He makes some mistakes I think, but he undoubtedly has built a major business. - Bibnain also plans to court Al, which justifies a greater valuation in the future even if the crypto mining market becomes more competitive - If/When it IPOs, it will be the best way for people who don't want to own bitcoin/crypto to get exposure to cryptocurrency.
