Fair enough. Jeff Koons, I guess, could be compared to the Trump meme coin and that might be a plausible comparison. Do you think it's strange? Forget the legality. Do you think it's strange for the president to be doing this?

OK, well, since Trump was inaugurated, the price of Bitcoin, the largest and most popular cryptocurrency, if people have heard of any cryptocurrency, they will have heard of Bitcoin. It hit it surpassed one hundred thousand dollars, which is unbelievable, basically doubled in value. And more and more people are treating Bitcoin like a legitimate asset class.

The problem is, is that right now, at least you'll correct me if I'm wrong, crypto is not really usable. Like people are still talking about use cases for crypto. I can't go into the deli or I can't go into buy a sandwich and use crypto. Explain the gap for me. Why am I not able to use it in that way in the real world? And when will I be able to?

But it's almost like small-minded of me to ask, why can't I go into a 7-Eleven and use crypto? Because I also wouldn't go into a 7-Eleven and use a gold bar.

One of the tensions I see right now between like inside of the right, and I think that this is like a fascinating debate watching it play out, is the tension between sort of the nationalist impulse, the nationalist populace who want a strong dollar, obviously, and want America to win and, you know, are very, very invested in this idea of America first. And then...
