How would you explain what you do and what Animoca Brands is? to somebody who is a non-crypto native person.
8:48
Yes, this is, you know, an interesting question, you know, because what we do has been, you know, evolving, you know, like the Web3 market as well.
8:58
You know, for a starter, right, as a dinner party for someone who don't understand Web3 at all, I would say I invest in and help build the next generation of internet, right, where users are actual owners instead of just the products, right? Because, you know, I think the essence of Web3 world is you know, the main difference is we give back value to the users, right, in Web3, rather than just extracting content and value from Web2, right? A lot of this data in the past has been hosted and captured by these Web2, you know, McAttack companies, right? And, you know, while they seem to be paying, you know, sharing a bit of the profit with the content generators, with the KOLs and so on, you know, a majority of the value is still in these hands, right? And the data as well, right? In these hands of these mega tech giants.
9:54
I think Web3 is really there to disrupt this business model.
9:59
And, you know, the generator of this content, you know, the owner of this data actually should be given back, you know, the ownership.
10:10
and the value that's generated using the data themselves, right? So, I think this is the essence of, you know, our company and, you know, I think for the Web3 space in general, you know, and, you know, for Animal Car ourselves, you know, we have been evolving through the space, you know, we have, started with a lot of consumer apps, you know, NFTs, metaverse, gaming.
10:33
But for the last few years, we have also reinvented ourselves, right? Now, you know, actually recently we released a new kind of vision where, you know, we, you know, target to reimagine future economies and we position ourselves to build, invest, and accelerate the most impactful technologies and ecosystems, right, and turn participants into stakeholders.

Are these companies still interested in tokenizing their brands or like what's the vibe with at the moment with these guys that you have been working with, with these partnerships?
