Because you can figure out which, you know,

which person had connections to those other Bitcoin addresses or uses those times and so on.

Yeah.

The first thing we did back in October last year was launch an open public blockchain, which is just as global and open as Bitcoin.

It's a fork of the software.

We copied the Bitcoin software and added our cryptographic improvements.

But it's not a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain.

It's a separate independent blockchain, Zcash blockchain.

And the Zcash blockchain began life with its first block last October of 2016.

And that has been a huge success and is growing rapidly around the world.

One way to quantify it is that the coins, because there's a limited number of Zcash coins, just like there's a limited number of Bitcoins.

Those Zcash coins are trading for about $200 apiece on about 15 or 20 different markets in different countries around the world.

And every day there's about $20 million worth of coins transacted, which puts it in the top tier of...

of this kind of open currency being transacted.

Yes, that's correct.

And there's also a sort of scope of how many – I think an important part of my strategy with the open Zcash currency is to spread it widely to more and more countries and more and more different kinds of markets and different kinds of users.

And so I'm really happy that there are a lot of people in China, for example, who buy and sell Zcash tokens.

But not only there.

There are a lot of – How many?

Oh.
