Yeah, well, just to be clear, I'm not necessarily seeing a crypto downturn coming.

I'm not sure where you're hearing that.

To me, that just sort of happens.

Every month, it's either up or down, so I don't know.

I don't think about it too much.

But we did acquire, I believe, 10 companies last year, and

Yeah, there's opportunities in any market.

When the market is up, we are just trying to scale and onboard new users and double down on the hype.

And when markets are down, we do get acquisitive.

We can buy back our stock.

There's all kinds of opportunities in any market condition.

That's a great point.

I mean, yeah, I remember in one day, sometimes I go speak with members of the government and bank CEOs.

And then I also go to crypto meetups where there's a bunch of hackers.

And they're like, why are you dressed like a banker?

And so we've tried to be a bridge between the crypto world and the traditional financial world because most of the money still resides in the traditional financial system and we need to be a bridge to get more and more of it into the crypto world so everything can be more efficient and global and cheap.

So I try to speak, I feel like I'm a translator.

I speak a little bit of bank and I speak hacker

And, you know, I try to translate between two.

I wear the uniform all the time.
