Well, short version on crypto generally is I still think the primary use case is speculation. And not that there's anything wrong with that. People speculate on stocks, retail, trading. People speculate on football games, gambling. Like the natural tendency for humans to want to speculate is very real.

The art to me is because everybody's now a node connected into these crypto, let's call Bitcoin, you know, Can you build an application on top that would have too much inertia, too much friction to start from scratch, but it has real value?

That was like literally the Facebook monopoly story. And so I think that's true of crypto. There's lots of nodes.

Well, we'll see. I don't know if I would have made that trade, honestly, but it's complicated. For Carl Anthony Towns? Really? Yeah. Fascinating. He's playing so good. I know, but I think he had the chemistry all dialed in. Hopefully they can build back better. Build back better, absolutely.
