Well, zero-knowledge proofs are a different form in cryptography, and I'm not the best person to ask about this, but I did have some Zcash at one point in my life because I like what was going on there. But there are some weaknesses, I understand, in that cryptocurrency, only in that if you do have a zero-knowledge proof system, you can't be 100% certain that there wasn't a founder bias.

You know, the people who booted the coin up, did they put any coins aside, and will they ever liquidate them on you? But I understand it's a very powerful... uh, uh, system for cryptocurrency and that it's anonymous and it's better than the anonymity you have in Bitcoin. Um, yeah.

So, uh, but no, that, that's, uh, I think it's along the lines of the analogies to crypto is that, um, in, in, in crypto, you can have decentralized people, um, all weigh in on a consensus from all over the world. And science very much should be run that way. It shouldn't be top down where, uh, This is fringe thinking according to Anthony Fauci, and he is the science, and this isn't.

I mean, this is – we've seen this problem with like the Gutenberg printing press, right? When that came out, the church wanted to grab hold of it to control how – which Bibles were printed, right? It was a power grab on how do we preach to the masses. The same thing is happening with peer review today. The Gutenberg printing press now is science and nature and all these institutions. Right.

And if you look at those institutions, they have better profit margins than Google, right? Elsevier, if you look at them, they have remarkable profit margins. It's because everyone in academia is paying them to print in their journals and none of that money goes out the door to any of the reviewers who do the work.

So they have a remarkable business that needs to be completely dismantled and obliterated with a peer-to-peer system that can do this on chain, if you will. We have the tools to do it.

We just have to – as scientists, we have to have the courage to want to step out of that cloth of everyone in academia has kind of weighed like did you get your paper into Nature or was it into some predatory journal or some sort. And so it's really risky for someone to say, hey, I'm just going to go over here and print this on chain and do a crypto-funded incentivized peer review. Right.
