And so far we're still early for January, not even halfway through the month. And also, let's remember, Trump's inauguration is literally in eight more days. So you already know, fam, things are going to start heating up, in my opinion. I'm just going to talk and kick it. I mean, I am in bitcoin country, so I'm going to share my experience and then tomorrow I'll share the videos that I'm referencing from talking with you and hopefully that's cool with you guys. I'm just glad to be here, glad to be live and in the flesh. So, yeah, so here's how it all began. I. I'll share my experience from flying from Puerto Rico. Okay, so I flew in from Puerto Rico on Friday. The flight was pretty good. I had a stopover in Panama and there was a stopover because there's no direct flight I'm aware of Puerto Rico to El Salvador. So we stopped at in Panama, very big, beautiful airport if you've never been there, and then took the plane from Panama to El Salvador. I touched down at around 8:30. Yeah, man. Would you wear the same shoes for every occasion or rock the same outfit seven days a week? Of course not. Your style is better with options. Your investments could be too. CBOE index options give you access to various contract sizes, global trading hours and potential tax advantages. That's a good look for any portfolio. If you're ready to invest in style, head to betterwithoptions.com There are risks associated with CBO company products. Review the disclosures and disclaimers@cboe.com USDisclaimers and keep the comments flowing, guys. I do see them all coming in. So yeah, I touched down in bitcoin country at 8:30, went through the immigration. It was all easy, smooth process. The lines weren't large. It didn't take a lot of time. Probably within 15 minutes from getting off the airplane, I was able to go through immigration. I had my driver waiting for me. It's recommended that you have a driver lined up. However, when I did get outside, there was a ton of people and they were, you know, trying to sell taxi rides and such. So if you didn't have a driver lined up, you'd probably still be just as okay. But it was nice having a driver. And having a driver, he actually. On our way to the hotel, which is approximately 45 minutes where we're at now, the El Presidente district, where this hotel is at is about 45 minutes from the airport. So he took us on or not us, but he took me because I was by myself traveling solo here. I don't have the Nipinator with me. Nipinator is with the dog sitter and he's in good hands. But we stopped at like the Capitol and that's where I shared a lot of the photos. When I first got to bitcoin country, we stopped on the way and we saw the most amazing thing ever. There's so many people outside. It was lit up as if it was daylight. And it was probably like 9, 10pm and they had an outside out skating ring. Their kids playing. Very safe environment. Didn't feel threatened in any way. I know the most common thing. Is it safe? Do you feel safe? Oh yeah, extremely safe. I feel more safe here in bitcoin country. 10 times safer than like Puerto Rico or something like that. So absolutely, I recommend it. If you come here, bring your kids, you can bring your entire family and know it's a safe place to be. We went in the library and the library was donated from China is what I was told from my driver, meaning they financed it. And it's the most beautiful advanced library I've ever been to before. And the library was so cool, I would assume maybe eight stories and super advanced and modern. And the very first floor was like for babies and you know, very young children. And then each floor higher age. And even in the library in one of the floors, I shared pictures with my daughter because I knew it would blow her mind. They had a huge video, they like virtual reality style video game, huge screens, kids playing games. And I was told by our driver that if kids study for 30 minutes at the library, then they have the privilege to use the video games for free. And it's all for free. So it's pretty cool in that sense. And at the very top, some, some of the most surreal views you'll see of the entire city. And I know I shared a lot of those photos on X. Let me know if you guys were able to see that. And at the very top is also a beautiful art gallery and very nice restaurant. So if, if you've never been to bitcoin country, I can highly recommend visiting the library. And it's open 20 and that entire district and area is just open all night is what I'm told. And so it was a good experience. I try to capture, you know, the moment best I could for you guys. And if you guys aren't following me on X, make sure to do so because that's where you'll find a lot of the content. So after that I checked in at my hotel at maybe, I don't know, 10, 11pm and the hotel is very nice. This is the sheraton El presidente. It's affordable, especially compared to hotel stays elsewhere such as like in the United States, Puerto Rico. Yeah, I mean it's very nice. People are very friendly. I think the first thing that stands out besides the beauty and the scenery, which is incredible and like the majestic mountains and all that, people are very kind. Like El Salvadorans are extremely kind hearted people. It's like they have a level of innocence and purity which you don't typically see. So that was pretty amazing. Very friendly, very kind, very helpful and very trustworthy people. So I'm blown away by the hospitality here in bitcoin country. That's one thing that stands out besides the beauty and all that, you know, kind of stuff. So I attended the second day of the Max and Stacy invitational. Because I couldn't make it the first day. I had to drop my daughter off at school and take care of some things. So I got in late. So the first day they went to El Zante, which is bitcoin beach, which everyone recommends. I'm going to have to make it out there because I am staying here all week to explore on my own or whatever. So El Zante is bitcoin beach, which is I would assume maybe an hour, hour and a half away from this side of the country. And so the event started very early. We had a nice breakfast which was amazing. The food here is great. It's right up my alley. My, my ideal breakfast is eggs. They eat beans a lot here. Like I. I don't know if I think they're called refried beans. They're very popular here. And cheese. Oh, such a clutch off season pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd bring back the same team. I meant Those blackout motorized shades lines.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old blinds. Hard to install. No, it's easy. I installed these and then got some from my mom. She talked to a design consultant for free and scheduled a professional measure and install hall of fame son. They're the number one online retailer of custom window coverings in the world. Blinds.com is the goat shop blinds.com right now and get up to 40 off select styles plus a free professional measure. Rules and restrictions may apply, which I love. I'm a cheesy. And what else? Here we had eggs, refried beans. Oh, my favorite avocado. So it's like, my go to breakfast. I love to eat every day anyways, so the food is great, very affordable. I treated my group for breakfast at a restaurant, and there was four of us, and we had coffee and, like, everything. And it was like $40. I was, like, pretty impressed by that. Gratuity was automatically added to the bill, but it was only 10. I'm like, they only add 10 for gratuity. It's like 18, 20 elsewhere, you know, different countries. So I thought that was kind of interesting and, you know, which inspired me to leave bigger tips, because 10 is obviously not a lot. It's not really standard in the United States. So that was interest. But after breakfast, we made it to the. The resort in which the event was held, which is amazing, by the way, and it's very, very. The best word to describe it. Majestic. When you see all the mountains, you know, the infinity pool at the resort, the service is phenomenal. Everything was, like, topnotch. Great place to be. So anyways, recollecting the process of my experience, so I met Max, which was cool. I'll share the video tomorrow, because I do want to share that with you guys. Max was very, you know, very approachable. FYI, if you're wondering, is he approachable, can you talk to him? Yeah. In fact, anyone who went up to him was able to talk to him. Oftentimes people would come up and ask for photos or ask for videos. There wasn't one time where I saw Max say, no, don't bother me. Every single time. If someone came up and said, can I have five minutes of your time? Sure. And then Max is, you know, doing his thing. He shot a ton of content because everyone had videos. I was part of the, you know, media crew, so all sorts of cameras and things going on. And that's why I was trying to get a lot of exclusive footage. But I. I met Max, and he started reiterating that Puerto Rico is for the coiners. You need to come to the bitcoin country. Bitcoin. But it was very interesting first, you know, first getting to meet him. And he showed some of the prizes for those who would win in the, you know, the golf tournament, obviously, in which they held, which I didn't participate in. They had very exclusive watches that were one of a kind, very nice, you know, the jackets, you know, and all that kind of stuff. And that was kind of cool. And after meeting Max, we went on a. I went in the golf cart with Max to show me around, you know, the holes and take footage and all that. What My homie, Brandon Lee Martin, which was lot of fun. Isabella was there. I'm sure you've seen Isabella. She's very nice and, you know, approachable as well. So. But yeah, that was probably one of my favorite parts of the event, was going in the golf cart with Max Kaiser and going through, I think it's 18 whole course or whatever. And we stopped at every hole and took some EXCL exclusive footage because every hole was brought to you by a sponsor and stuff like that. And Max just shared some very insightful information. One of them, I asked Max about purchasing a home in El Salvador and, you know, bitcoin banks and using bitcoin as collateral. And that was one of the most fascinating topics to me. So it was very awesome to hear his feedback on his recommendations and how that works here in bitcoin country. And I asked, like, what the, you know, the values of the properties were and things like that. And he was just very open and tell me all that good stuff. He showed us the hoddle house, which is his personal house he is having built, which should be done very soon. He also, it's also a studio and he also invited, you know, me and my homie, Brandon Lee Martin to come as VIP guests and stay with him and invited us to do podcasts there and stuff like that. So that was very kind of him. And I have all this on video and I'll get to share that with you next stream, which will stream tomorrow. So don't, don't sweat it. It's all good. I guess it was meant to be this way anyways. And yeah, so that was pretty cool. And after the golf tour, we got back, got to hang out at the resort. The people who were participating in the golfing, they were golfing all day because it's 18 holes and almost everyone, even the experienced people, they said it was one of the most difficult golf courses they've ever played on, which I found fascinating. And I'm going to be checking the con. Yeah, the dog booties was cool. I guess those were intended for golf clubs. I said, wouldn't that be great for knit if we can get some bitcoin Dog booties. I thought that'd be fun. I'm glad you remember that. Oracle Max revealed his family comes from. Someone says here his family comes from Bavaria. And now Bavaria. Where's Bavaria? I don't even know where that is. I don't even understand what you're saying. Laser cat. I don't understand those terms. Soccer gids. In the summer of 1994, 14s entered an abandoned building in Gravesend, Brooklyn. It was the last time they would be seen alive. With few clues and no witnesses, the case went cold. But for Anthony Brewer, the brother of one of the victims, the search never stopped. In 2024, he acquired evidence from the police that contained DNA samples that didn't match the teens. That discovery put his life and the life of his family in grave danger. Goosebumps the Vanishing all episodes now available on Disney plus and Hulu on disney plus.disney.com rated TV14LV. So I'm not familiar with what you're saying. There was Jamie Tapeworm. Jamie Tapeworm came up in a lot of the interviews. Interestingly enough, Jamie Diamond's very interesting topic of conversation. Did you meet anyone from Sovereignty Studios? I believe so. I met hundreds of people. This wasn't a small event. It was small in the sense I can guarantee you the next event will be five to 10 times larger. So it feels good to be a part of the original. Yeah, I mean, like the first one because there's going to be more shout out to the bitcoin sports network who put on the event. Frida and Chris are very kind people. I also have some exclusive behind the scenes video with them. The event, you know, organizer that put on all this and they are going to be doing a lot more events and every year they're going to be having ultimately a Max and Stacy Invitational. It's just going to be a lot bigger. This was the very first one. So if you don't know now you know. So if you didn't get to attend this one, you will get to attend the next one. Yeah, there were a ton of sponsors there. A lot of people. I would say maybe a couple hundred golfers and maybe a hundred or less spectators. So. And it was a very affordable event. You know, tickets were very affordable compared to what they could be charging for events like this that give you exclusive access to, you know, rock stars in the industry. That's what's up. Oh, in Germany. Okay, so am I pronouncing the city right? Bavaria. Bavaria. Okay. I gotta remember that one. Thank you. Larry Padro Gomez from Dothan, Alabama. Shout out, Larry. That's very good, brother. Enjoy your time. Thank you. Did anyone put you in their wills? That's actually hilarious. So, yeah, what else? The evening was great. And the event, you know, they had incredible food the entire time. The event included breakfast, lunch and dinner. I skipped out on the dinner because I don't eat meat. It was mostly meat heavy. They love their meat. Out here, apparently, and they all say it's great. So if you're a meat lover, you'll absolutely love the steaks out here. I've heard nothing but compliments from people that love steak and stuff like that. But it ended with music, celebration, fireworks, and it was very beautiful. The way they ended the event was pretty amazing. I did put up a video on X of the fireworks and stuff like that. I'm not going to be able to play those videos on the stream because of the music in the background for copyright, you know, reasoning. So looks I had so much fun. Yeah, I'm having a blast. I can't believe it's only day three. I'm definitely going to be visiting bitcoin country more often and taking Max up on his offer to record some content at the Hoddle House studio. It's a great place and honestly, it's a very simple flight, you know, from Puerto Rico. So I'm looking forward to it and exploring. I'm going to be here all week, so I will be just doing nothing but exploring bitcoin country here. And so tomorrow as well, when I share all the videos and I have all the glitches fixed to where the sound works. We're also going to premiere the new music video for the new Biddy Up El Salvador song Chandy created. We can play it. I have it on the road caster. But the. I can't play the video because the sound's not working on the video for obvious reasons that I shared earlier. But yeah, so good stuff. The burgers in Guatemala are bad. Gave mine to a dog that bad Facts. Geez Louise. I had the something uncle named Free. Oh, you had an uncle named Frida and Chris. Interesting. Yeah. The founders of the bitcoin sports network is Frida and Chris and we did an exclusive interview with Frida, me and Brandon Lee and it was pretty dope. I'm gonna be in March. Are you gonna be in bitcoin country in March? Nice. Shout out whoever just subbed it. Looks like I gotta fix the thing on the screen to where it's not cut off. Let me fix that so next time someone subs and thank you guys in advance. So we have 1100 people here live right now. There's a try stream. We're live on extramail and YouTube. I'm going to check the X feed again and just my apologies. My intention today was to share all the. Not all, but a lot of the exclusive videos that I captured here, but I'm not able to do it today.

They don't imprison their opposition. And you got to respect the philosopher king. Now there were a lot of rumors circulating that there was going to be a big special guest, but we didn't see Nig Bukele at the event. I did get a photo with the cardboard cut out though. If you guys saw that, it's kind of funny. But we did meet another Bukele family member who was there, Jessica Bukele. And I got to speak with her and she was very kind and we traded information and she helps businesses set up shop here in El Salvador. So it's a great connect to have there. And she was very friendly. To be honest, everyone at the event was so friendly, but not just at the event, just in El Salvador in general. Very friendly people, great people. Like I said, very warm hearted, good soul individuals. And shout out Sergio again. He showed us a great time. And if you. I get a lot of questions regarding this hat. If you want one of these, it's Bitcoin. Caps.net stock may be sold out, but I'm sure he'll restock up when he can. He made like hundreds of hats for these events. All the hats at the event were created by Sergio, so all those and the logos created by my homie, Brandon Lee Martin, which is a pretty cool logo. And he does all the exclusive design work for max and Stacy. Mr. Corvette. Thank you, brother. Appreciate the repost. You guys are awesome. Thank you. JC Ice Oracle. So, yeah, if you guys want to ask me questions, let's just tap into some Q A. Again, my intent was to share a lot of the exclusive videos I captured, but for technical reasons, I'm not able to. The audio is not going to work unless I reset my computer. And we're not going to reset today. So tomorrow we'll have it prepped and I'll make sure it's going. It'll work properly. So we'll have a bomb ass stream tomorrow. My promise. But I'm gonna go ahead and open up the chat in the tube here and I'll do my best to address questions and such like that. And let me know if you guys have plans to come to Bitcoin country. But one other thing, actually, before I get into the Q A, I did want to actually share something because this is my first time announcing it on the podcast. So give me one second here. He gave hope to this place turned it bold and bright Orange country bleeds blue, white and orange light Got cold storage then move on down where volcanoes and currency flow no frowns, no worries, no politics, no puppets, no clowns Biddy up, biddy up Stack and flow about the rocket out of volcano, y'all Bitty up, get down in bitcointown Bitcoin vibes in the Salvador Glow kitty, kitty, kitty I feel your heat, you're melting me I'm a puddle living in ecstasy Bitcoin country is seducing me Lava flows it's like a bitcoin is g spot moist and on fire Like a bitcoins G spot moist and on fire Candy, you got the fire bars. This was all produced and written by Chandy, by the way. On this track Dragon flame Trap I think I'm caught From volcanic peaks to the surf that rules El Salvador hits the spot, it's Bitcoin city Stacking stats and goals Philosopher king yeah, they call him the man analytics poetic he's got the plan no politics just proof of work stats Just proof of work Stacking the stats Amen. But yeah, I wanted to share this with you guys. I finally Launched the event details for the 100k Fiesta I've been talking about since 2021. Clearly we didn't hit 100 grand back then, but. But I finally locked down the venue. I already paid for the venue. It's 100% in stone. I got the contract signed and all that and it's here. So if you guys want to lock in your tickets or find out more information, I included the link in the description of the YouTube. You also, you know, find it pinned at the top of my ex profile. But let's just go over what's happening in Puerto Rico on February 8th and February 9th. This is the actual event page that's I created through Eventbrite. Right. And it's called the 100k Bitcoin Fiesta. What exactly is it? It's a celebratory experience where we just celebrate bitcoiners. We can network with one another and party. And what's included with the ticket, it's going to include food and drinks, you know, I mean, and then there's also VIP tickets for a exclusive excursion the following day with the CNA fam. So let me just go through everything here and just FYI, this is not a big event event, it's a small event. Six tickets are already gone and I haven't even promoted it yet. So just keep that in mind. I think there's a total of 28 tickets that can be sold because the venue can only hold 30 people. The venue which we rented and to cater to 30 people and all that kind of stuff. So six tickets are gone. So again, very minimal tickets available. But if you do want to attend, I would recommend copping a ticket. I try to make them as affordable as possible with the nicest experience as possible. And let me break this all down for you, eight ages 18 and up. This party is not for kids. Just make note of that. It says get ready to party like never before at the 100k Bitcoin Fiesta in Puerto Rico. A epic celebration with JV Chandy 10 music in the ZNA fam. It's going down Saturday, February 8th from 8pm to midnight. So that's when it will begin. The location is going to be at the sandbox at the Canot Condado Ocean Club, which is a beautiful venue, FYI. Beautiful views on the water. It's off Ashford Avenue. Extremely safe location. It's where my daughter goes to school off that street. And it's one of the nicest, most exclusive areas of the San Juan area, just FYI. So you can feel Very safe being there. So here's what it says. I'll just read it out loud for you. You should be able to see. Let's see. Make it a little bigger. Maybe one more step bigger here. Is that good? Yeah. Okay, I'm just going to read what I wrote here. Come join us at the sandbox at the Condado Ocean Club in Puerto Rico for an unforgettable party filled with all things bitcoin. Whether you're a seasoned crypto pro or just getting started, this event is perfect for anyone looking to celebrate and connect with fellow bitcoiners. So ultimately it's a great networking experience to meet me, to meet Chandy and to meet the CNA fam and network with like minded people. Because the one thing that attracts us and brings us all together is bitcoin. So connect with fellow bitcoiners, get ready to meet JV Chandy and network with fellow bitcoin enthusiasts and maybe even walk away with some sweet prizes. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to celebrate all things bitty at the 100k Fiesta. Ticket information on your screen. General admission. And again, my goal was to make it as affordable as possible so that everyone can attend if you wanted to. It 10. Okay, so it's $197 and then processing fees and is is $15. If you want to avoid the processing fees you can pay with bitcoin and circumvent that. This is what they charge to use their service. Just FYI, I don't have my own merchant and all that kind of stuff and I do prefer Bitcoin, FYI. But you also, you can choose. You can use PayPal, Apple Pay credit card or bitcoin, whatever is most convenient for you. I'm going to read what it says here. This general admission ticket includes entry into the 100k Bitcoin Fiesta on Saturday so you could, you know, network. And it also includes food and drinks. General admission, couple. If you wanted to come with a spouse or a loved one, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, you could and you can save a hundred dollars. So if you do want to, you know, travel with, you know, whomever, you could do that. And same concept only it's a couple's ticket and then we have VIP. VIP the first day is the same regardless on the 8th for everyone. But VIP is a very small, exclusive group where we're going to go on like a five hour excursion together. And I'll show some photos of that here so you can kind of see. But it says the VIP ticket includes entry into the 100K Bitcoin Fiesta, Saturday, February 8th and includes networking and food and drinks. A general mission ticket does but also includes VIP bonus day on Sunday, February 9th 9th for an all inclusive island, snorkel and boat tour with JV Chandy and the CNA family. And again, if you are traveling and attending with a couple or a loved one, you can get the vip, VIP couples ticket and save. I think it's a couple hundred dollars there. Same concept. Now for some Q A as far as frequently asked questions regarding the event. Recommended hotels we have all the hotels I recommend are virtually in that same exact area. Extremely close. We have options cheap as $212 a night, which is pretty much the cheapest hotel you're going to find in that area. But it's still a nice hotel. It's not like a dump or nothing. These are recommended hotels. I wouldn't list them if I didn't recommend them and if I wouldn't stay them, stay there personally. But the Coral Princess is going to be the most affordable one and I include the website so you can book, book you know, your hotel stay if you need to stay and all that. And the second one is the Condado Plaza Hotel. It's a little more 285. Then you got the Condado Ocean Club which is where the event is being held. This is a four star hotel resort club. So it's not cheap but it's extremely nice and spectacular. And if you can afford it, I can highly recommend staying here. Condado's Ocean Club, that's where the event is actually being held. And again it's a four star, very high end. Nice. Then you have La Concha is very nice. I forget. I think it's a five star hotel here. I've been there, I've celebrated a party there before. It's very nice. And then you have the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel which I believe is the most high end hotel in San Juan. It's a five star hotel so you got options. Again, Coral Princess is three star. Condado Plaza Hotel is three star. And then you get to the four star and five star accommodations. It's all up to you what you want to do. Obviously you don't need to stay at a hotel. You know, maybe you're in Puerto Rico, who knows, maybe have somewhere to stay and other options also consider you could, you know, rent a hotel with someone else attending the event, including a CNA family member. You're maybe in a position where you're like, ah, even 200. I can't swing it. That's a lot for me. Understood. Stack more sats and you know, get a roommate, one of the CNA family members and spend a hundred dollars a night and then whatever it takes, just get to the event. If you want to be there, there, right. Which airport do I fly into? It's the San Juan International Airport. There's only one of them. How far is the event venue from the airport? It's less than a 15 minute taxi or Uber drive. Super simple to get there. You don't really need to book a driver in advance unless you feel more comfortable doing. So every time I go to the airport, if I'm not driving, I'll just take like an Uber. Ubers are safe and good and works. What does the VIP ticket include? I already broke that down for you. You're going to get a bonus excursion day. This is the excursion. I'm going to show you the photos. This is how beautiful the water is. And the reason we decided to do this is to give you an unforgettable experience and spend a lot of time with us in a very small, exclusive group and get great photos, videos and all that. So you have a time of your life and you could remember it. Do you have to attend vip? No. If you can't swing vip, it's all good. It's going to be a very small group, very limited tickets, tickets to begin with. But if you want to be there, this is an opportunity to network with yours truly. And you can just look at the water here. It's pretty phenomenal. These are actual photos. Is Condado, Puerto Rico, safe for tourists? Yes, it is one of the safest, if not the safest and nicest upscale neighborhoods in all of San Juan. So this is the perfect place for Puerto Rico tourists especially. And that's why so many tourists come to Condado. And again, again, extremely safe. I'm there practically every day. It's not that far from my house. Can I bring my kids to the party? No, because the party, you got to be 18 years or older and you got to be 21 years or older to drink in Puerto Rico, just FYI. However, if you're traveling with your family, they can come to the resort, get a babysitter or maybe your spouse can watch them, whatever and, or you can hire a babysitter and because there's lots of things to do for kids, beaches, park, malls, etc and they'll have a good time. Can you bring the spouse to the party? Absolutely. And get a discount. Is A passport required to fly into Puerto Rico from the usa? No, that's what makes it that much cooler. You don't need a passport. Yeah, I mean so if you don't have a passport you can still come. Unless you're in a different country. But if you're in the United States, it's not required. How many days should I stay in Puerto Rico? I encourage you to stay as many as you like. It's totally up to you. Like I came to this event of Max and Stacy's is only a two day event, but I'm staying the entire week because I want to explore bitcoin country. I've never been here before. Will the event be streamed on online? No. And honestly wouldn't make sense. Number one, because there's going to be very loud music, there will be a DJ and it's not a conference where we're learning about bitcoin. This is a celebration. It's a fiesta. That's why. So yeah, it's not going to be streamed. What's the weather like in February in Puerto Rico? It's amongst the best weather you're going to find. Practically 84 degrees. And it's also the most least rainy month of Puerto Rico, which makes it the perfect vacation destination. And for the million dollar question, can I pay with a bitty? Yes, you can pay with bitcoin. I have my bitcoin address here you can send payments to. However, if you do use it, I have to manually process your ticket. So you got to let me know and actually email me a screenshot showing proof of work that you actually sent the payment. I'll confirm it and then I'll manually hook it up just like I had to do for bring facts. We already sold a few tickets and we've had people Pay already with PayPal credit cards as well as bitcoin. I prefer bitcoin. And also if you want to use the Lightning network, I can create you a lightning invoice. You just got to request it. So if you have sats sitting around and you want to utilize them, just email me, let me know or reach out to me on X. You know how to get a hold of me. But that's it. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys at the 100k Fiesta. And tickets are officially live. And there you have it. It crypto fam.
