But that was actually pre-ChatGPT, right?

So I didn't really conceive the actual value of this thing.

And lo and behold, like, now with all of the agents that we have, like, you could actually make a very strong case for what WorldCoin is doing among other privacy-preserving, you know, or biometric-style protocols.

And then the last thing maybe related to crypto itself is...

I think this privacy-preserving KYC will become a standard across a number of emerging applications.

Like, imagine a points program gated by this, or an ICO, or earning rewards in a deepen protocol, or to be a voter in a DAO.

Basically, all of these applications, which are very prone to Sybil attacks, well, this is one of the better conduits to make it Sybil-resistant.

It's very difficult to say, because historically, privacy hasn't performed very well in crypto, like we can go down that rabbit hole.

But I think it's just still a bit early for privacy, believe it or not, like as much as you know, you want and I want it, we're actually in the minority, probably closer to the cypherpunk crowd.

You look at the...

Just the marginal new user in crypto.

They're not so concerned about privacy.

And that's why a lot of these businesses just haven't taken off yet.

And then also introducing privacy without adding too much friction is incredibly important.

So, yeah.

And actually, maybe the actual last thing I'll mention on this front is we have a lot of phenomenal FHE and ZK companies.

You know, like Sysync, like Zama.

I think they can and will do incredibly well over a longer period of time.

It just probably won't be, I don't expect to break out maybe this year.

Absolutely.
