You've had these issues before where you you have brand unsafe content matched with, you know, advertisers that are paying monetization. And I think it's kind of the same thing. It's like, how do you separate, you know, the stuff that's really grimy and and gross with stuff that's, like, kinda fun and frivolous and and should be, you know, fun for speculators, and and that's kind of what the economy is built for. But, it's in any of these ecosystems, if left unchecked, you're gonna have, you know, people that can do kind of, like, gross stuff with it. Hey,
everyone. This episode is brought to you by Uniswap Labs, who's launching the largest bug bounty program in the entire history of crypto. It's a $15,500,000 program.
