And now the rubber is going to meet the road. We're going to see like what applications can be built, what programs can be built. what type of experiences can be built in a much more efficient way, in a way that maybe the expense of building these things might have been holding back the companies previously. So for anyone that's interested in building... Time to build.

Time to build is Marc Andreessen's thing. It's a pretty exciting moment.

A moment also to reflect on failures to build. Oh, he doesn't do that. He doesn't do that.

Yeah. Did you see he was on Lex Friedman and he was talking about like Andrew Uberman's protocols of like, you know, you got to put your phone away before bed. And he's like, the most masculine thing you can do is stare at your phone for three hours before bed and fall asleep. Like Mark Andreessen's got some problems and put it that way.

Oh, yeah. Those red sirens are blaring where I am as well. I think that like one of the interesting things about the blockchain innovation was that it was supposed to enable like a new web built on top of decentralized protocols. And what have we gotten instead? A speculation machine. We haven't seen anything built on top of this.

So therefore, all these coins are just entirely speculation oriented. There are rug pulls waiting to happen. I think Bitcoin obviously is different. It's got some staying power. There's a floor for Bitcoin. And people have made a lot of money on it. But is crypto good for anything else? I haven't seen it yet.

I actually don't know that there are a lot of other businesses like that. Yeah, but what crypto really needs is a deep seek moment. Honestly, technology is inefficient. It needs to be made orders of magnitude more efficient to make any sense outside of speculation. And maybe if and when that happens... then we'll be able to see some real promise there.

But until then, I don't really believe it's much more than speculation. Maybe Bitcoin is a store of value in some way, but the rest, I'm not getting on board the Trump and Melania coin right now. Sorry.
