"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And the use case is tokenizing of securities, tokenizing of currency, tokenizing of other assets, tokenizing of commodities, right?

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And you need smart contracts and you need bandwidth and functionality to do it.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

It looks like

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Ethereum is the early creator of that.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And there's going to be a competition between Ethereum and Solana and Hype and other, you know, Sui and all these other coins.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Ethereum clearly is the leader in that space right now.

And all of the other proof of stake networks are going to be competing, you know, to tokenize securities and tokenize currencies and the like.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

I think that the idea of tokenizing securities and other real world assets is strongly legitimized post the last election, right?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

I mean, this administration...

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Paul Atkins at the SEC, Selig at the CFTC, and the new White House, they have legitimized the idea of tokenizing assets.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And so that was a big boost.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

It was a much more difficult future to see two years ago than it is today.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

There's still a lot of uncertainty about the utility that you can provide to a tokenized currency, tokenized security, or tokenized commodity, or just the creation of a token.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

There's a lot of uncertainty there.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And we're hoping for the Clarity Act to clear some of that uncertainty away.

"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

But there's no question that there's a consensus there.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)
