That stands out in the mind, but savvy the squirrel, not sure just yet.
The government want to see more of that investment and risk taking culture because it's not something that has been, you know, too prevalent in British society.
I think, you know, in America, in the US, there's a much greater sort of investing culture than there is here in the UK.
We quite commonly hear.
But yeah, younger people perhaps changing the dial a little bit.
It's definitely a part of it.
And it can make it feel more accessible when you have somebody who you might have a greater degree of trust in than a a stuffy, you know, financial establishment type figure telling you this is a good idea because you'll make money after this one day.
Yeah, we do like Martin Lewis.
I was thinking more of you know chief executives of big banks and things like that who who still have a bit of a you know a checkered reputation from the 2008 financial crash.
We haven't got a great degree of trust in our traditional banking system.
It has been repaired to a degree since 2008.
But for many people, like there is a feeling that uh the big banks let people down and the idea
Of an alternative has, you know, compelling sort of you know rationale to it.
I think there is there is certainly a sort of group, uh, a growing group of people who think, look, we can you know engage in uh this new way of doing things that isn't so dependent on big institutions and government.
Yeah.
Uh and that has a sort of libertarian appeal to people, but can be a bit like the Wild West sometimes.
I think part of it is a cultural thing.
Like if you are uh you know born into an age where this feels more normalized, you're more readily going to get involved.
Stock market crashes can be really painful if you are invested heavily.
Uh, and we have seen that particularly in the 2008 financial crash before that, the dot-com bubble, where financial markets completely collapsed and people lost their life savings.
