Maher AyariGUEST
this is where I, I feel like, uh, this is where I feel like Genius kind of opened the floodgates from a institutional engagement.

Maher AyariGUEST
But I think this is where clarity actually does bring some clarity [chuckles] into the situation, where it, it, it's based on usage and less about holding.

Maher AyariGUEST
And, and if we're promoting the usage of digital assets, which is ultimately what we want to do, right? I mean, the, the three of us and everybody that's b- ever been on the show and every, every one of us that works in the industry, we'd love to think of a world where you could walk into a gas station or a bodega somewhere and then just pay with a digital asset and then there-- And, and by the way, you had no concept of digital asset but just payments are happening and the things are just moving and then, and then you're getting rewarded for this the same way that when I use my Amex card.

Maher AyariGUEST
I, I use it because even though the, the merchant hates me for [chuckles] using it, I get my Sky points, right? And that's what's driving my behavior from that perspective.
