Matt: 我认为Kerrisdale Capital做空比特币矿工的时机可能不佳，因为矿工们通常持有大量的比特币，而Kerrisdale的押注是矿工的股票相对于比特币价格下跌。一些矿工正在转向人工智能领域，但这两种业务并不一定匹配。
历史上，矿工一直是资本密集型的，但他们也可能成为做空的目标，因为他们是比特币价格的替代指标。
Nic: Robinhood收购Bitstamp对加密货币行业来说是一个积极的进展。Bitstamp拥有许多许可证，这代表着Robinhood在加密货币领域的全面投入。我认为这是一个明智之举，特别是考虑到Bitstamp的客户基础以及与Robinhood基础设施的协同效应。这表明即使在美国监管机构的压力下，加密货币行业也能生存和发展。
