Yeah. But for, yeah, the whole thing with NFTs, like I totally agree with you. Like, first of all, it's not art. Uh, and people are saying like, you know, here's a whole bunch of algorithmically created characters. You're kind of hurting the art space by just claiming this. Cause that's not where your value is coming from. And you're very right. You are claiming creative community space.

I love the Bill Murray one. That's a, that's a great, uh, NFT group where they're just like, everybody gets a meet him on a golf course once. Cause they had an NFT of him. Um, but that's like, so what that's a membership card. Like, what are you actually getting with this NFT? Yeah. Where's the value? The thing that it actually did was allow us to own digital media.

You can always right-click something. But now you could actually say, no, no, this is mine. People can still steal stuff, but it's this is mine. This says so. That was humongous. There's a reason why all the nerds behind it were like, this is game changing. This is huge. We just went through the digital revolution. And at the other end of that came what Napster that destroyed the music industry.

Everybody's right clicks, everything, everything lost value. And we had this horrible race to the bottom where if media can't hold value because it used to be based on scarcity, we had to pay for the package that would hold the media. And now we don't. And now NFTs with a promise to bring it back. My God, I get royalties every time I resell this. Yeah, that sticks on chain.

And so before all of that happened, 2017 was like the ICO craze and blockchain was still just like Bitcoin. And I think CryptoKitties had just launched at Denver.

We've got centralized platforms that tell you you're owning things, but all you're doing is licensing a use of it. The guy that owned At Music at Twitter, Musk just took it away. He said, because it's mine. They're all his. Of course they are. This is a centralized platform. Where's the ownership? That was the idea behind the patent. I was stuck in the brand space.
