DA: "To understand cryptocurrencies and blockchain, you have to understand the origins of them and how they came about in the first place.  So, the Bitcoin, specifically, which was the forerunner of blockchain, came about as the result of the financial crisis of 2008."

(Karen mentioned 9-11 and that everyone wanted their money and the banks closed.)
DA: "So, Bitcoin was created to prevent that from being able to happen.  It was created as a way to give the people a way of having control of their money in a peer-to-peer way where you don't need this middle intermediary."

What is Blockchain?

"Are you a Dandy or a Legacy Builder?"

WHAT IS A DANDY?

“La Sape” is a unique movement based in Congo that unites fashion-conscious men who are ready to splurge money they don’t really have on designer clothes. Dressing in stark contrast with their surroundings, these elegant ambiance-makers become true local celebrities… but this fame comes at a price.  

To afford the price tag of their designer clothes, “sapeurs” have to save, borrow and even steal money, sometimes bringing ruin to their families. But even the grim consequences of their indulgent dressing habits often don’t stop “sapeurs” from spending money they don’t really have. They are in constant competition with each other and investing in their image is more important to them than improving their living conditions.
