A recurring theme among the industry participants we spoke with is the presence of an inverse correlation&#xA;between those with access to capital and true operational chops. The most profligate issuers of stock paper over their mistakes, chase growth without a disciplined eye toward cost, and have&#xA;executives featuring financial rather than technical backgrounds – a recipe for failure long-term.&#xA;We believe Riot is precisely such a company. The inability to efficiently produce bitcoin on a per share basis undermines the sole fundamental reason to own a miner versus bitcoin. Riot shares may periodically spasm during periods of bitcoin excitement, but over the long-term, its true&#xA;nature as that of a basic manufacturing company whose only competitive advantage is the ability to manufacture more stock at a whim will only disappoint shareholders who will regret not simply buying bitcoin.”&#xA;&#xA;https://www.kerrisdalecap.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/RIOT-Kerrisdale.pdf</html></oembed>
