pre-mine era, we decided again, we were not ready.

And again, I think that it's taken us quite a lot of time to really think about what is the right way to take this to market.

And again, time will tell if being patient and really learning from what the industry have done well and not so well, you know, there are advantages to, you know, coming last.

There's also disadvantages and we can, you know, explore both.

Yeah, listen, I think the reason why I like it is because it's a very honest post.

And I think that that's something that this industry, I wish was more focused on, is really focused on.

Listen, we're trying to solve a problem.

This is the problem.

This technology is extremely unique.

I think it has very different applications that can be used.

We as humans like to put frameworks because it's easy for us to grasp concepts.

Right.

So we created these terms of decentralized and permissionless and open and all of these terms, which are good terms because we need to find frameworks how to kind of discuss different topics.

But clearly there's a lot of shades of gray in the world of openness, decentralization, you know, censorship resistance, like all of these things.

And the reason why I like Vitalik's post, it is very honest around what is the North Star, Ryan, as you say, of Ethereum, which is very noble.

I actually see a lot of merits in it.

And it actually explains, at least as a reader, what is Vitalik trying to solve?

And I don't know if Vitalik controls the theorem.

I don't think he does.

But at the end of the day, he is the creator and as a result, create good guidance.
