## Quote — verbatim

> You think about where AI is going, the spend in the next five years is expected to be $1.5 trillion, a trillion with a T, right? That's $1 trillion is $1,000 billion. And I thought the market cap was, what, $200 million? So if you look at room for growth, there is quite a lot.

Explaining why AKT's price action didn't faze him (he says he still holds his original developer allocation); explicitly caveated "none of this is financial advice."
