Yes Sir, we've had few unpleasant surprises these past few years with life events, investments, and people. I try really hard not to dwell on them and handle them with a measure of grace because it seems as if the more attention you give them, or the more disappointed you get, the more they snowball. In contrast I look back at the time period between 2016 and 2019 and it's weird how those years were almost the polar opposite—so many phenomenal experiences, friendships, and successes. Sometimes life events seem out of our control, disconnected from our decision-making, based on pure luck. Churchill said, "If you are going through hell, keep going." and that rings so true for me sometimes. As for the markets, you're smart to divorce yourself from alts. I believe if there's no real utility to them then they're going to flounder. Money has moved elsewhere—prediction markets, stock market, AI, etc. As for Hive, I just don't know. Sometimes I feel as though we need a real intervention to decide which direction we want things to go. Decentralization is wonderful in a lot of aspects but there needs to be cohesion when it comes to a roadmap of growth. I feel like this is what's missing.
