Oh, this is so much fun. So I don't know if you listened to any of our... I did.

The goal is not to be accurate.

There's no thrill in accuracy. No, that's it. And I also feel, I mean, especially Adam, having gone through the, the just listening to, because we've now done this, we did it in, in 22 and 23 and 24.

So, and I mean, I, we've said this over and over again, but God, just like re listening to those, I'm really reminded yet again, predictions tell you more about the present than they do about the future.

And, and the, like, I mean, God, those years had such like 2022 was the year of web three and the God, it was so hyped and overhyped that it created this huge overhang over that year where I would, Simon, we did something that actually I regret doing.

I would never do again, which is we, I limited everyone to one web three prediction because everyone was just like tripping over themselves to put to demise of it.

No, no, no. Here's why I think that was a bad idea. Because the fact that you have to put that limitation... And obviously, this is the policing mind versus the criminal mind. Clearly, I was putting that limitation in for myself. I clearly was the one who, like, I was the criminal. But the fact that you need that limitation says that, like, actually, there's a desire.

Like, this is so overwhelming that people want to talk about it. And as a result, I think, Adam, our other predictions that you were not that good. The predictions that year were terrible because I really wanted to make three Web3 predictions. I just want to make nonstop Web3 predictions. But Simon, that year, Adam had a great prediction, which is that Web3 falls out of the lexicon.

And Simon, for years, we've done this. every year since 2000. We'd been missing some years in the middle, but we did this for a long, long time together. And we didn't record the sessions. And one of the challenges that we had is when a prediction was right... And Adam, I remember vividly this happening to you, but I think it's happened to a bunch of folks where a prediction was correct.
