Like an average person is not gonna look at an interest rate swap and be like, I'm gonna participate in that.

It's just, you know, too complicated, very unrelatable.

And I think the thing that's changed and that's great, I mean, there's, for example, like,

There's this account on Twitter.

It's like only grounded 10 or something.

This person basically has made $70,000 trading on culture, culture markets.

So how successful movies are going to be, what Taylor Swift is going to release or not release.

And they paid off their student loans with that.

And it's just kind of like their favorite company.

They love the company so much because they're like,

I have spent like hours and days and weeks and months learning about this.

And up until now, it was kind of like, it was like a fun side thing.

Now I can like actually, you know,

actually exercise my skills and it could become a hobby and I could sort of try to make money off of it.

And I see this very similar, it's kind of like Uber's value proposition with these types of marketplace, new category kind of creators, like Uber was sort of like, you have a lot of free time, how about you ride a little bit and make some money?

And then in our case, like you have a lot of knowledge, sometimes very niche, weird knowledge, like maybe even your family doesn't even want to hear about it at Thanksgiving, but how about you kind of try to make some money off of that?

And from the beginning, it's like if we can build a financial market in a regulated, safe way, like where you put the right set of customer protection and you let people kind of openly and transparently trade against each other, that could be very interesting things because you can have this sort of like social crowdsourced, let's figure out the truth together.

Let's figure out the price.

The same way that markets figure out the price of.

That's a great question.
