Herman, thank you for joining us today. I'm interested because I feel like in crypto and in blockchain investing, we go through all these waves of DeFi Summer and NFTs and not that I'm disenchanted with the meme cycle, but the current focus of some of the deep crypto traders is less than interesting.
