00:00Welcome back to The Deep Dive. Today, we've got quite a stack of sources here, all focused
00:10on one of the, well, let's just say boldest predictions in crypto history.
00:15Bold is one word for it. Polarizing, maybe?
00:19Definitely polarizing. We're talking about the claim that XRP is, and I quote,
00:23destined to hit $10,000 per coin. Right. $10,000. It's a number that immediately gets attention,
00:32doesn't it? It really does. And we've got the prep notes, analyst takes, the key argument someone
00:37would use to build this case in a big discussion. Yeah, our mission today isn't really to, you know,
00:42predict the price ourselves. That's not what we do. No, definitely not. We're here to dissect the
00:46argument presented in these sources, like what's the logic? What utility are they claiming? What
00:50are the market cap implications? Basically, run the numbers and see what kind of, well,
00:54financial reality would need to exist for this target to make any sense.
00:58Exactly. And before we really dive into the multi-trillion dollar question that this price
01:04raises. Which is a huge question. Huge. But there was something really interesting tucked away in
01:09these prep notes we found. It's sort of meta, about how this kind of content even gets seen.
01:14Oh yeah, the call to action bit. That was fascinating. Right. The notes explicitly say,
01:19like step-by-step instructions, before we dive into whether XRP can really hit $10,000,
01:24make sure to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell. And they explain why. It says,
01:30it helps the channel grow, and it helps us keep bringing you the most important stories shaping the
01:35future of crypto. It's such a clear window into the mechanics, isn't it? How important that
01:40engagement, liking, subscribing, commenting actually is. Absolutely. It's the algorithm fuel.
01:45It's what helps content like this, you know, deeper analysis that takes time actually surface
01:51instead of just getting buried under like quick takes and hype. It lets us keep doing these deep
01:56dives for you, the listener, who actually wants to get into the weeds. So yeah, a little reminder
02:01there. Engagement really does matter if you value this kind of analysis. Well said. It's just part of
02:07the modern media landscape, I suppose. It is. Okay. So we've covered the mechanics of getting
02:12eyeballs on the content. Now let's get back to the mechanics of a frankly staggering financial
02:18valuation. Right. Let's unpack it. The mission. Analyze the core thesis for $10,000 XRP. Pit the
02:26utility arguments against, you know, the hard market realities. So the core claim stated simply
02:31in these notes, XRP is destined for $10K. Why? Long-term adoption and its core utility in
02:37global finance, cross-border payments, that kind of thing. Okay. So the thesis breakdown,
02:42the notes detail XRP's proposed role. It's meant to be a bridge asset. Think replacing or at least
02:47massively streamlining the old correspondent banking system. Which is notoriously slow and
02:52expensive. Right. So XRP would provide on-demand liquidity or ODL for banks. It gets integrated
02:57into settlement systems. It becomes the way value moves across borders almost instantly. That's the
03:02vision. And the key assumption driving the price prediction is. Is that this massive foundational
03:07utility, this integration into the plumbing of global finance, creates this huge, almost compulsory
03:13demand? Not just speculative, but necessity-driven demand. And the sources say this will massively
03:19boost demand. Okay. Necessity-driven demand. But here's where my calculator starts smoking.
03:24The math. Okay. Let's confront that head on. The sources note the circulating supply is around
03:2955 billion XRP right now. Give or take. 55 billion. So if one XRP is worth $10,000,
03:36you multiply those, that's a market capitalization of $550 trillion. Wow. Okay. 550. Trillion.
03:46Trillion. With a T. That number is just, it's hard to even conceptualize in today's terms. It is. And
03:52the notes acknowledge this. There's a whole section titled, Why It Matters, The Market Cap Implication,
03:56to put it in context. Like comparing it to other markets. Exactly. The entire global stock market.
04:01Maybe around $100 trillion, give or take market fluctuations. All the gold ever mined. Roughly $15 trillion
04:05market cap. So $550 trillion for XRP alone, it's not just becoming a big player. No, it's not just
04:11disrupting finance at that point. It means XRP would have to essentially absorb or represent the value of,
04:18well, almost everything else combined. It implies a complete redefinition of global asset valuation.
04:23So the prediction isn't just XRP goes up a lot. It requires global finance to fundamentally
04:29restructure itself, concentrating an absolutely enormous slice of global wealth into this one
04:36digital asset. That's a prerequisite. Precisely. And that prerequisite explains the huge divide we see.
04:42The maximalists, the true believers, they see this future as like almost inevitable. The tech is just
04:48that much better. So the value must consolidate there eventually. And the other side? The realists,
04:52or maybe the skeptics, they look at $550 trillion and just say, nope, mathematically impossible under
04:58any economic system we can realistically foresee. It breaks the current models. But the notes argue
05:03these kinds of extreme predictions, even if they sound like pure fantasy, actually play a role. They
05:08bring up Bitcoin's history. Yeah, that's a really important comparison they make. The $1 million
05:13Bitcoin predictions. People laughed at those for years. They did. Widely ridiculed. But the notes argue
05:19these huge, almost mythical targets are powerful narrative anchors. They give long-term holders
05:25something to cling to. They fuel community buzz. They keep people engaged through brutal bear markets.
05:31So the number itself, the $10,000, it might be what the notes call hopium.
05:35Right. Pure hope. But that hopium keeps XRP relevant, keeps it in the conversation, keeps attracting
05:41attention and potentially new users or developers. The prediction itself becomes a market force.
05:46Okay. That makes sense. And that focus on relevance and adoption leads straight into the next big
05:51section in these notes, the institutional and utility angle.
05:55Ah, yes. This is where, as you said, it gets really interesting because the argument shifts from just
05:59broad market sentiment to like concrete business use cases.
06:04Less hype, more function.
06:05Exactly. The core of the bullish argument here is Ripple's work, the partnerships they've built with
06:09hundreds of banks, payment providers, even exploring things with central banks.
06:13This, the notes argue, gives XRP a unique, real-world utility case.
06:19Something that separates it from, say, a meme coin or even some smart contract platforms that
06:25don't have that direct financial institution link.
06:27Precisely. If you're talking about institutions adopting this, the demand profile changes completely.
06:32It's not retail FOMO driving it.
06:34Right. It's a bank trying to solve a real expensive problem, moving money across borders efficiently.
06:40Exactly. Let's get into the mechanics they describe. Traditional international payments.
06:45They rely on Nostro Vostro accounts. Basically, banks have to park money, pre-funded liquidity,
06:51in accounts at other banks all over the world.
06:53Which ties up huge amounts of capital, right, just sitting there.
06:56Immense amounts, globally. Capital that's dead, earning nothing.
07:00XRP's on-demand liquidity, the ODL system, aims to fix that. XRP acts as a super short-term bridge asset.
07:06So Bank A wants to send dollars to Bank B in euros instead of using pre-funded accounts.
07:12Bank A converts dollars to XRP, zips the XRP across the ledger instantly, and Bank B immediately converts that XRP into euros.
07:20The whole process takes seconds.
07:22And the capital isn't tied up for days or weeks.
07:25Right. So the demand for XRP in this model isn't just about holding it. It's driven by the velocity of its use.
07:30The more transactions need that bridge, the more demand there is for XRP to be that bridge.
07:36It could potentially free up trillions in trapped capital globally.
07:40And that's the necessity-driven demand. A bank needs XRP right now to settle a payment.
07:45That's the idea.
07:46Yeah.
07:46It's potentially more stable, more predictable demand than, say, people speculating on price appreciation.
07:52That's the institutional hook.
07:54Banks become compelled users because it saves them money and frees up capital, not just optional traders.
08:00That's the dream underpinning the $10K thesis.
08:04Okay. Strong utility case.
08:05But utility doesn't just magically erase the laws of supply and demand, does it?
08:10Not at all. And this is where the notes bring in the major counterargument, the really big hurdle, the supply constraint.
08:15They both fit in the room.
08:16Definitely. Bitcoin's designed for scarcity, right?
08:18Yeah.
08:18Max supply of 21 million coins, finite, XRP.
08:22Total supply is 100 billion, 100 billion.
08:24That's a lot more zeros.
08:25It's a fundamentally different scale.
08:27And that sheer number makes extreme price targets like $10,000 incredibly difficult mathematically, even if demand is high.
08:35Yeah.
08:36There's just so much of it.
08:37And we need to talk about how that supply is managed, too.
08:39The escrow system Ripple uses, how does that play into this?
08:43Because not all 100 billion are circulating right now.
08:45Correct.
08:45We have about 55 billion circulating.
08:48The remaining amount, roughly 45 billion, is held by Ripple in cryptographically secured escrows.
08:54And they release some periodically.
08:56Yeah.
08:56The system is set up to release up to 1 billion XRP per month.
09:00Often, Ripple doesn't use all of it for their programs or sales, and the unused portion gets locked back up in a new escrow at the end of the queue.
09:07So it controls the immediate floodgates, prevents a massive dump onto the market.
09:11It does control immediate supply pressure.
09:12Yeah.
09:13But long term, that $10,000 valuation, or the $550 trillion market cap, eventually has to reckon with the potential for that full 100 billion supply to enter circulation.
09:24Or you have to assume a huge chunk stays locked forever or gets burned somehow.
09:29So if the full 100 billion did circulate at $10,
09:32then the market cap jumps to $1,000 trillion, $1 quadrillion, a number that's, well, purely theoretical at this point.
09:40So the conflict is stark.
09:42Can this utility, this institutional adoption, grow fast enough and big enough to actually absorb all that potential supply pouring onto the market over time?
09:51That's the absolute core tension.
09:53Yes.
09:53And to try and measure if that absorption is even feasible, the analysts in these notes suggest a specific benchmark, comparing XRP's potential market cap to the volume handled by SWIFT.
10:05Right.
10:05The SWIFT comparison.
10:06SWIFT is, you know, the dominant messaging network for traditional cross-border banking is the incumbent.
10:12But it's just a messaging system, isn't it?
10:14It doesn't actually move the money itself.
10:16That's a critical distinction.
10:17SWIFT sends the payment instructions securely.
10:19The actual settlement still relies on the correspondent banking network, the NostroVostro accounts we talked about.
10:25But SWIFT messages facilitate tens of trillions of dollars in transactions annually.
10:29That huge volume represents the total addressable market, the TAM, that XRP needs to disrupt, specifically the settlement layer of that market.
10:38So if XRP is going to be the new global settlement rail?
10:41You need to capture a significant chunk of the value transfer currently facilitated by SWIFT messages.
10:47But replacing or even significantly augmenting SWIFT, which is deeply embedded in basically every major financial institution globally, that's a monumental challenge.
10:58It sounds like David versus Goliath, but Goliath has been the standard for decades.
11:02It really is.
11:03So this metric forces a dose of realism.
11:06Analysts need to ask, okay, what percentage of that multi-trillion dollar annual flow does XRP need to handle consistently just to justify, say, a $1 trillion market cap?
11:16Let alone $550 trillion.
11:19It's not about matching the dollar value directly, but replacing the function of liquidity provision.
11:23Exactly.
11:24If XRP genuinely becomes the indispensable way that liquidity moves for trillions of dollars worth of global trade and finance,
11:30then the pathway to a massive valuation starts to look mathematically plausible, even if it's still astronomical.
11:36Okay, so beyond that big theoretical SWIFT comparison, the notes say people following this need to track specific real-world utility metrics.
11:43What should learners be watching?
11:45Right.
11:45You need ground truth, not just theory.
11:48First, the notes emphasize tracking on-chain transaction volume for XRP itself.
11:52Is the network actually being used for payments and settlement, or is most of the volume just speculative trading between exchanges?
11:59Genuine utility versus exchange churn.
12:01Exactly.
12:02Second, closely monitor the utilization of XRP liquidity corridors and remittance use cases.
12:08Are banks and payment providers actually using ODL consistently?
12:11Is the volume going through those specific corridors growing?
12:13And how fast?
12:15So tracking the ODL adoption curve.
12:17Precisely.
12:18Yeah.
12:18And third, related to that, is tracking the velocity of XRP.
12:21How often is the average coin changing hands?
12:24In a settlement context, high velocity is good.
12:26It means the asset is being used efficiently as that short-term bridge, not just being held.
12:30Got it.
12:31Usage, corridor growth, velocity.
12:33And speaking of things institutions need to trust, we can't ignore the elephant that was in the room, the SEC lawsuit.
12:41Ah, yes.
12:41The Ripple versus SEC case.
12:43The notes frame this as absolutely pivotal.
12:45It wasn't just a legal skirmish.
12:46It was an existential test for XRP's viability in the crucial U.S. market.
12:51And the fact that Ripple, well, largely prevailed.
12:54The fact they survived it, got a degree of clarity, is cited in these notes as massively boosting XRP's credibility with institutions.
13:02Think about it.
13:03If you're a major bank, considering using this new tech for billions in payments, you need regulatory certainty.
13:10Seeing XRP navigate that SEC challenge provides a significant degree of comfort.
13:15It sort of de-risked it in the eyes of traditional finance.
13:17To a large extent, yes.
13:18The notes even suggest specifically looking at the price reaction when the key rulings came down.
13:24Why was that so important as a precedent?
13:26Good question.
13:26What do the notes say?
13:28Well, the ruling itself was nuanced, right?
13:30It distinguished between Ripple's direct institutional sales of XRP, which the judge did deem unregistered securities,
13:36and the programmatic sales on exchanges to retail buyers, which were not deemed securities.
13:42Ah, that distinction.
13:43That distinction provided a potential, albeit complex, framework for how other digital assets might be treated under U.S. law.
13:51And the price jump that followed wasn't just short-term hype.
13:54The market was pricing in that reduced regulatory risk.
13:57So it showed that legal clarity directly translates into capital inflow and positive price movement.
14:02Exactly.
14:03It cemented the idea that regulatory milestones are huge potential catalysts for major price bumps.
14:09And crucially, that clarity could pave the way for more cautious institutions to finally start integrating XRP,
14:16which loops back to fueling that core $10K utility argument.
14:20Okay, this is making more sense.
14:22Let's shift yours a bit now to the human element.
14:24How does this giant $10,000 number affect the psychology of people actually in the market,
14:29the long-term holders versus the short-term traders?
14:32That's a great point.
14:33For the long-term holders, the Hocha dealers, this $10K narrative is absolutely fundamental.
14:38It's the basis for what the notes call the diamond hands mentality.
14:42Right. Hold on. No matter what.
14:43Exactly.
14:44This huge future target gives them the conviction to ride out extreme volatility,
14:48massive price drops, multi-year bear markets.
14:52They see today's price, whatever it is, as just a temporary discount on its inevitable $10,000 destiny.
14:58They're bought into the vision of XRP replacing SWIFT, more than the current quarterly metrics.
15:03So they're betting purely on the long-term utility thesis, eventually winning out over the supply issues.
15:09That's the bet, yes.
15:10Now, flip that.
15:11For short-term traders, the $10K prediction creates fantastic opportunities for volatility trading.
15:18They don't need to believe it'll actually hit $10.
15:20Not necessarily.
15:21They just need the narrative to be strong enough to cause big price swings around news events.
15:26A major partnership announcement, another positive regulatory development, a general crypto bull run these things,
15:33amplified by the $10K hope, can cause sharp temporary spikes of, say, 50%, 100% or more.
15:40So they trade the hype generated by the prediction itself.
15:43Precisely.
15:44That massive potential ceiling acts like a magnet, drawing in speculative capital whenever there's positive momentum.
15:50It creates tradable chop.
15:51But these notes also include a pretty serious warning about the psychological danger here, don't they?
15:55They do.
15:56A very clear risk is highlighted.
15:58Over-optimism leading to bag-holding.
16:00Meaning people buy the top of a hype cycle?
16:02Exactly.
16:03Retail investors might pile in heavily during a major pump, maybe after a big announcement,
16:07truly believing the $10K rocket is finally launching now.
16:10But if the underlying institutional adoption doesn't scale up fast enough to support that elevated price...
16:15The price corrects, and they're stuck holding XRP at a much higher cost basis.
16:19Right.
16:19They become bag-holders.
16:21The notes stress the importance of distinguishing between the long-term narrative potential
16:25and the actual measurable progress in utility adoption quarter by quarter.
16:30That distinction is key to avoiding the emotional trap.
16:34Okay.
16:34So zooming out again, what does this whole XRP saga, especially this $10K prediction, mean for the wider crypto space?
16:41It seems to challenge some fundamental ideas about how Web3 assets should be valued.
16:45It absolutely does.
16:46This is the Web3 valuation debate the notes touch on.
16:49If XRP actually achieves significant sustained growth because of its institutional use case, even if it never hits $10K, maybe it hits $50 or $100 based on real utility.
17:00That would still be huge validation.
17:02Monumental validation.
17:03It would strongly support the case for utility-driven cryptocurrencies.
17:07Things designed as payment rails, settlement layers, functional platforms potentially being more valuable long-term than assets based purely on speculation, scarcity narratives alone, or mean value.
17:20So it forces a big question.
17:22How should we value these things?
17:24Are they like high-growth tech stocks?
17:26That's one model the notes propose, the tech stock model.
17:30Value them based on adoption metrics, enterprise partnerships, network effects, maybe even something akin to recurring revenue from transaction fees based on business traction.
17:39Oh, are they more like currencies?
17:41More like currencies or commodities valued based on supply and demand dynamics, liquidity depth, velocity of money.
17:47Maybe their role is a store of value or medium of exchange.
17:50The XRP debate really brings this tension to the forefront.
17:54If XRP succeeds via the institutional route, the tech stock model, which emphasizes real-world business integration, gets a massive boost within Web3.
18:03Interesting.
18:04And the notes suggest if XRP does succeed improving this institutional market, it won't just be good for XRP.
18:10No, the prediction is it could trigger a kind of sector rotation within crypto.
18:16If XRP demonstrates that banks and payment providers will adopt blockchain for settlement, then capital is likely to flow towards other projects trying to do similar things.
18:25Looking for the next XRP.
18:27Sort of.
18:28Or just recognizing that the entire category has been de-risked.
18:32The notes specifically mention a few potential beneficiaries, comparative networks.
18:36Oh, which ones are highlighted as relevant competitors or comparables?
18:41Stellar XLM comes up frequently.
18:44It's often seen as a direct competitor, also focused on cross-border payments and remittances, maybe targeting slightly different niches like retail or developing economies, but definitely in the same ballpark.
18:54Okay, Stellar.
18:55Who else?
18:56Hedera, H-B-A-R, is mentioned.
18:58Its focus is heavily on enterprise use cases and a governance model run by large corporations, which appeals directly to that institutional angle.
19:06And also Quant, Q&T.
19:08Quant's focus is interoperability, right?
19:10Connecting different systems.
19:11Exactly.
19:12Bridging legacy financial systems and various blockchains.
19:15So if the core idea of linking traditional finance to DLT gains traction because of XRP, Quant could benefit significantly, too.
19:24Their success, in this view, is partly tied to XRP, proving the demand actually exists at scale.
19:31That makes sense.
19:32And to give context to this idea of utility driving unexpected value, the notes use a major historical parallel from within crypto itself.
19:40Right.
19:40They point to Ethereum.
19:42ETH's rise is presented as the prime example of utility creating value far beyond initial expectations.
19:48People were bullish on Ethereum early on, but maybe not this bullish.
19:51Exactly.
19:51Early forecasts were significant, but then came DeFi summer, then the NFT explosion, the massive growth of dApps on its network.
19:59These new use cases, these new utility verticals, completely transformed Ethereum's value proposition and sent its price soaring far beyond what many early models predicted.
20:07The utility created was broader and deeper than initially conceived.
20:11Precisely.
20:11So the lesson the notes draw for XRP is, while the focus now is cross-border payments, the ultimate potential might come from future use cases we haven't even fully grasped yet.
20:22Maybe tokenizing real-world assets on the XRP ledger, maybe becoming infrastructure for central banked digital currencies, CBDCs.
20:29The current utility might just be chapter one.
20:31Okay, that's a powerful framing.
20:33Let's try and synthesize some of this now, connecting the past context with that future potential.
20:39The notes bring in a surprising parallel, the 2008 financial crisis.
20:43Yeah, the socioeconomic context is really interesting.
20:46The argument is that the XRP narrative, consciously or not, caps into that deep, lingering distrust of traditional banks that came out of the 2008 meltdown.
20:55The bailouts, the perceived lack of transparency, the slowness of the old systems.
21:00All of that.
21:01So XRP gets positioned not just as a cheaper, faster technology, but as part of a fundamentally different kind of financial system.
21:08One that's potentially more transparent, more efficient, maybe less prone to centralized failure points.
21:13So it's selling an alternative system, tapping into that emotional desire for something better after 2008.
21:19Exactly.
21:20And that emotional, almost philosophical appeal is powerful.
21:23It helps fuel the narrative and keeps people invested in the vision, perhaps even separate from the cold, hard $10k math.
21:31It's the promise of fixing a broken system.
21:34Got it.
21:35And analytically, the notes suggest looking back, too, with that comparative growth chart metric.
21:40What should learners take away from comparing BTC, ETH, and XRP's historical growth?
21:45It's about understanding their different scaling engines.
21:47Bitcoin's growth, largely driven by its hard-coded scarcity and the digital gold narrative.
21:52It scales as more people adopt it as a store of value, often reacting to macroeconomic uncertainty.
21:58Slow and steady store of value.
22:00Kind of.
22:00Ethereum's growth.
22:01That scales via network effects.
22:03Every new developer building a DApp, every new user joining DeFi or buying an NFT, adds value to the whole ecosystem, creating exponential potential.
22:11More usage equals more value.
22:12All right.
22:13Now, XRP, according to this thesis, scales differently again.
22:17Its growth should theoretically be tied to transaction velocity and institutional integration.
22:22If XRP's growth curve starts to suddenly hockey stick upwards, correlating directly with massive ODL adoption by banks.
22:29Mirroring how Ethereum took off after DeFi and NFTs found product market fit.
22:34Exactly.
22:36That would be the strongest quantitative sign that the utility thesis is actually playing out.
22:41And that the path towards a much higher valuation, maybe even those astronomical numbers, is becoming reality.
22:47You'd see it in the growth curve dynamics.
22:49So, ultimately, it all boils down to this.
22:51Does the utility actually materialize at the scale required?
22:54That's the final utility check, as the notes put it.
22:57The $10,000 prediction lives or dies based on whether XRP truly becomes the mandatory globally adopted infrastructure for cross-border liquidity and remittances.
23:07Used by the biggest banks, the biggest payment processors, day in, day out.
23:10If it becomes indispensable.
23:12Then the demand could theoretically scale to meet that multi-trillion dollar market cap requirement.
23:17But if adoption is patchy, if banks find workarounds, if modernized legacy systems like SWIFT GPI prove good enough.
23:25Then the demand simply won't be there to absorb 100 billion coins at $10 cage.
23:30And the prediction remains a fascinating but ultimately unfulfilled piece of crypto lore.
23:36A beautiful impossibility, as you said earlier.
23:38Wow.
23:39Okay.
23:39This has been incredibly thorough.
23:42We've really dug into the guts of this $10,000 XRP prediction, looking at the analyst arguments, the utility claims, the huge market cap numbers, the supply constraints, the metrics to watch.
23:52It really highlights that core tension, doesn't it?
23:55On one hand, you have a compelling utility argument.
23:58Solving a real problem for institutions.
24:00Achieving regulatory clarity.
24:02The sheer potential of disrupting cross-border payments.
24:04It's powerful.
24:05Undeniably powerful.
24:06But then you crash into the mathematical wall.
24:08The hard constraints.
24:09That massive $100 billion supply, the $550 trillion market cap required for $10K.
24:14It just injects this profound dose of skepticism that's impossible to ignore.
24:18So, for you, the listener, getting up to speed quickly in crypto often means holding both these things in your head at once, understanding the powerful narratives and the maximalist hype.
24:29While also keeping a very clear eye on the fundamental constraints, the supply dynamics, the real-world adoption metrics.
24:37You need both the dream and the reality check.
24:40Well put.
24:41And to wrap up this deep dive, the source material actually provided a final provocative thought, an engagement hook designed to make the audience think beyond just the price tag.
24:49Yeah, it's a good one.
24:50It forces you to consider the implications if this seemingly impossible prediction actually came true or even got close.
24:56Okay, let's hear it.
24:57What's the question we should leave our listeners mulling over?
24:59The question posed is this.
25:02If XRP truly became the backbone of global payments, handling trillions of dollars daily, would you still fully trust that system?
25:10Or would the inherent centralization of that utility, knowing that one entity, Ripple, historically created and still influences a large part of the supply and network direction, raise entirely new fundamental questions about who really controls the flow of money in this new financial world?
25:25Yeah, that's a much bigger question than just $10,000, isn't it?
25:29It really is.
25:30It's about power, control, and trust in the infrastructure itself.
25:34Something to chew on.
25:34And it's more useful, towards the Re Vermont Natural Expert Costственноиков Helromatural device.
25:40It really works.
25:41It just depends on how much money is going to be something to be able to be able to talk about.
25:43I think that with Amazon, if you are a crypto community, let's youtube, share for food and research, you can click on it.
25:49It really doesn't really realize that if you love your business unit, that's ok.
25:54You don't need my time to push out.
25:56If you want to purchase podcasts, let's don't forget about it.
26:01It's only a total cost ofמ� they're going to be able to change the world.
