 The uncertainties regarding legal and regulatory requirements relating to cryptocurrencies or transactions using cryptocurrencies,
as well as potential accounting and tax issues or other requirements relating to cryptocurrencies, could have a material adverse effect
on our business.

We
may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights, and we may infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, which could result
in costly litigation.

Our
future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure that we
will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property and technology without our authorization. We also rely on
trade secrets, common law trademark rights, and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment,
and license agreements with employees, consultants, third-party developers, licensees, and customers. Our protective measures for these
intangible assets afford only limited protection from illegal actors and may be flawed or become inadequate with the passage of time.

Policing
unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation
may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trademarks or trade secrets that we may obtain,
or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion
of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.

In
recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving intellectual property rights. In particular, there
has been an increase in the filing of lawsuits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into
entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such lawsuits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may
allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights,
is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event that we become involved in such a lawsuit in the future and receive an
adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages, and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the intellectual property
in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives.
