After that, I started to see a coin called Bitcoin, and I'm like, "What is this coin?" I did a little backend, and I saw it had a lot of negative connotation, so I strayed away from it.
Jouell WrightGUEST

Alia was my program director when I was in San Francisco.

Like this is about to be privatized into something great.
Adam DraperGUEST
But the thing I said that made this limited partner say that's pretty crazy is I believe that there's going to be a movement of new governments.
PeterHOST
And this opens up a whole bunch of new solutions for any Kadana project.
PeterHOST
Now, I did look into this when I was at Draper University.

They mentioned, oh, you could use Privy, you can use Fireblocks and some of these enterprise solutions for what you're building.
PeterHOST
It would be a really good solution.
