There's going to be a a time and a place where it comes where now companies are gonna be valued based on how much revenue they generate. What is the underlying value they provide? What is their utility? How can they stay alive? Right now, we're looking at l ones, for example, that have large market caps. But when you look at how much value they generate, how much revenue they generate as a foundation or as a network as a whole, it's none or it's very little. And that the market, I think, is going to start maturing. The investors are gonna start maturing. The institutional players, obviously, w

How are we feeling with the energy level? Thank you for humoring me. Alright, guys. We're gonna be talking about the next evolution in banking here, and we've got a lot of ground to cover in a relatively short period of time. So I wanna kick it over to you first, Yves.
