Not that you can't make money doing that, but that's just... I like the...
the efficiency of pure digital businesses, it would probably, for me, be in an area where I already have deep insight.
That would be probably video gaming.
And if not video gaming, then something in the crypto space, simply because I have a lot of insight into those markets.
I would focus on a product or a service that has a global impact

That last one is extremely high bar, very difficult.
It's almost never the case that the first mover wins.

I tend to like things that are entertainment versus let's say that are strictly there for utility.
