I think the other thing that's interesting is, um, whenever you go to Asia, you always remember like there's just people who just love tokens, you know, like it's just sometimes in the US there's this like, kind of it's like a, a, an off relationship, right? It's like, oh, we love tokens, we hate tokens, we love them.

You know, like, and I think that that mentality you can kind of tell is like, people, you know, last time I was in Asia and it was kind of more bearish. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, they'll be one more token eventually. And now it's definitely like, yeah, wait, it could be my token.
