Yeah. I mean, I think that's a really good point that like the NFT, even as crypto has had a resurgence, you know, Bitcoin crossed $100,000. NFTs are like nowhere to be found. You know, like the NFT platforms are struggling. A couple of them just went out of business. And

I would not be shocked to see that happen to these meme coin platforms where they sort of lose their novelty value and people just see them as big scams and there's really no point. But...
