Depending. If you read it, like, obviously, it's not overtly political, but it is a political notion to want to build a technology that, you know, circumvents the need for middlemen or middle institutions or it's basically, you know, trying to come up with a decentralized form of global finance, right? Yeah. that in itself is just, it's an anti-institutional idea.

And that technology, when it first, you know, came out and no one was really caring about it except for like engineers and super nerds. And I mean that, you know, in a, in a, in a loving way, like those types of people are like techno cyber libertarians, right?

They are people who want that sort of democratization, who have a healthy skepticism of institutions and authorities and power and would like a technological tool to circumvent all that.
