So, so you mentioned that when you read the bitcoin way paper, you actually understood it, is tat just because you understood the technical details behind it. Cause when i first read it, i like, know what's going on, osid. I don't know what this is trying to tell me. But people were so enthusiastic, i was nka, in needtod, just keep reading this until i understand it. But so yet was it? Was it that, because you'r technical background, year, ok, i understand this, and here's omething really powerful here. And were you attracted to it from like, a standpoint of, ok, down with the banks, like, e no, the dollars worthless, like, this is what we need. Or was it more like the, the technical, kind of, like beauty of of like this solving byzantine general, generals problem?

Yes, so i would say i definitely didn't understand it technically when i first read it. I more understood it, i'm like, the philosophical, like, more idealistic level a. I'm like, definitely, by no means likea network, like genius or anything. And so a lot of that stuff took a lot more time and research to really be able to understand. And even now, i wouldn't, i definely wouldn't call myself an expert on kind of more really intense technological side of block chains. A, i generally stick to the solidity side of things. But yes, i would say mostly that. And then for me, kind of, like, i think wit the same thing of why i thought it was exciting. I think at first it was mostly around kind of just like my general feelings towards money and the economy and and to me, it made a lot of sense. I was deeply in student debt at the time, andlike the idea that i could be getting in early to something that could potentially go up a lot if people actually adopted it and used it, was exciting to me as someone o didn't have very much money. And then at the same time, like, i very, very quickly moved from being interested in bit coin to being interested in a theoryam because of the programm ability of it. I i' i'm probably not the best developer ever, not even probably i'm not. I just, i really like experimenting and building things, and then like just messing around with diferent ideas. And the ability tbeable to do that on a theorum was just so easy, comparatively, that it was just like really, really addicting for me to make some random, small dap that no one cared about, but i thought it was really fun. And i had a lot of fun, just, like, on random week ends doing stuff like that. That's
