I would say that I separate Bitcoin from the others because Bitcoin really has the properties of a commodity. First of all, there was never a price set for Bitcoin. It really emerged organically from the community. There was no emission of Bitcoin. It was created, I would say, on the Internet, and it really grew organically, so there was never a launch like there was for most of the cryptocurrencies. For example, the second-biggest cryptocurrency, Ether, was launched based on what we call an ICO—initial coin offering. Now regulators are looking at those activities that are probably the emission of securities, because they're raising capital to launch a technology. Bitcoin is different because it never raised money. It really grew organically, and adoption grew organically as well. There was never a price set for the commodity. It really behaves like a virtual commodity such as gold.
