wallet thing is really smart because I think that wallets and not being able to access a wallet or being confused about how do you get a wallet, I think is one of the main things that make people not wanna get involved with crypto.

I mean, even last week, speaking of East Denver, I went to a privy event. And when you showed up, you had, like, your ticket to the event, but then they also had you sign up for a wallet. And literally signing up for the wallet involved just giving my email. Crazy concept for crypto companies. You know, like, it just abstracts away from everything, and now all of a sudden I have this wallet, and it was so easy. And then they did, like, kind of like a mock thing where, like, I bought, quote, unquote, a hat with them, and and all I had to do was show them my wallet, and then they sent me some funds, and then I bought the hat. And now I have this, like, cute little beanie hat. Right? But it goes back to, like, the whole point of, like, so much of crypto's user experience and user interfaces have been so unnecessarily
