And, you know, funny story.

I was driving in Canada in the snow while listening to your end of year recap.

And I have to say it meant to be because there was one point where you were talking about stocks.

And then you said, well, in the beginning of the year, we're going to talk.

And just before you said that, I was about to pause, stop the car.

and take a note to talk to you guys about that.

And then you said, oh, we're going to be talking to you about.

So I was like, that's perfect timing.

But we're not the parent company of Canton, but we'll talk about that in more detail.

But long story short, you know, I started my career at Citadel, then moved to DRW Trading, which owns Cumberland Mining.

And I was fortunate enough to help start their venture team at around 2012.

And my co-founder, Eric, helped start Cumberland at DRW.

And we started looking into this space very early on.

And, you know, we had a thesis very early on that everything will move on-chain.

And, you know, I think that to us, what it meant is that in order to move everything on-chain, you need to solve for privacy.

And this is already at around 2015, 16.

But reality, and this is our view, and, you know, time will tell if we took the right approach, was that to move financial services on chain, and we can talk about what we mean by that, is going to take time.

And it's not something that can happen overnight.

And it requires really careful thinking about what is the problem that you're trying to solve?

Who are you trying to solve it for?
