Pure Play Opportunity

After reading a massive bunch of garbage at the top of the forum I decided to instead dig deep into the competitive space to figure out who has been investing in the companies that are also developing A.I chips. It's been stated many times by the company that BrainChip is a "pure play" artificial intelligence company which offers a potential shareholder an opportunity to buy into one of the fastest growing industries on the planet.

Artificial Intelligence has estimates projecting the global market for AI semiconductors is predicted to reach US$117.9 billion by 2030.




As you can see below, to invest in artificial intelligence - you either need to take a big bite of an existing behemoth like Intel or IBM to get a small slice of the pie, or invest multiple millions into one of the other non-public companies, like Graimatterr, Syntiant or Rain neuromorphics. BrainChip offers a unique opportunity to invest directly in Artificial Intelligence and specifically neuromorphic processors. Investing in one of the existing behemoths means you are investing into everything that company is doing and not specifically the A.I technologies it is developing. There was a question about FOMO and the psychology behind investing in this stock. It is my understanding that the "pure play" aspect of this company is one of the key factors in the FOMO.
