Just a note to start this as in general, Rodrigo has been the absolute best mentor that I could’ve asked for. He is always there with the answer if he has it, and willingness to go find out the answer if he doesn't have it directly. . If I have an issue or I need a bit of a push due to falling behind with some of the things I’m attempting to get done, Rodrigo is there which I appreciate and have needed. Given the workload that I had taken on outside of this I appreciate Rodrigo his kindness and knowledge and willingness to share his knowledge with me and the group.

Focusing on the meeting that we had May 21, 2025 this meeting was in relation to step four in the hardware wallet, software wallet area, learning how to get crypto currency tokens, assets off the grid no longer managed by Coinbase, but managed by ourselves as the decentralized bank. I have attended the office hours a couple times for step four, but it just doesn’t fit with the kind of things I need answers to or would like to discuss. Unfortunately, many of the people that show up for these office hours are actually working on the issues of executing the step itself. I don’t have any issue there generally with any of the steps, but I need help when it comes to looking at things a little bit deeper wanting to understand the why, how, what, and where this is headed. What it’s gonna do to help me. I was told that I could set up a meeting and that that Rodrigo and I could go and discuss this. He actually set the meeting up for me. I had notes with about eight questions to start the meeting off with. These are listed below to give idea of how I am stretching Rodrigo as well.

current list of things I wanted to discuss. 1) Not seeing how you do everything from your HW Wallet to make it a real decentralized Bank. 3) Do we have an app to make HW Walllet easier to use? 4) Do we always have to be plugged in to USB to do anything? 5) Havent yet figured out how we determine which network a Token used as with Etherium using Abritrum? How is it " using " network? Network of what? 6)What is a bridge in this case? 7)What is a Phntom Wallet and these other Wallets? 8)How do you make your own Bank as simple as possible in this area? 9) do youbuy anything by making it more complex? like security, or lower fees, anything? Just a start, I am still diving into this while finishing up step 5.

We reviewed all of these questions most of which were completely resolved and helped my understanding and gave me knowledge that will help going forward. I completely respect Rodrigo and appreciate all his efforts.
