Nick: Welcome to Dose of Degen, where we talk about Web3, crypto and blockchain. Today, we are going to get this show started. I'm going to kick it off with what we're going to be talking about, what this podcast is all about and why I decided to keep it short form instead of long form.

This is Dose of Degen, and I'm happy that you're here today. Thank you for coming along for the ride. Thank you for being here at this first episode of a discussion and questions and answers about what is Web3? What is crypto? All of that fun stuff out there.

And this is just the intro so who knows where this is going to go? I'm excited to get started and, um, I got four questions here that I wanted to ask and then I'm going to answer.

Okay. So the first one is what is Dose of Degen? Well, I kind of covered that at the beginning. It's going to be about anything Web3. So if you're not familiar with Web3, it'll be things like NFTs.

It's going to be about with Web3 security. It'll be about cryptocurrency and what's going on out there in the crypto world, maybe a little bit of investing and definitely blockchain stuff, technology around all of these things.

I'm hoping that I can just take a lot of this information and compress it down to just five to 10 minutes of action packed, not really action packed, but fact-filled five to 10 minutes just to help you learn a little bit more about what is going on out there in the technology world, when it comes to decentralized finance and things like that.

All right. Uh, the second question, what topics are we going to be talking about? Well, I just covered what topics too I pre wrote these down so we'll just have to go with it.

Um, I listed all of those before. Let's just go ahead and go to the next one.

How does this help you? Well, um, believe it or not you have already come in contact with some form of, uh, blockchain work, probably. And if you aren't familiar with what it's going to do, it's going to kind of, and I use this term lightly revolutionize the technology industry.

It is, um, a lot more. Uh, it creates a ledger. So it's a lot more transaction-based and can show things like logging information. So when something happens, you can go back and see how it happened, where it happened and all kinds of fun stuff. So we'll get more into the details, but that's basically. The, the helping factors to let you know, how is this going to affect you?

How is it going to help you get into more of a possible financial situation that could be better for you? How could you take a little bit more risk and put it out there if you're trying to make more money, and all of that fun stuff.

So, uh, hopefully if there's anything along the lines that you want to learn, I'll have a way to, just let you ask your question and get the best answer to you.

I love to research. So if you give me a topic, I don't know about it. I might just go down a rabbit hole, find out too much, but I will find out the information and get the answer back. And then the last question I wrote down here is why should you listen?

Well, you don't have to. But it's my hope that I can share some information with you.

Get some of the knowledge that's in my head out there and help you understand just a little bit more of this crazy crypto world and what we're calling Web3 and the future of finance, the future of technology and how it affects you. So maybe that's a little bit of why, but also just because I'm passionate about this stuff, I love to talk about technology in general, but then you introduce technology with de-centralization, which is like removing the centralized authorities, like Google and all the big tech companies.

So I'm really passionate about just putting it into the ha
