The State of Crypto
Eric
Tom, I think a cool place to start would be separating public from private investing. You've had a long career in crypto. You've seen all the different sides. And it feels like we go through these phases. Right now, it feels like everyone is focused on public markets and private markets seem dead, maybe you'll tell me otherwise. But tell me where we are in the crypto cycle and the differences you see on the public and private side.
