We're going to talk about the network state more.

But another reason why the network state has happened is because as the crypto market really kind of started to take off, they decided we don't want to pay taxes on this.

Yeah.

We did this all by ourselves.

And one of the things the network state is, it is a series of global tax shelters and tax evasion zones all over the world because they knew that they were striking gold and they wanted to make sure they get it out of having to pay it to the IRS and having to pay it to the people in this country and other countries.

Yeah, 100%.

It also goes back to what are the root causes of tech fascism or whatever you would like to call them.

And one of the big reasons for that is because as venture capital itself is diversified and it's moving into finance and it's moving into medicine and it's moving into land and it's moving into energy,

there are existing monopolies in every single part of those markets that they have to fight in order to get into them.

And they've openly talked about this.

So when they're entering these markets, they're going to war with existing monopolies in order to create their own monopolies.

And that's forced them to these really, like, sort of extreme and perverse strategies, like, we're going to kill the U.S.

government.

Like...

god and they've been really successful at that so they work hard everyone's like they're lazy they don't do anything they're not smart blah blah i'm like mark andreessen works like the devil he does not take a day off he is not taking unfortunately

Yes, absolutely.

So, you know, I think what we've talked about so far is really looking at like kind of root causes, dynamics, new markets they're going into.

And

the next sort of stage of thinking about that is like what demands and what global program and strategy comes out of sort of their needs for capital, for returns, for expansion, for fighting monopolies, for tax evasion, everything like that.

And what they've come up with and what we can already see is really like a global playbook for how they're going to do that.
