I think the strategic Bitcoin reserves, they are important in that it goes and shows a wide acceptance that Bitcoin is a legitimate thing and the tech legitimately works.

You know, there's two sides to this. One is legitimate in the sense as we're going to allow it to be a thing.

We value it. We recognize why other people value it.

And then the other part of it being we recognize that the technology actually works well enough.

It's going to keep working in maybe another 10 years.

Now, of course, I might be sort of personal, give you five reasons why, well, maybe it's not going to work so well in 30 years.

But it's certainly not so busted that it's likely to fail in five, 10 years.

Now, a counterexample of that is imagine you had created Bitcoin back in the 90s, when we were very early into cryptography.
