And if you will get back to this and you will learn the things that you don't know, and some of those things you don't even know that you need to know.

What are the things that are coming that are going to be of significance that you need to learn, that you need to understand?

But as a, as a company, we understood blockchain technology, the importance of an NFT, and we packaged up 100 NFTs that we gave away. We did a book launch as part of this because I believe that blockchain is going to impact every one of you in a major way. I think the future of every industry is going to be hanging on blockchain technology, especially if you're in a transactional industry.
