And I quickly saw there is a huge market for graphic processing units for computers in 2016, end of 2016, early 2017.
And that's how I learned that this is used for cryptocurrency mining, which at that time was...
Very wild thing.
And it became a really quick business, to be honest.
I started buying, selling compute.
And then the customers who bought all those GPUs, they didn't know how to put those GPUs to work in the garages.
So they basically started calling me back and telling me, take them back and just put them somewhere else.
So we found ourselves technically having free customers.
And we said, okay, I'm going to try to do it.
I mean, research, finding the way how to do it.
First, at least a bigger data center.
And then eventually I started building modular data centers.
Modular data center is basically a container with an electrical infrastructure inside of it.
And I started bringing the containers with that electrical infrastructure inside.
to the sources of power so we can run the computers close to where the energy is being produced versus where the energy is being delivered.
And that's how we got into it.
And then, you know, long story short, 10 years later, I'm in this business.
I've had a lot of bruises and a lot of cuts, but I'm still here.
And now it's AI.
I do believe that I jumped into this a little bit late.
