TWK agreed I've always said it's all in the data. I think they will join all the companies together under one large umbrella to sell, so it could get very interesting. They can't leave it too long though, the money is made within the first 12-24 months, and they don't want to do a Yahoo. Yahoo had it all, it grew really fast and by 2000, it was worth around $125 bn. In 2002, after the dot.com bubble burst, Microsoft offered to acquire Yahoo for $44.6 bn. Yahoo were greedy and said no. In 2005, Yahoo invested $1bn in Alibaba, and that would have been worth $80bn+ but they sold it too early and in 2017, Yahoo finally sold out to Verizon for a measly $4.48bn. Cykel does not want to make that mistake!
