    What are your thoughts on the future of digital assets and even Ripple in particular? Well, Ripple, I think Ripple is, you know, it was on CNBC's disruptor list again. I think it was one of the only crypto companies that do it. I think they've been, I've said before, now I've met Brad Garlinghouse since then, right? I've never been on their payroll, by the way. Never gotten paid or anything like that, but a really nice guy. And I've said it, I think he's probably the best CEO in crypto. Even if you don't like XRP, even if you don't like Ripple, you got to give him his props to navigate the SEC. He got personally sued, him and Chris Larson. I mean, you got to imagine, man, imagine that you got teenage kids, you know, and you got to sit down to your son or your daughter and be like, listen, the United States government is suing dad. All right. That can't be a comfortable kind of. And yes, Brad Garnley House, pretty wealthy. There's no doubt about it. So is Chris Larson, right? We're talking about billionaires. But I don't care if you're a billionaire or not. When the United States government is coming after you, that's intimidating. I don't care who you are.
