While $29.5B is a crazy valuation we should not underestimate the powerhouse that Roblox is. It's not just some random overhyped fad. It's dominating the younger demographics right now with no signs of stopping.

I think younger demographics are an overhyped fad, tech companies are just becoming long arms of the financial sector

Roblox was released like 15 years ago. I don't think it is a fad. When users grow out of it there will be new young users to take their place.

Not familiar with this phrasing. I tried to google it but didn't turn up something I could understand. Care to explain?

Maybe he is hinting at TINA ( There Is No Alternative ).
