And we were funny enough talking a little bit about this, is that building what we're building, it's not a choice, it's an obsession. And you bring everything you've got to it. And we were talking about, hey, how do you deal with waking up at three in the morning and your mind doesn't stop racing?
Going back and forth and sharing each of our techniques and probably going back home tonight and trying them I think Elon is one of the most impressive examples of someone who has done this for such a prolonged amount of time at moments in time when the entire world refused to align around his view.

I think there's companies in the world that get built because they were at the right moment at the right time. And there's companies in the world that get built that shouldn't have the right to exist. Everything is against them. And I think Elon has done that not once. He's done it multiple times. And it brings me to another quote that I heard on an interview from him or about him was Peter Thiel.

And Peter Thiel said, when we all worked with Elon, we thought he was crazy. He would take so much risk. And then he went and started, you know, Tesla and SpaceX. And we thought he was even crazier. And if one of those two companies would have worked out, we would have said he'd gotten lucky. But both of those companies worked out and beyond and to extremes.

But there's something Elon understands about risk that the rest of us don't. And for me, that's the second quote that's been on my mind most of this year.

When I was in high school in 2008, my very first startup was a virtual digital currency. My views on crypto have changed a lot over the years. The notion of decentralization and what it can mean for the world is incredible, are incredible ideals.

The problem I think that we've seen in crypto is a quote that I learned, it might have been my high school economics professor, and he said, bad money drives out good money. If you think about this in environments, when bad actors come in, it drives out the good actors because we want to be in environments with other good actors.
