Yeah, absolutely.

Fir-first of all, I really think that, you know, Bitcoin is this kind of huge revolution.

We're probably gonna spend a lot of time talking about that.

Um, but, but in a way, when it happened, people didn't really understand what it's doing.

It actually took quite a few years for the research community and for everybody to understand that this is solving kind of a, a very hard academic problem.

Once it was clear that that is the problem that Bitcoin solves, there was this effort to try to connect that to this classical work.

A lot of latency just means whatever you ask the blockchain to do, like do a transfer or whatever, you want it to happen ideally close to instantaneously, right? That would be the latency, right?
