The line for the keynote at Hood Summit was out the door. The whole conference was standing in it, waiting for the first taste. Andy compared it to a New York gelato line. From DeFi trenches in 2020 to the floor at Hood Summit. We spent years learning execution, settlement, interop and data availability from some of the smartest builders in the industry. That's where we "crafted our sword." Back then, the tech was the whole story. Today, the business and the product matter more. But the reason we showed up in the first place hasn't changed. We believed in this technology from day one, and in cutting out the middleman. Standing in that line, it clicked for Andy: "This is the front end of the digital assets industry." And the person leading it? "Vlad is the main character in this industry right now, and he is one of the best we've ever had." We've come a long way, and we still have a lot of growing to do. Same mission as day one: Educate. Empower. Enrich. Higher. @andyyy @RobinhoodApp @vladtenev
