Well, back then it was only Bitcoin.

So Bitcoin was the reason to go into that space.

I was a little bit curious.

So I was at the time...

getting more into what what money actually is so it was at the time uh when when the euro was well in a little bit trouble there were all those huge bailout things and and i was trying to figure out what what what does those things even mean and what does money even mean what does it mean if those huge amounts are flowing around there and well then

That's how I figured out about Bitcoin and that it's possible to create very different forms of money.

And that excited me back then.

Yeah, so the whole space evolved and now it's not only about money and it's about blockchain and a new form to organize the internet and a new form to

um create platforms so to us blockchain is will or we we assume that it will bring as much change as the internet did brought 20 years ago um so gnosis is one of hopefully many um decentralized platforms so that's what we assume will happen we assume that every

platform that exists today, Uber, Airbnb, eBay, will be replaced eventually by decentralized platforms.

And Gnosis is a platform

decentralized platform for prediction markets.

And prediction markets are basically just a range of financial products that can range from betting, from options to insurances and a few more.

So, well, on the sports betting side, that would be Betfair.

That's the biggest betting exchange.

Then it's...

I mean, so we are really going for lots of new markets.

So I think it's always easier if there's new technology to create completely new stuff.

And then later you, and then later this technology will replace.

So with our product, we are doing something new.
