I think Robinhood feels very strongly that everyone should be an owner.
We think ownership is important.
Juxtaposing my time in in America with Bulgaria, where, you know, when I was born, it was kind of the swan song of the communist era and nobody owned anything.
Right.
It was everyone lived in these.
large Soviet era apartment buildings that all looked the same and nobody cared.
So they were all covered in graffiti.
And I was just back in Bulgaria a couple of weeks ago and things hadn't changed very much since my previous visit, which was more than 10 years ago.
And so I saw what a society without ownership looks like.
And it's a very fragile society.
So I think we have something very, very valuable here in the US that we can nurture.
And I think we have to evolve this idea of,
ownership from just real estate, which I look at as, okay, real estate is great as a part of a portfolio, but if that's the only thing, it's an illiquid asset with enormous transaction fees that you're kind of suggesting to people that they should take on a ton of leverage to purchase.
So, I mean, we want to broaden that.
Robinhood, of course, believes very strongly in ownership of stocks and different assets.
But we've extended that to privates.
With the Trump Accounts Initiative, we're extending it to age zero.
And I think...
a future that has broad-based ownership is essential in order for us to have a free, stable, and prosperous society.
I got to be careful with that question.
