0:00A: And
0:00B: so, who are the kinds of people that you think should be experimenting with these kinds of bottom-up tools that aren’t in crypto at all?
0:07A: I think, like, Penny’s a really good example for Boyd. I think the perfect way to put it is people who care about these problems. You don’t have to be the smartest, you don’t have to be the best, you don’t have to be the most connected, you don’t have to have the most resources. You do need to be the most passionate. And I think, like, that is a true differentiator because passion can turn into, can be converted into resources, network, etc., but not vice versa. It’s really hard. Impossible, in fact, to convert research into passion. So I think like we need to be working forward in terms of like giving people a pedestal. And I think this is where like crypto got a lot right in the past, where when you were building an ICO or you were a researcher or something like that, you were doing so because you cared about that very specific niche.
