So they're popular with...

I mean, there is a lot of crossover between the polymarket crowd and the meme coin crowd.

It's a lot of like hyper online young men, I would say, that dominate these markets.

They're quite reactionary.

A lot of the meme coins are like offensive, ridiculous.

They're tied to news events.

But yeah, it hasn't gone away.

The doge was sort of the beginning.

And I think it's just becoming more and more pervasive.

Well, I think it's like, I think of influencers as like effectively power users of the internet.

And I think a lot of things like the forces that they are subject to or the behavior that they engage in eventually trickles down to average users and is distributed across sort of the wider internet user base.

And I think that's kind of

how it's going with this stuff.

Because I mean, you look at Logan Paul, who used to run around lassoing women or doing ridiculous, like the stunt era of YouTube was very similar.

You might see someone pouring broth on their head in the middle of a supermarket for a YouTube stunt.

But as Kyle mentioned earlier, previously, you had to amass the audience and you had to monetize that.

It wasn't like you could monetize, like the actual event itself wasn't being monetized.

And now I think that that's different.

Again, it's sort of, it's created this decentralized marketplace that is

warping everything we see the minute we step outside.
