I think we definitely are chasing that a bit. I think every company should be chasing that a bit. You don't want to over-engineer things from the beginning so that they're infinitely scalable before you see some level of product market fit. I think it's always good to have a tiny bit of buffer where you can scale to some degree.

But if you built it such that it can scale infinitely from the beginning, you probably over-engineered it. At the same time, you don't want to have to redesign your entire system every time you add new customers. So there's definitely a delicate balance there. But you don't want to spend so much time building the perfect system that it's going to take you years to get anything out.

And by that point, you're so far behind that the world has passed you by. So I think that we are in a pretty decent position where we feel like we started out good. at a place where we could get some determination on whether there was product market fit. Once we found where that was, we are at a place where we can now start to continue to scale the system more and more.

I think we're still at that point where you don't want to make it absolutely perfect and infinitely scalable, but you want to make it to a point where you can scale to the level of customer that you anticipate, plus some amount of buffer. And I think we're in a pretty good position there.

Honestly, I'm most proud of the team. We've built such an amazing, strong team that really coalesces around problems and can ship quickly. And they're just amazing people that really work well together. It's never an easy journey as a startup, but this team is truly world-class. And I think it makes my life easier.

It makes all of our lives easier when we have a group that we can just get in a room together and brainstorm things and feel like there's no judgment on dumb ideas because I've had many dumb ideas in my time and I'm sure I'll have many more.

And I think it's healthy to be able to brainstorm things together and just throw things out, have others be able to build on those things and build great solutions on top of that. So I think that is probably the thing I'm most proud of. If I'm looking at like the technical side, it's probably when Coinbase integrated with us.
