And I I like I I um you might not be able to to say this or want to say this, but I'll say like right now, as it is, there's probably a lot of things that could be done to make it easier for people to start banks that would be productive.
Like but r but right now, I mean, like the the the bar is extremely high.
I've put it this way, like this is uh starting a bank is very much uh a rich get richer thing right now.
Like you can't be a nineteen year old Palmer Lucky who started Oculus in his trailer and say, you know what, I've got this incredible idea for banking.
I think I'm gonna go start a bank.
Like maybe it's possible, but the process we went through I don't think a nineteen year old Palmer Lucky can get through.
No, that
I know you can't pick pick and choose, but I have to say, in my mind, I want someone to start a bank that is focused on adult content and other edge of illegal stuff.
It's not what I want to focus on.
But the problem is right now there's this weird gray area where there's things that are technically legal in the US, but no banks want to touch them because of the PR concerns or the actual real risk concerns, and so they end up being banked.
By foreign banks that are doing all kinds of weird payment stuff.
Now you have an opening for organized crime, an opening for sex trafficking, and opening, and you don't have any real insight into how any of it moves.
Like the US can't see how the money is moving, it becomes much harder for law enforcement.
These other international banks don't want to cooperate with law enforcement because they're making all their money off of sex trafficking and illegal payments and all of these other things.
And so I I've always wished that somebody would.
come up and say like, hey, I'm gonna bank I'm gonna bank, you know, all of the people that are on the edge of legality so that we can get at least some insight and access into this.
Uh I I don't want to be in that business personally, but somebody out there should do this because it it would it like it'd be probably better if you that whole industry, you know, theoretically didn't exist.
But in a world where it does exist, it's better that they not be banked by Russian
Organized crime.
I mean I'll leave Leo, I'll leave that to you, but I mean I was like you you y you said it doesn't take a quarter billion dollars.
