Do you think that, first of all, do you think that Liquid would ever, you know, onboard or switch to zero knowledge for KYC?
7:19
This is really interesting because zero knowledge proofs were actually my introduction into crypto.
7:24
This is actually a topic very near and dear to my heart.
7:26
Zero knowledge proofs could absolutely be used to do KYC without requiring any data to be stored.
7:33
That's kind of the idea.
7:34
And then you can imagine a world in which you kind of just show a barcode on your ID, and that's the only thing being sent in.
7:42
And if that barcode is stolen by someone, they don't know what to do with it, right? They can't go impersonate you.

So when you look at that, is the Asian economy even real yet? Or is it crypto's time to shine or not? I mean, this seems like something that is a great opportunity for crypto to seize, but if it doesn't, could this be done without crypto in the future?

So when you look at some of the big wins, especially when it comes to AI calls since the launch, has there been anything that sticks out for you guys?
2:43
Absolutely.
2:44
There's one yesterday that really, really sticks out, so I'm going to go talk about that.
2:48
One of our users, itsjcmerlo, used Coinvest, connected it to his system, and made 20% returns yesterday trading crypto.
2:57
He chose some very obscure crypto names.
2:59
One of them was Seeker, and I didn't recognize the other ones.
3:02
He chose one crypto that went up 100%, and it was all thanks to him.

Where do you think that plays out?
1:03
What does this mean for companies like yourselves and just the general markets? This is
1:08
among the best news we could have ever hoped for.
1:11
One of Liquid's platforms lets you trade perpetual futures.
1:14
Historically, people have always sort of viewed this with an element of suspicion and disdain.
1:20
And I think that's really unfortunate because perpetual futures are potentially the greatest instrument ever made.
1:26
They let anyone get exposure to any asset in the world.
1:29
A farmer in India who wants to get exposure to the US stock market, you can't do that normally, but you can with perpetual futures.
5:01
What's the difference between what that can offer and what this could offer?
