Hi, everyone. Your host here, Josemarie Masaydu. And today, I have a really exciting panel on CryptoXai, a very controversial sector. And we're gonna go into it on which areas are most interesting and also which areas are least interesting. Trying to get a bit of make it a bit spicy because I think panels can be quite boring, so we're gonna try and make this a bit of a debate.

You could all introduce yourselves and and and your
