Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

But if anything, I think we're also just an interesting instrument to trade, right?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

It's just like all sorts of super interesting environment.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

But I feel like we're going to get this resolved one way or another, you know, closer to the end of the month.
