@Jhonboy - I am banking on AFC for my retirement.
Haggis - you may be right regarding hype. However, the hype allows two things - major investments (and liquidity) and - more importantly - access to markets and customers. Windows was not the best OS when it came out, yet managed to capture market share due to a lot of hype. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he focussed on the sexy nature of the product before moving on to make a killing on the OS and phones.
The point is - a lot of hype (with a good product) gives a lot of runway, a long(er) and safe(r) flight.
Watching a few videos and AB's interview, my mind was going boom boom with positive energy. Lots and lots of potential. But - that's a big but - visibility, hype and gradually rising share price would be better.
Just my thoughts. Very very keen for AFC to succeed since I hold it across my family's portfolios in ISA, trading and SIPP!!
