My hypothetical vision of the most valuable company in Bitcoin-land is not just a mining company, but instead a company that really capitalizes on Bitcoin as a PLATFORM instead of a currency - for example, enabling USD->BTC->USD transactions for significantly less than credit card fees. Then we are talking about a company with the potential to be worth many billions USD, AND with the potential to create miner fees that will help synergistically fuel its mining business. Why sit around and wait for transaction fees that may not materialize before your competition erodes all your market share - why not create the infrastructure to make Bitcoin accessible to the wider market?
I also believe the biggest mistake friedcat made was not to build cars and sell them. Cars could well be sold for bitcoin (as a PLATFORM instead of a currency), you know. Billions of dollars!!! Many transaction fees! Synergistically fuel its mining business!
You just disqualified yourself. What are you smoking? Thank you for shutting up.
Gosh, I see how silly I am, now. I might as well have said "cars", since cars are obviously just as adjacent a market to bitcoin mining as a bitcoin exchange would be!
If you don't know what I mean by "platform", look up the difference between "bitcoin" and "Bitcoin".
I already didnt get what you mean with "growth". Does that have something to do with
