I'm watching it, and it’s not just crypto talk but covering Korean divide, the wealth gap, and a ton of major events and somehow making all of it actually entertaining
Even from a Korean perspective, it's super fun.

Some interesting NEAR/ZEC/BTC stats I pulled a few days ago and forgot to post, here's a refresh (5/20):
- ZEC is the #1 asset on NEAR Intents
- $16.23M parked; 23.6% of all TVL
- BTC was cut from $18.78M to $11.95M and never restored
The solver inventory (TVL) is telling.
