I think as as research analysts, when we're diligent diligencing an investment thesis, it might be highly technical or highly fundamental. But, of course, like, event driven catalysts can matter a lot.

show is powered by scale. We'll hear more about them later. But first, let's dive into today's episode.

Yeah. I mean, absolutely. Like, I think the past month has felt like at six months, it's been very volatile. Like, on January 19, Trump launched his own meme coin. Solana reached $291 per token, like, Bitcoin touch 109. And just, like, three days ago, we were all doom posting on the timeline thinking it was all over. Like, just the the contrast between, like, the sentiment two weeks ago, like, to this weekend is absolutely, like, amazing to me. And then I think, like, the market is starting, like, to navigate this macro uncertainty. Like, we're we're all becoming macro experts again. Like and

Meanwhile, you know, everyone and their favorite alts, the the volatility has been maybe difficult to contend with during that time. So it's just an interesting dynamic. I think people who are here for maybe a
