“That's exactly so true. And, guys, I just I just wanted to clarify one thing. Right? Because I talk about hedging a lot, but just to clarify, hedging doesn't mean that you've experienced no losses. Right? In order for one side to get a gain, the other side has to take a loss. Right? So what hedging hedging means is…”
“Give me one second just to clarify something real quick here. One of the one of the big things that when you hear tokens are getting listed and a project is providing liquidity to the exchange, right, they're giving...
