SourceAnd so there's still a lot of good people out here. I just think that, of course, in LA, it's very saturated, and it's very loud, and it gets the most attention. But there's tons of people that are just normal people that just want to live in safety, want to live a good life, don't want to pay a 55% tax or 50% tax.
And then Orange County, where I'm at now, and I live in LA, and I just hate going to LA. I just absolutely hate going there, and it's really sad. I used to love going there, and now I hate it.
But even now, sad to say, taxes used to just always be on our mind, but now it's just general safety. It's not even just – now I'm like – we had an 18-wheeler just ram four other cars and kill three people in Ontario, California. I grew up a half an hour from there.
We had a U-Haul up in Oakland that is backing into police officers or ICE agents, and ICE agents had to open fire and build a road. And it's like these things are not safe, and these things are – I don't want my family around. I don't want my people around.
But the thing is, I do love this state. So when I met Steve, I told him, hey, man, I'm kind of a crypto guy. I just really hope you'll be a pro-crypto guy.
That's what I told him, selfishly. And he's like, oh yeah, for sure, man. I'm working on that.
I'm like I can talk to you about that any time. But then I thought to myself, okay, I could do some more. I could do some more for California.
I am a first gen born and raised here. My father did a little bit in the Navy as a contractor. My uncle was in Vietnam.
It's kind of like they were the guys that – and people that came in here legally, and not only that, enlisted to go to war and willing to die in Vietnam. So we have that in our blood, and it's like a super honor to live in America. And it's even cooler to be from California where we used to be, which is pretty sad.
