Some of Vinay comments last night.
A lot of the other companies in the NFT space have raised *extremely* large amounts of money on very, very thin product plans. We recognise bubble thinking. I'm not 100% sure the "just take the money" approach produces much working product in the long run, but people do their way.
What we're planning on doing is this: we're going to keep putting great physical assets on chain until the NFT space wakes up and says "oh my god this is *exactly* how the blockchain takes over the world: ACTUAL GOODS AND SERVICES!"
And at that point, fundraising will be easy.
You ask me when that awakening moment will happen, I'd say "two more weeks."
Oh, and we're CO2 offsetting physical gold mining too *right now* - buy gold with the CO2 offsets for the gold mining, and the Ethereum gas.

I sort of feel this is the last calm I get before a five year storm of constant, continual, explosive growth as the world's valuable physical assets pour into the platform which gives them the best possible trading environment: secure, trusted, reliable, safe.
Ethereum grows up.
This technology has always been about *the real world* but we lacked the *bridges* to get at it: exchanges pulled dollars into the blockchain, but there was very little equivalent machinery to get from the blockchain back out into the real world to start repairing the real world.
