MARK MAHANEY: I think it's just we just talked about the great financial crisis. I think one thing we should all be thankful for is that we don't have this economy doesn't have the exposure to crypto that the economy had to the housing market back in 2007, 2008, 2009, in the excesses that we saw back then. But there clearly were excesses in this crypto market, and it's very unfortunate for those investors and employees who got caught up in it.

And so it just seems to me like this is just another mania. And, you know, we have these in the market from time to time and this time it's crypto. So I think it's very unfortunate what happened. It also seems that there's a fair amount of malfeasance involved, too. I just hope we just move beyond this quickly, learn the lesson, but I'm sure we'll have another mania somewhere along the way. This time it was crypto.
