6:37 am
innovation and efficiencies, which everybody agrees are tangible, from the theoretical underpinning or lack of theoretical underpinning? >> absolutely. within a year or two, when you use something that is based on bitcoin technology, you won't even know you're using bitcoin. you'll be on bloomberg businessweek page by page and all you delete -- and i had to do is log in with coin-based technology. when you money remittance to mexico, the philippines, you will just be paying two percent and set up 10%. the word bitcoin won't be even mentioned. the companies that are emerging at a very rapid pace are going to put it: in the black box behind the current so the consumer just gets a benefit and does not have to worry about the volatility. a, thank you for joining us.
