down by Bad Mortgage Investments, Lehman, which has 25,000 employees, will be liquidated. The federal government loans American International Group, AIG, $85,000,000,000. This is a different kind of market and the Fed is asleep. The
federal government is stepping in to stabilize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two mortgage giants that have been threatened by the housing crisis. The
bank of England has pumped £75,000,000,000 more into Britain's ailing economy with a new round of quantitative easing. You

to On the Brink. My name is Sean Judge. Today, I'm sitting down with Santi Alvarado, CEO and cofounder of XFX. Santi, thanks for joining me. Thank
you for having me, Sean. Pleasure to be here.
I guess just to start, it would be great if you could share your personal background and how you arrived at working in crypto.
