I want this to be the direction we go in.
This time is different is actually true.
Chip shortage caused an inability to build and sell a shit ton of gear.
Now a "power" or farm shortage has caused an inability to mine with gear on hand.
Thus getting coins via mining is easier.
I now am running a mine of about 1700 x 0.00000927 x 30 = .47277 coins a month that is divided among a few people and bills
When the diff was 25.05 we did 0.26988 coins a month.
The major play happening is being done by hashrate drop.
look at this from the point of a big corporation controlling huge mining facilities.
if they had 1.7 eh vs 1.7ph they now earn
.47277 x 1000 = 472.77 coins a month
vs
.26988 x 1000 = 269.88 coin a month
I can assure you bitmain has more the the 1.7eh I just mentioned.
They did claim 10% of the worlds hash which would have been over
17eh
If their strategy was to have that out of china and then shut their china clouds down that they rented to smaller players.
that 17eh out of China could be in play
and they would be earning 4727.7 coins a month vs 2698.8 coins per month.
So yeah it is a different thing this time.
Could Be very good.
