you
Speaker 1: can make transactions. Your public key is it's a cryptographic code.
Speaker 1: It's a set of numbers and letters that allows you
Speaker 1: to receive crypto or better, it allows the record of
Speaker 1: an amount of crypto to move from my you know
Speaker 1: point on the ledger the global ledger to your name
Speaker 1: on the global ledger. So m walk with me for
Speaker 1: a minute, because I don't want you to get confused
Speaker 1: about this concept, and if it does, just hit rewind
Speaker 1: and listen again. The public key that you have if
Speaker 1: you have a wallet. Everybody has one. If you have
Speaker 1: a wallet, it's it's like a two hundred fifty six
Speaker 1: bit number, so but you will likely see more often
Speaker 1: is the wallet address, which is a scrambled version of
Speaker 1: that number. The address is a set of random characters,
Speaker 1: and not Russian say random, but there are a set
Speaker 1: of characters that have both letters and numbers in it,
Speaker 1: and the address will always begin with A one, A three,
Speaker 1: or a B C one. Digging deeper into that is
Speaker 1: outside of the scope of this episode, but it's good
Speaker 1: to know that. So let's say you want to send
Speaker 1: me your address to send you an eat a single
Speaker 1: ethereum coin. What you could do is on almost every wallet,
Speaker 1: cold wallet or hot wallet software or hardware, there is
Speaker 1: a copy paste feature that allows you to copy the
Speaker 1: set of characters like a forty two you know character
Speaker 1: um address, which is the public address of your wallet
Speaker 1: um or, and most wallets give you this feature. You
Speaker 1: can just pull up the QR code that I can
Speaker 1: read with my smart device, my you know, iPhone or whatever,
Speaker 1: and the QR code references your address that forty two
Speaker 1: character A code. Um So, then just by doing that,
Speaker 1: I can send you THEA that I owe you. The
Speaker 1: private key, however, is what allows anyone to put their
Speaker 1: hands in your cookie jar. So stick the nubs into
Speaker 1: your wallet and snatch your cryptough you don't want that.
Speaker 1: Your private key is something you should never share. There's
Speaker 1: no reason any reputable transaction on the blockchain requires you
Speaker 1: to share your private key. Any transaction you may engage
Speaker 1: and should only require your public key. Think of it
Speaker 1: as your token or ticket into the door or one
Speaker 1: the one way door that allows money to you put
Speaker 1: into your wallet. But by providing your private key to others,
Speaker 1: you allow their unfettered access into your chips. You don't
Speaker 1: want that. Typically, the private key is another set of
Speaker 1: alpha numeric characters, and you unlock access to those characters,
Speaker 1: which really don't do often what should you like to
Speaker 1: These wallets give you a recovery phrase. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: dig into a cold wallet that I use really quickly.
Speaker 1: Cold means it's hardware. It's like not on the internet. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a device, you know. Most of them
Speaker 1: look like a USB like little thumb drive. And so
Speaker 1: Ledger is the one that I use, a Ledger nano
Speaker 1: x UM it's a cold wallet. More on that soon.
Speaker 1: But they provide a recovery phrase which I have stored,
Speaker 1: and once I enter that recovery phrase, it unlocks my
Speaker 1: private keat again. Without that recovery phrase, I have no
Speaker 1: access to my crypto, no reputable wallet again, hot or
Speaker 1: cold should be storing my recovery phrase. In fact, when
Speaker 1: I signed up for Ledger, they give you a couple
Speaker 1: like pieces of paper, a couple of cards like physical
Speaker 1: pieces of paper that I can copy down with a
Speaker 1: pen my recovery phrase and store it in a safe
Speaker 1: place like whise choices, maybe a safe deposit box or
Speaker 1: a fireproof box or in your gun safe or whatever.
Speaker 1: And so your private key is protected by a recovery
Speaker 1: phrase that are typically like words like these random words'
Speaker 1: alleg you gives you twenty four words that are that
Speaker 1: are in your recovery phrase, and they're like super super
Speaker 1: random words like have house chair bright like these they're
Speaker 1: just random words or they seem random words that don't
Speaker 1: make any sense other otherwise. But they are the recovery
Speaker 1: phrase that is used to unlock your private key. So
Speaker 1: there are types of wallets that I want to discuss. UM.
Speaker 1: There are three types that are most prominent, or really
Speaker 1: there's three types. I should say that you should be
Speaker 1: familiar with UM though you'll find I'm sure your groove
Speaker 1: with probably one, maybe two of them, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: you'll find one that you probably prefer first up. UM.
Speaker 1: I would say it's probably lesser used, but that's speculation
Speaker 1: because it's just harder to do it. It's it's paper wallet.
Speaker 1: It's a paper wallet. As I mentioned before, your crypto,
Speaker 1: your wallet, I'm sorry, it's just like a set of
Speaker 1: alpha numeric characters that are your private key that unlock
Speaker 1: your crypto. So a paper wallet is a sheet of
Speaker 1: paper that you write down your characters, and using those characters,
Speaker 1: you can unlock your assets. It's clunky this way, but
Speaker 1: it's legitimate. You just need a sheet of paper that
Speaker 1: has you can you can you can memorize them, you know,
Speaker 1: if you want it. But it's a piece of paper.
Speaker 1: A paper wallet, it is that UM records the characters
Speaker 1: of your private key. Paper wallet UM more common because
Speaker 1: it is easier, is an online wallet. These are things
Speaker 1: like the coin based wallet, which I have. I have
Speaker 1: one UM, I don't use it as much anymore UM,
Speaker 1: which will discuss my reasons why. But a coin based wallet,
Speaker 1: and there are others. UM is software. It's an app
Speaker 1: that is typically protected by like a two step encryption UM.
Speaker 1: So it's likely gonna need like it's gonna send you
Speaker 1: a text when you're trying to sign in, or it's
Speaker 1: gonna require something like Google Authenticator UM that code when
Speaker 1: you try to sign in. But with your online wallet,
Speaker 1: they're largely easy to use, which makes them attractive to
Speaker 1: many because for people who are looking for simplicity and
Speaker 1: don't want to have all the responsibility of meaning maintaining
Speaker 1: a small device, like a hardware wallet, it typically is
Speaker 1: keeping it safe and remembers location. UH. A hot wallet,
Speaker 1: which is the software wallet UM is attractive, which brings
Speaker 1: me to the hardware wallet UM. The this is called
Speaker 1: a cold wallet UM. A hot wallet again is the
Speaker 1: software the app that does it. The cold wallet is
Speaker 1: hardware UM. Again, I use ledger. I have a nano
Speaker 1: x is by ledger. UM is a wallet that is
Speaker 1: not connected to the internet unless I plug it in. UM.
Speaker 1: But it's it's storing my keys offline. It's stored my
Speaker 1: keys are stored on the device. It's safer UM, provided
Speaker 1: I don't lose it. UM. But it does require me
Speaker 1: to be incredibly more responsible. Is that all it makes sense?
Speaker 1: I hope it does. Cold wallet is hardware. It's offline.
Speaker 1: It's not online, you know, unless I plug it in.
Speaker 1: A hot wallet software which is like coin based wallet.
Speaker 1: And there are many many others UM, but they are
Speaker 1: on line, and there are third parties managing your crypto,
Speaker 1: managing your keys. They both have their own bit of attractiveness.
Speaker 1: If you are if you do not want to be
Speaker 1: responsible for knowing where your device is, knowing where your
Speaker 1: that paper is, knowing where that little thumb drive that
Speaker 1: we call a that I call a ledger in my
Speaker 1: my my respects a nano x or other device that
Speaker 1: you use. If you don't want to be responsible for that,
Speaker 1: something like a coin based wallet might work for you,
Speaker 1: Which brings me to UM. The topic of a const
Speaker 1: custodio or non custodiol at this stage because they have
Speaker 1: so many implications too. Hot or cold wallets, hardware or
Speaker 1: software wallets, UM, custodio and non custodio. It makes sense
Speaker 1: to discuss those now because the definitions go hand in
Speaker 1: hand with the wallet types. Custodio wallets are like software.
Speaker 1: Those are the wallets that we are trusting knowingly or
Speaker 1: unknowingly a third party like coin base or some other
Speaker 1: company to manage our crypto with a custodia wallet, while
Speaker 1: it might be encrypted, it's throwed on somebody's server somewhere
Speaker 1: like maybe AWS, or maybe that company has their own
Speaker 1: server farm. But in any case, somebody else, the custodian
Speaker 1: is managing their holding tight to our private keys. The
Speaker 1: benefits of this custodian wallet is just what we discussed convenience,
Speaker 1: playing simple. They're a lot easier to use. They're built
Speaker 1: for the lowest common denominator. Not to say that cold
Speaker 1: wallets are not built for the lowest common denominators, but
Speaker 1: they are custodial that they're somewhere we get to hold
Speaker 1: somebody's hand when we crossed the street. All right, so
Speaker 1: beautifully designed, um, but we don't have to a lot
Speaker 1: of responsibility to get to point B from where we
Speaker 1: are in point eight. But God forbid that coin base
Speaker 1: gets hacked, because that means you are susceptible, and whatever
Speaker 1: you know, coins I have left in my coin base
Speaker 1: is susceptible. So I don't leave my crypto in my
Speaker 1: coin base app. I choose to be responsible, So I
Speaker 1: choose to go the non custodial route, which means that
Speaker 1: I am fully grown, no longer holding anyone's hand when
Speaker 1: I crossed the street. I am taking full ownership of
Speaker 1: my future. In Web three, my data isn't stored on
Speaker 1: some company servers. The only records present of my private
Speaker 1: keys are you know the record actually the only records
Speaker 1: present about anything about my activity or or either on
Speaker 1: the blockchain or on my device. There is no like
Speaker 1: online service hold onto will Lucas data. I own it.
Speaker 1: It's in my It's right now, sitting right in front
Speaker 1: of me. And whoever records whatever records I keep on
Speaker 1: my person or in my house, let that be my
Speaker 1: private keys or whatever. There is no authority or company
Speaker 1: or app holding onto it but me. I own it
Speaker 1: fully and outright, both the benefits and the responsibility Lastly, UM,
Speaker 1: as we've talked a lot about coin base and Ledger
Speaker 1: in this episode, I want to take a final few
Speaker 1: minutes here and set the record clear about the differences
Speaker 1: between an exchange and a wallet. Um. In most in
Speaker 1: the most basic terms, a crypto exchange is like you
Speaker 1: ever been in the airport and next to like Chick
Speaker 1: fil a, they have a counter where you can exchange
Speaker 1: your euro for US dollars or exchange your U S
Speaker 1: dollars for renman. B Um, it's an exchange desk, and
Speaker 1: there's an exchange rate. And so I'm gonna make this
Speaker 1: up because I could look. But unless it's a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, let's let's do the real work here and
Speaker 1: find exchange rate from U S d to Euro Boom okay,
Speaker 1: So for one U S dollar I can get eighty
Speaker 1: nine cents in euros Okay, one one dollar equals eighty
Speaker 1: nine cents in Europe. So it kind of works the same,
Speaker 1: well it does. It works the same way, So one
Speaker 1: dollar one type the same one U S dollar to
Speaker 1: one So for one dollar, well not much. Let's just
Speaker 1: do it backwards. If I want one, if I have
Speaker 1: to pay two thousand, eight hundred dollars as of right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's did it backwards, because it's going to be like
Speaker 1: points years years, years, years, ARLs or something if I
Speaker 1: do it the other way. You guys are pretty good
Speaker 1: at math. So for one for two thousand eight dollars,
Speaker 1: I can buy one at president value that is the
Speaker 1: exchange rate, and so on an exchange, I can trade
Speaker 1: my US dollars for ethereum, or for a bitcoin, or
Speaker 1: for dose or for shiba. And exchange is not a wallet.
Speaker 1: But in this case, like coin base, a company who
Speaker 1: develops an exchange can also develop a wallet. They they
Speaker 1: are mutually exclusive, but they don't have to be. The
Speaker 1: coin Base could have just said we're gonna think in
Speaker 1: the exchange game, we're not gonna do a wallet, but
Speaker 1: they decided to play in the wallet game too. I
Speaker 1: mentioned that I also have a coin based wallet, So
Speaker 1: that wallet, whether or not it's developed by coin based,
Speaker 1: is software or hardware. In the case of my ledger
Speaker 1: that allows me to store my coins. I can make
Speaker 1: transactions using my wallet. I cannot make transactions with dollars
Speaker 1: that are stored on the exchange. The exchange is just
Speaker 1: where I'm playing the money game. I'm going back and
Speaker 1: forth exchanging my dollars from our bitcoin or from more ethereum, retcetera.
Speaker 1: But if I want to go buy a cup of
Speaker 1: coffee at some you know, cool, you know coffeehouse, I
Speaker 1: need to have my money moved off of the exchange
Speaker 1: and into a wallet. I can't also sign into a
Speaker 1: service using an exchange my exchange account. I need to
Speaker 1: have my wallet set up. So let's use open Seed.
Speaker 1: We use open see a lot as an example, because
Speaker 1: I mean, we're heavy users of open See, the Amazon
Speaker 1: of n f t s, and so if I want
Speaker 1: to sign in to open Seed to buy an inn
Speaker 1: f T, I cannot do it using any you know
Speaker 1: password or user name that I have on coin based
Speaker 1: the exchange. I need to have a coin based wallet
Speaker 1: set up in order to sign in to open See
Speaker 1: and many many other Web three platforms require you to
Speaker 1: have a wallet. You gotta have a wallet to sign
Speaker 1: into these things. So whether or not you use something
Speaker 1: like Ledger or coin based, one of the features of
Speaker 1: the wallet. It's also that they show you how much
Speaker 1: you own of a particular coin, and some may even
Speaker 1: show you the present value of those things. So if
Speaker 1: I own one eight ledger, the dashboard might show me
Speaker 1: that that one E present value is two thousand five dollars.
Speaker 1: So I love doing these episodes about crypto, blockchain, n
Speaker 1: f t S, and more with you guys, And I
Speaker 1: want to know where questions you guys have because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be having some really really cool conversations with even
Speaker 1: more experts in the field of crypto on this show.
Speaker 1: And so I want to know what you guys have
Speaker 1: questions about. If you have specific questions that you want answered,
Speaker 1: and you know nobody answers questions like we do, send
Speaker 1: me your questions, d n me. I am on Instagram,
Speaker 1: I'm on Twitter. On Twitter, it's Will Underscore Lucas. On Instagram,
Speaker 1: it's just Will Lucas. W I L L l U
Speaker 1: c A y S follow me, shoot me a d
Speaker 1: M ask me what you got. And I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: having more interviews and conversations where I would do things solo,
Speaker 1: just talking about um getting you educated in order to
Speaker 1: play well in the game of Web three, whether it
Speaker 1: be about n f t s, you have questions, send
Speaker 1: them to me, crypto currencies, you have questions, send it
Speaker 1: to me, blockchain, send it to me because I want
Speaker 1: to make sure we're giving you value on this show.
Speaker 1: If you loved this episode, please go to iTunes and
Speaker 1: drop five stars and then it means a lot when
Speaker 1: you do that. I really appreciate you guys for taking
Speaker 1: this ride with us. I hope to see you in
Speaker 1: real life and either Brooklyn coming up that were announced
Speaker 1: at the top of this episode, or Austin this November.
Speaker 1: So afro Tech is back and we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: ton of conversations about crypto, n f t S and
