payment systems, maybe more money from understanding customers better. more money from providing other banking services. payment costs are going to keep going down. the profits from this business will go down. the service to customers is going to improve. that is a good thing. it has always been the case in financial services that the banks and nonbanks innovate. this innovation, they cut currency innovation, is pushing others. this generation of cryptocurrencies is not the answer to their questions. for more thoughts on the comments and the crypto space, let's go live to london where caroline hyde is 10 by. what do you think of the fact that he seems to believe in the underlying power of the technology but doesn't necessarily believe it is good as a cash alternative? caroline: exactly. in one way, he is quite damning,
