Americans, to think about growing with the United States, we will have...

far than enough money to invest in this infrastructure.

But as the governor was talking about, the need for electrons is growing every day.

Some of these, you know, if we're going to be the leader in technology, which we are, if we are going to be the leader in AI, which we presently are,

It's just going to require trillions of dollars of investments.

And if we don't invest in it, China will be the global leader in this.

And so to me, it's not whether.

This is a must.

And if you think about how that translates, it translates into a more dynamic economy.

We need the United States economy to grow at over 2%.

We need the U.S.

economy to grow at 3%, especially with the growing deficits the federal government has.

And so much of this money, not just the private, is going to be coming from the private sector, from savings accounts, from pension accounts, from insurance companies, and on and on and on.

Bitcoin is a decentralized protocol.

There's actually no issuer of it.

So in the sense that central banks have independence, Bitcoin is even more independent.

There's no country or company or individual who controls it in the world.

And so anyway, I think it's a healthy competition because...

Because if people can decide which one they trust more, and I think it's actually the greatest accountability mechanism on deficit spending.

I don't think there's any uncertainty about AI.
