Riot Platforms: I Doubt It Will Ever Be A Buy
Summary
- Riot Platforms is one of the largest bitcoin miners and has developed one of the most cost-effective systems for mining it.
- Despite this, operating results have consistently been a loss, given the capital-intensive nature of this business.
- Bitcoin's design to resist effects of inflation makes the business difficult to scale profitably.
