And I'm trying to figure out when, you know, all of a sudden, like everybody wants to host it.

All these podcasters, big podcasters, we want to host the debate.

We want to do the debate.

Everybody wants to do the CZ shift debate.

And then CZ ends up saying, hey, why don't you, why don't we have the debate in Dubai at my, you know, blockchain week is coming up.

which is not what I had in mind when I threw it out there.

I was going to just do something from my home, you know, on the Internet, like, you know, some other like, you know, crypto debates I've had.

But since he extended the invitation and was gracious enough to, you know, accept the debate, I wasn't going to, you know, refuse it.

So I came out here.

Again, a lot of the people that are hardcore enough to come to a conference, right?

Because, I mean, if you just casually buy a little Bitcoin, you know, you're not necessarily going to go to a Bitcoin conference.

But the people that go to the conferences are more into it.

Before you get into Bitcoin, usually you have to have a certain perspective on things.

And a lot of people that have those perspectives where they distrust government, distrust central banks, fiat currency and all that.

A lot of the people who feel that way feel that way because of me.

I'm the one that, you know.

got them thinking that way.

I put them on a path and they went down the path and eventually took a detour and got to Bitcoin.

But, you know, had I not put them on that path, they wouldn't have found the detour to Bitcoin.

And then even people that necessarily didn't buy Bitcoin because of me, but who own Bitcoin and know about me, I say a lot of the things that lead people who want to buy Bitcoin.
