mobilizes, right?

And I think the crypto community has been very effective with this in the media and in Washington.

And I think a big part of it was from the very beginning, a retail investor could hold crypto.

And it was actually like retail first in a sense, because it was first the retail that came in, then the institutional.

But with AI, you have this thing where like, it's hugely disruptive.

People are scared.

They're worried it's gonna take their job or it's gonna put a data center in their neighborhood.

And they don't own any of it.

They can't participate.

Yeah.

None of the companies that are really leading it, I mean, except for the giant ones that were big already, are available for people to invest.

So that's kind of been my latest crusade.

How can we like crack that open so that...

everyone can have access.

And can we do that at earlier and earlier stages?

Like I think the first round of financing that a company does, your seed round and your series A should have a big retail component.

And we're going to make that happen.

And I think if we succeed, there's going to be more entrepreneurship in this country.

The big thing for me is making sure the gains don't just accrue to a small group of people with the access or the deal flow.

So if we can accomplish that through other means, that's the thing I care more about.
