Anyway, he was like the king of the world.

And then you sat with him and you'll see it in the film.

I just ask him basic questions like, what does it do?

What does it do that's good for the world?

And he says, remittances.

And I just been to El Salvador.

I'm like, bullshit.

And then he goes, well, it's not working now, but in the future.

And you go, and it doesn't function as a currency.

And he's like, yeah, well, now it doesn't.

It will in the future.

One of the interesting things about Bitcoin is that it can't function as a currency because of the technology.

So the technology, one reason why it doesn't work so well is it can only handle five to seven transactions a second, whereas Visa can do 24,000.

So it just can't scale as a payments method.

Other blockchains are faster, but they're not limited in supply, right?

Like Bitcoin is, the 21 million Bitcoin that have to be mined.
