5:21What do you think about the transition from a chain-centric world to a more asset-centric world as we onboard more tokenized assets, as stablecoins grow?
11:13Couple side quests here. Have you used OpenClaw yet?
Okay. Yeah, a little bit. We both were in Hong Kong last week. I will say it was a little less sleepy than Denver. Denver, it seems like half you guys are asleep. I see somebody's literally got a blanket. Somebody literally has a blanket here. This is insane. I also don't know why they do this in like February in Denver. I feel like it's kind of an insane time to do a conference.
God, there's so many things we could do with it. Really, the first thing you do is you just load it up into a bathtub just for the photo op. No, what do we do with the money? We invest in crypto companies. We're a VC. Those of you who don't know, we're a VC firm and we raised $650 million and we're going to use it to invest into new startups. So, a lot of people in the space think that basically crypto's cooked. They think the industry is dead. They think that nobody wants anything anymore. And I'm here to tell you guys that's not true. I've been in this industry for almost 10 years now. I've never seen so much of a gap between the institutional sentiment and the retail sentiment. Institutions are jazzed. They are so excited about what's going on. They love stablecoins and payments and blockchains and tokenization and DeFi. They think it's all super cool. And retail is like it's all over and it's never coming back. So I remember when we posted on Twitter that hey, we raised this new fund. A bunch of people on Twitter were like wait, how? Who gave you money? And the answer is that institutions gave us money. Institutions like crypto. They still like it.
