This is good news that someone outside China is trying to compete. However, just wonder how much he will be paying to build the mining site and how long it will take to be up and running? With the reward being halved just a few days ago, maybe this is not a profit driven mission?
I think John McAfee could still profit, as long as he can have minimal power to used, like in the case of renewable energy plus with this halving, some miner will discourage to ine maybe

This man is wealthy, and I think he is on spending spree
