I'm definitely big into the crypto Web3 space.
00:02
You know, I went to Token in Singapore.
00:05
I have a crypto podcast called Courtside Crypto, which basically for me, it's, you know, whenever
00:11
you talk to people that are into crypto space, right, they use a lot of words that people
00:14
don't understand or can't gravitate.
00:15
For me, it's like being the bridge the gap, because at the end of the day, do I look at
00:18
the crypto world is that I feel the cup is about 90 to 95% full, right?
00:22
All those people in that space, they're all in the pot.
00:24
But in our world, in the Web2 world, what they call the normies, I feel like it's to
00:29
be conservative, maybe only 8% full of the cup, which means there's a 92% cup that needs
00:33
to get full, right?
00:35
Because the world is changing.
00:36
You see with them talking about building out a Bitcoin reserve here in America, right?
00:40
Right now, you can use your USDC to pay for regular things.
00:44
I know I use my own USDC card to pay when I go to go to restaurants, right?
00:49
So for me, it's like, how can I take the Web2 audience and integrate, but take both worlds
00:54
and combine them into one.
00:55
And for me, with MyPockets and my platform, I feel like I'm able to articulate and help
00:59
people onboard and understand in a way that's very simple.
01:02
My base, this is my goal is, how can I take the gentleman that works at a concession stands
01:06
in the arena, instead of him going to, and no disrespect to none of these financial institutions,
01:12
instead of going to H&R Block and Fidelity and giving me your biweekly check to invest
01:15
for you, how about you learn how to take more financial freedom, because I feel like crypto,
01:20
it's gaining back your financial freedom, where you can open a wallet, where you can
01:23
do DeFi and yield and make 1% a day on your money, right?
01:27
My whole goal is to help people create financial freedom and help their life grow.
