Bitcoin Difficulty Increase what's going on ?

[The Demon Slick]

It's interesting that the news reports that China is cutting miners off of subsidized electricity, but bitmain is racking in hundreds of units a day.. Where?  Are their bribes just so thick that their power usage is immune to these new regulations?  Or the reports are just BS, maybe - I was expecting to see s9's flooding out of China as displaced miners scrambled to roi.  Again, nothing.

China is corrupt, throw a few reminbri around, everyone looks the other way.
