Q How do you know which protocol? And I think this is important because we all heard about Bitcoin, but as you mentioned, there's Ethereum, and apparently there's like 15 more of this new, new ones this month. How do you know which ones matter? And, and how did it affect what you're trying to do?
A Yeah, I mean, this is what I spend all of my time doing. So we think a lot about basically technologies that are enhancing what these protocols are capable of. Ethereum is a great example. Bitcoin has a kind of programming language that allows you to interact with the protocol. It's called a scripting language. And Bitcoin scripting language is really limited. It was designed this way intentionally so that people couldn't kind of screw up the protocol in the early days. Um, now the creator of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, and the great team behind him has created a programming language that is Turing complete. What Turing completeness means is you can basically build anything. So any, uh, computer science language that is Turing complete can build anything that any other Turing complete language can build.
