CRYPTO: Is It Quietly Transforming the Global Economy?

I'm Rufus Griskam and I'm Caleb Bissinger. And this is the next big idea. Today, the crypto revolution is quietly happening. Is it actually Rufus? Yeah, I I think it is.
Rufus, if you pulled 50 people on the street, do do you think they'd actually agree with that assertion you just made? You know, I'm not sure that they would. That's a great point. And it's a classic Gartner hype cycle case study. You have a new technology that is at first overhyped.
Then when it doesn't deliver on its promise, it goes through what's called the trough of disillusionment. Right, so I think we saw this most clearly with driverless cars. In 2016, Elon Musk said, I think we're less than two years away from complete autonomy. And yet here we are 10 years later and we're still waiting. Exactly.
