• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the TikTok bid. This of course is also going to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: play out into a couple of other big companies, you know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and that's Adera and XRP and Ripple. All that's gonna
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: be broken down today. My name is Paul Berret. Welcome
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: back in the tech path. Let's go into it. I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: do want to thank our sponsor, that's Coinbase. Coinbase is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a great place for you guys to get started in
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: with the markets as they are right now. Many people
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: are saying this might be the bottom. If it is,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: then here is your entry point. If you're brand new
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to crypto, start with Coinbase. Just go over and use
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: our link down below. You're going to get a little
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bit of a reward over there, which is buy fifty
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and earn fifty to get started. So check it out
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and get rolling other things that are happening. I want
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to go to this first clip here, and this is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: President Trump talking about this whole TikTok situation.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You're rich, Sure you open to deals with these countries
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: if they're calling you.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: It depends if somebody said that we're going to give
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: you something that's so phenomenal as long as say, giving
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: us something that's bid. For instance, with TikTok as an example,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: we have a situation with TikTok where China will probably say,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: will approve a deal, but will you do something on
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the tagraf The tariffs give us great power to negotiate.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Always have I've.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Used it very well.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe Trump is setting his crosshairs on a negotiation path
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with the Chinese and by edance going forward with all
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that being said, here, of course, is Catherine Wu coming
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in right here. She says, if the TikTok deal is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be divested, then it and then live in a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: meaningful way, it must be brought on chain es Domains
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: will be pledging our support behind Project Liberty and Alexis
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ohani's bid for TikTok. So that clearly starts to line
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: up what's happening with the Ethereum Foundation how this might
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: play into going forward on this bid. Now, if you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: look at some of the polymarket chances out here, who
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: will acquire You've got Oracle still leading the way.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But remember Oracle is going to.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: End up hosting this anyway, because that is the American
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: tech stack that is required by Congress to be able
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to get this deal done, which is the biggest issue.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Walmart jumped up a little bit fourteen person Amazon, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: remember Amazon also kind of got negated by President Trump
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: saying that, you know, that's probably not going to work.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: There's many reasons why many people would look at antitrust,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there's other things.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But Larry Allison, of.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Course, the CEO of Oracle, you could stack that in there,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and then you got Microsoft, and further on down Alexis o'hannigan,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: who is in on the deal with Frank McCourt and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: along with others down there, you've got mister Beast in there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So you stack those up and things start looking pretty
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: good for Project Liberty. As we get into other bidders
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that could be coming forward, and we're going to talk
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: about ADERA and XRP or Ripple in a second, playing
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: into this as well.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Let me go over to this clip right here. This
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: is Kevin O'Leary.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: But Bloomberg has learned that the deal that is potentially
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: being taken most seriously by the Trump administration is a
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: group that involves Oracle, Blackstone and recent Horrowitz byteedance under
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: the terms of this potential deal would retain control of
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: those all important algorithms, and that is a potential sticking
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: point because the National Security law bars China or byte
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Dance from controlling those algorithms.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: So the interpretation of what the law says is key.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: Moving over that is five thousand dollars a day per
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: user penalty. There is no company in the S and
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: P five hundred that could last more than eleven days
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: without being bankrupt with that penalty. We've got to work
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: with Oracle. They got the servers right now. There's enough
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: elements in place, enough people interested, a syndicate large enough
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: to work this out. Whatever it takes will figure it out.
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: We just have to find out what she wants to do.
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: And Trump knows that and he's doing everything he can
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: to get him to the table right now.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: All of this could play into an interesting negotiation between
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the two countries, meaning Trump and obviously China and Reeson.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Horowitz was mentioned here and Reeson of course, they're the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: largest crypto fund ever. They're launching a fund now, four
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: point five billion. Don't forget this guy's These guys have
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: been very, very pro crypto blockchain. They were in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Web three space early on, they have continued to kind
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of push the needle forward. And if you look at
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: just where Project Liberty is strategically, this of course is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to Micah Tilleman, and I want to showcase something right here,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: zoom in. Right here is the leading diplomat technologists. He's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: obviously coming in and hails from Andresen Horowitz, but he
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: is overseeing Project Liberty's five hundred million dollar efforts to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: build a better Internet and digital ecosystem. They are talking
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: about the future of decentralized social media, and that of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: course could be led by TikTok, which would really change
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: things up quite a bit. Trump's crypto portfolios just don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: forget that he is mostly based on the Ethereum blockchain.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Don't forget Eric Trump. He put this out not too
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: long ago. I'm always wondering.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they just say things out loud, you know, And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: this was back in feb Granted, you'd be down on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: eth right now.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But if you're looking at long term.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Holding, which is what most of these people are doing,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: maybe there is something brewing in the background. China has
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: leverage now potentially for a sweet deal. And here's why.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I think the Chinese side that will demand a big
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: concession from Trump, because Trump has made it very clear
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: since January that he wants to be the savior of TikTok.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: If I were in Beijing, although his truths, I will
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: leverage that, I will say, get rid of a big
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: chunk of the tariff that you just impost on us.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You just announced that yesterday. That could be a very
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: difficult negotiation between the two sides and take a long
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: time to resolve, And fundamentally, our assessment is that it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: unlikely to produce favorable outcome for either side. It's likely
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to drag along the TikTok negotiation along with it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Always roll out with your strongest deal in the front,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: because you're willing to take less. That's a clear clarity
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in most negotiations. And maybe that is the model in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: which Trump is negotiating with the Chinese. A thirty five
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: percent tariff very strong. That would be, like I said,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: debilitating to China because of the economy here in the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: United States has been such.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: A huge market.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: If they offset that and get back in on this,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the negotiation I think gets to the table and TikTok
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: gets a deal done. And this is where will get
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: very interesting. Frank McCourt talks about this because this is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: very intriguing when you look at the Chinese trying to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: still maintain certain clause on TikTok.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: Deadline is rapidly approaching. Oracle was in for a while,
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: but Amazon in the past couple of days reportedly, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: now at Lovin. You can add the founder of OnlyFans,
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: Tim Stokely to that list. Apparently he wants in here.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: And Charlie Gasperino has gotten sources to tell him this
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: that Bite Dance would receive a nineteen point nine percent stake.
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: That is not what the law passed by Congress allows.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Am I correct? Well, that's correct.
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: I think the nineteen point nine percent equity interest is
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: is less important than the issue of the algorithm in
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: their continued control and access to that algorithm. There are
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: huge finds here in this legislation that anybody who doesn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: live up to the spirit and the letter of that
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: law is exposing themselves to.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's going to be able to withstand that. Now
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you look at all of that happening. Now let's step
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: over into something else and you look at the lawfare
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that is happening within social media. This, of course, is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the EU could now find Elon Musk almost one billion
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: over illicit content and disinformation.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: This is going head to.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Head at some of the biggest social media companies out there,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and this is why everybody needs to understand decentralized social.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Media is the only solution.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That is why this TikTok deal is so important and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: possibly important for Ethereum, for Polka Dot. And of course
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: now you have to throw in a little bit of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a plot twist because you have Hadera and also so
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Ripple coming to the table.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Here's a clip. Take a look.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: This is the guy who created OnlyFans. His brand new
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: platform is called Zoop.
• 8:08
  Speaker 10: Hold on, did I just read that right? The OnlyFans
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: guy is trying to buy TikTok.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Zoop is where you can collect officially licensed digital trading
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: cards and connect with your favorite celebrities and creators.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: They're using Kadera, hashgref or h bart at the backbone
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: for all of this, so fast transactions, real scalability.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: But they have just secured fifteen million dollars in backing
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: and formalized a partnership with ready Player Meet.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: All right, so fifteen million.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I understand, guys, that's pettons compared to what we're talking
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: about in billions around a potential acquisition. Point being is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that it's showing the potential of an opportunity of decentralized
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: social media really happening. And I think a lot of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: these companies, including OnlyFans and many others that are creator led,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: understand that at some point we could see more lawfair
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: coming around the world, especially on social life. I think
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that is the point that they're trying to get at.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: When you remember back when Josh Holly was grilling the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Byedance CEO, We've played this clip a couple of times,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: but I want to frame this up of why the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: US was doing this.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: According to leaked audio, for more than eighty internal TikTok meetings,
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: China based employees of your company have repeatedly accessed non
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: public data of United States citizens, tracked journalists improperly gaining
• 9:26
  Speaker 11: access to their IP addresses user data in an attempt
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: to identify whether they're writing negative stories about you.
• 9:33
  Speaker 12: TikTok is used by one hundred and seventy million Americans.
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: I know when every single one of those Americans are
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: in danger from the fact that you track their keystrokes,
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: you track their location data, and we know that all
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: of that information can be accessed by Chinese employees. The
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: editor in chief is a Communist Party secretary. Why should
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: you not be banned in this country?
• 9:55
  Speaker 12: Sanata? That is not accurate.
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: It is one hundred percent accurate. Do you deny Americans
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: data has been accessed by byte edance employees in China.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: We built the project that cost US billions of dollars
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: to stop that, and we have made a lot of progress.
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: And it hasn't been stopped. Even now, biteedance workers, without
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: going through official channels, have access to the private information
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: of American citizens, including their birthday, their IP address, and more.
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: That's now, Senator. As we know, the media doesn't always
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: get it right.
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: We have what we have. The Chinese Communist Party does.
• 10:27
  Speaker 12: I'm not saying that, and I'm proud of the book
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: that the two thousand employees are doing to protect the data.
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: But it's not it's not protected. That's the problem is
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: to to you. It's not protected at all. And Heaven knows,
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: I've got problems with everybody here, but your app unlike
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: any of those, is subject to the control and inspection
• 10:43
  Speaker 11: of a foreign hostile government. Your app ought to be
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: banned in the United States of America for the security
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: of this country. Thank mis Chairman.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: That was a pretty railed uh speech there and grilling
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: by of course Josh Hawley, and he has been i
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: would say, the leading propos of getting this banned in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the United States. Obviously, now the law is in, it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is going to be banned. We are only going to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: see a transition to a new American owner with an
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: American Textack. That's the only way this turns out. Now,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: all that being said, you got to think about all
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the other social media platforms because control has already been
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: an issue. We've already seen this in past elections playing
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: into this. Here's a clip with Vitalic talking about Mark
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Zuckerberg take.
• 11:25
  Speaker 13: A look in the future, like that's literally going to
• 11:28
  Speaker 13: involve our thoughts, like, no, you know, I'm sorry, but
• 11:31
  Speaker 13: like Mark Zuckerberg, you're not reading my mind, right, but
• 11:34
  Speaker 13: the ads are going to be so targeted, amazing, amazing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: The point being is that any whether you are dealing
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: with traditional social media today, the likelihood of impedance from
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a government and or other entities is real what we're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: seeing with TikTok, which is why it is banned. And
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this is where it gets interesting because now you could
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: even look at something like ky see take a look
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: at this clip.
• 12:00
  Speaker 13: My identity is like a very big space and it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 13: a very important space.
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: But like I definitely don't believe in like koyc in
• 12:06
  Speaker 13: the world, right, I mean, even if you put aside
• 12:09
  Speaker 13: the entire arguments of like what if you know your
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: governments can't be trusted, even if you put that aside, right,
• 12:15
  Speaker 13: what happens is that a huge number of records of
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: drivers' licenses in the US got hacked this year. Data
• 12:22
  Speaker 13: that was being wiretapped, like collected by the NSA got
• 12:26
  Speaker 13: hacked by like apparently by China grid job NSA keeping
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: Americans safe.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: All right, let me go to a tweet here by
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: lens protocol. You guys have heard us talk about them before.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: If you want to go back and do some research
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: on it, search farcast or on our channel, you'll get
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a full rundown on this. But the point is this
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: happened today. Remember this is on eth ethereum. The Etherem
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Foundation I think has put some pressure into this to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: where that it's like, hey, we got to show that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this works, that this can work within a technology stack,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and Len's protocol is a good example of this. That's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: why I think we saw this move going very quickly. Here,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of course, is Parody Technology is talking about ethere im
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: patable smart contracts on polka Dot.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: This is coming later this year, so stage three Q
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: three smart contracts will launch on polka Dot. Again.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That will be another priority I think of making all
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of this come together for Frank McCourt and Project Liberty.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: All right, so here's a tweet on how far caster
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: users are getting air drops and if you look further
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: down you'll kind of see the interaction.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Let me zoom on it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That's what it could look like inside of TikTok. This
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is the whole point of the opportunity that is going
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: forward here of decentralized social creators. Also, even users will
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: have a completely new way of owning your own data,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: having the opportunity to earn on your efforts in terms
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of content. This is a huge time in social media
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and I think blockchain is going to be right at
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the center of it. Let me jump over to this tweet.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: This is me we and what's interesting here is the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: fact that me we A is using a promotion here
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: basically two hundred USDC for them to onboard. And that's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that could happen even with TikTok
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: under these new parameters of this new text act, this
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: new technology in blockchain for decentralized social media that could
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: migrate a lot of people from both Meta obviously Twitter.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: This could change a huge process in how the network
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: effect could really start to grow, because many people are
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: worried about that in terms of growth to the next phase.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Just as a reminder, Avalanche is tied into me we
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: If you look at avas. We just did a video
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: on this the other day. Avalanche is now up considerably
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the stable coin opportunity and this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of course they just leaped over Solana, and again this
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is because of what we're starting to see. Avalanche is
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: also part of this. So all the blockchains definitely playing
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in unison here, I think for the next generation Internet.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Now here's Tim Sweeney. He kind of hits on this
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: right here. Let them learn how it's thinks. Apple and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Google impose their own thirty percent tariffs on all app
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: makers worldwide, including American developers, et cetera. And they're talking
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: about Apple and Google should get no tariff relief unless
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they unblock competing app stores and payment professors. Of course,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: we had some statements on that, you know, they would
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: only pass on tariff to consumers because that's how a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: monopoly works, all right. So with decentralized social media, the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: potential for apps inside of that is going to create
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a new bull run on how apps might be used.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And this is a technology in case you missed it,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it was called frames and they've reparented this now to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: many apps. So this is already working out there on
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Farcaster and this is a good example. I'll kind of
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: scan down in here to show you some of the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: apps that can be done within this. And this is
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: just the beginning of where this technology is going to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: be going. So imagine the death of the app store.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: All the apps that you need would live possibly inside
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a decentralized social media platform. This is the frame work
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in which all of that could happen. These mini apps
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: could end up being a whole new infrastructure for mobile
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: technology and use case for the Internet in the future.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of opportunity here for I think really kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of the next Internet to be built here, right, and
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen on the blockchain.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Guys, here's Metallic.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: He's gonna kind of hit on this because he's talking
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: about how social can go to the mainstream and maybe
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to the next level very quickly.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: Pulling market actually has been successful in twenty twenty four, right,
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: a huge number of just very mainstream people. They were
• 16:33
  Speaker 13: like sharing screenshots of poll markets just like casually on
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: Twitter everywhere. Even that are the type that like think
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: crypto's use was and just hate crypto and wanted to disappear.
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: Even they were sharing the screenshots right often, I think
• 16:45
  Speaker 13: without even realizing that there's a if they're am under
• 16:48
  Speaker 13: the hood, that's the kind of adoption that you want
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: things to get, all.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Right, So Metallic hit it right there on the head.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: This is the network effect. And if you look at
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the growth here, this is just a polymarket active Walllet's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: remember polymarket not even available technically available here in the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: United States. And this is the kind of growth that
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it has already underway. This is network adoption. This is
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you know, the idea of the Metcalf law, and that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is where we're going to start to see the acceleration
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: of technology upon itself in compounding. Remember polymarket was a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: very big part of the American political landscape just in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: this last election.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It will only.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Get more popular as it goes. So I think Metallic
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is right. Critical mass is available and a blockchain and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: possibly decentralized social media is right here within reach.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: This could happen quick.
• 17:41

• 17:44
