Sure.

I kind of think that's the same thing that Gary Gensler was doing.

He was just like, stall, just stall the industry.

Stall, stall, stall, stall, stall.

And like one thing I'm bummed about is we get all of the things that we just said, which we have been asking for, for so long, for years, like five, six years now.

And we're doing it in a time in which crypto builder energy is like at an all time low.

And investment is at an all time low.

Like imagine if we had some of this stuff

in like 2021, 2022, 2023, when like investment was higher, builder energy was higher.

It was like a more opportune time to do all this stuff.

Yeah, like the TradFi Wall Street, the people that we've been going up against have bought themselves enough time so that they get a larger share of the wins that we are just talking about.

And if we had gotten it earlier, maybe we could have retained on a little bit more of the crypto native side of the pendulum.

And they have successfully delayed to the point where like finally Wall Street's relevant and now this stuff is happening.

But that's just... I get that.

That's right.

That's right.

All right, coming up next, we're going to talk about the Tempo mainnet and the battle for agentic payments that is arising.

The MPP standard is going up against X402, Coinbase Stripe, Visa, MasterCard.

Everyone is trying to build this agentic economy.

I actually do think that the agentic economy is going to be kind of a main quest line for the next decade.
