But I do believe that we will continue to go up.

We will continue to thrive because there is so much quality, so much, so much innovation, you know, like if you look at the best type of talent coming out of universities nowadays, they want to be in crypto.

They want to be working in a startup.

They want to be developing an AI Web3 solution or something because they know that the future is here.

The future is not outside and working in Deloitte or KPMG or something like that.

That's boring.

Why are you waiting 10 years to become a partner when you can just do your company, start something beautiful and just go with it?

Yes, it's a lot of stress.

Yes, you probably want to kill yourself at some point because of the stress levels are insane, but at least you are doing something beautiful, you know?

So that's my final take.

And I think that we are now one hour and we need to go, to go do something else.

And from my own experience, one thing that I noticed in the last one, two years of crypto is that there is more and more scams.

There is more and more people behind their computer screens saying like, oh, I'm selling you this or that or that.

But you don't know who these people are.

You never saw their faces.
