For years, for years, people have invested in commodities around what they think is going to happen in world events.

You know, back in the day, if you thought there was going to be war in the Middle East, you buy oil futures, right?

Well, now with these prediction markets, you can actually bet on the outcome itself versus like exposure to a third party asset, right?

I think that's very powerful.

And I don't think that genie is going back inside the bottle.

Yeah, especially now with the whole NBA scandal, I feel like people are looking for better ways to invest their money, right?

Exactly.

And what's interesting, too, about Polymarket specifically is that it's all transparent on chain, right?

So if a big whale insider comes in and bets a lot,

people notice that because they see it and you know that creates conversation people understand this might be an insider things like that so there's like there isn't the black box that exists with like traditional casinos and sports books like you don't know who's betting you don't know what they're betting or how it's going in everything's on chain there absolutely now i know you're also big in the music industry yeah do you think the future of music is gonna uh have a lot of ai involved absolutely man um and i'm very bullish on it uh you know to me

Absolutely.

You know, I founded Billboard Dance, built that, you know, Ranspin Magazine as editor-in-chief.

So I've been deep in the music side for a while.

I DJ, I produce music.

And I think that the rise of AI music, generative AI music,

know pro programs and platforms like suno and audio are going to absolutely change the music industry they're not ready for it yeah um i like right now what took me weeks as a producer takes me hours damn it's crazy man you can create your own samples you can create your own loops anything you can imagine comes out and what's also very powerful powerful unlock i'm a bite ear musician so for me like i grew up hearing music in my head

I play, I'll play a little piano, play a little viola.

I wasn't particularly great at those, but you know, like they weren't, those just weren't the right tools for me to get the music out of my head.

And I remember I used to have to like hit a key, be like, Oh, laboriously, like what's the note in my head?

Is it this key?
