The single most important thing about us is our brain.

And you don't learn how to properly use it.

Well, I think that...

there were obviously a whole bunch of scammy ICOs.

But in principle, the idea that you could fund a protocol, you know, we have many incredibly important protocols in the world, like HTTP, for example, is an important protocol.

The idea that in principle you could fund the development of a protocol through selling some of its currency that is then integral to the running, integral to the operation of the protocol, I think is a really fascinating idea.

And I think it will...

be here to stay with us.

But I also think that the venture model and some hybrid between the two is here to stay.

So I think some model where there's some initial capital, so you get to a certain point and then you might sell tokens once you're launched.

Once the tokens are already trading and you still have a treasury out of which to sell.

So I believe we're very much in the early stages of exploring the whole space of what's possible here.

But incentivized protocol innovation and then incentivized protocols, to me, that is here to stay for sure.

Yeah, the current thesis is that we invest in companies and projects that broaden access to knowledge, capital, and well-being.

And I think that's really the thrust of digital technologies.

We can make access to those things broadly available for every human being.

Great.
