Yeah, I mean, just just jumping off the 1789 thing. I mean, it is fascinating that we just have these situations and where, you know, people with connections to the administration or with the ability to sway the president are just sort of really have their pockets. They're saying, hey, you know, come on through if you want to butter up to me, you know, donate to my VC fund.

The Bloomberg article is interesting. Basically, I guess the pitch is that this is kind of the anti-ESG, this is the anti-woke capital situation. But I think in practice, as you said, it's interesting that there are companies having these massive funding rounds, and then also Don Jr. is coming. In terms of the crypto stuff... I follow like crypto world relatively closely.

I think it's been interesting that in some ways it seems like the main, like real, like real heavy bag holders, as they say, are getting frustrated that, that Trump seems to have been like captured by what you might call shit coins. Like when he announced the Bitcoin reserve or the crypto reserve and he said, look, we're going to have Bitcoin and we're going to have ADA and soul and Luna.

And then Trump came and set up a way bigger table to do his own three card Monty. But he's doing it a lot clumsier. So people are like, wait a minute, I can see this is a con. You know, they're like, hey, cut it out, Trump.
