If you think that first time you and I met, you had the Bitcoin conference and you and I probably looked alike.

We both had on t-shirts.

We were running around having a blast.

Now we're sitting up here with suits and ties on.

And I think Bitcoin- Wearing the costume.

Yeah, and Bitcoin has kind of graduated or grown up through the last 10, 15 years.

Talk a little bit about-

You know, you, I think, really have a great pulse on the hardcore Bitcoiner that has been coming to the Bitcoin conference year after year after year.

You today have a public company as well.

And so there's kind of this, some would say paradox, I would say, you know, complimentary component of there are still those hardcore Bitcoiners that are there that may not even like the Wall Street stuff.

Right.

But obviously, there are plenty of people who work inside of these organizations, whether it's me, you, Fong, et cetera, go and talk to these funds.

And it's like I always tell a story.

I got on a call one time on a Zoom call and the analyst had a Bitcoin, you know, Zoom background.

I was like, I got it.

So talk about maybe, you know, Bitcoin's kind of graduation to the stage that it's at today and how you've kind of navigated this as an entrepreneur.

One of the things that people have been very interested in is monetary policy, just in the economy in general.

I do think that there has been a connection between monetary policy and Bitcoin over the years, but I do think it is a little weird right now.

We're cutting rates into high GDP growth, stocks hitting all-time highs, Bitcoin going down.

How much do you guys pay attention to maybe what like a macro investor would be paying attention to versus from the outside people are just like, they're crazy.
