13) Why is BTC worth $250b or whatever, and TACO only $600k? Because, many years ago, we all agreed that BTC was the real deal, and so it is. Why did Google outperform Yahoo so much over the last decades? Because, as it turns out, it fucking delivered.

15) And when $SRM first started up, I was surprised how much people wanted it. I guess they believed in me more than I did. And when that happened I remembered FTX, and FTT, and the same people believing in us more than we did. I guess they were right back then.

19) Anyway, maybe I'm wrong; you never know for sure. But I guess what I have to say to that is: sure, get short; I can facilitate that. Let's check in a few months, and see who made money. And if you _wouldn't_ do that: do you wanna make money or do you wanna be right?

21) Anyway, I'd like to give a huge thanks to everyone who believed in me, and us, and crypto, and DeFi, and what we can accomplish together. I've learned a lot from you all.
