Do they see something in BCH? Why not BTC?
Bitmain is owned by jihan wu and we know jihan wu just big supporter or can be considered as the people backed the bitcoin cash with roger ver too. Jihan wu against the blockstream and hate the bitcoin. that's why jihan has an intention to replace the bitcoin with bitcoin cash. That's why bitmain only accept the bitcoin cash to make the more users of the bitcoin cash itself.
This just seems hypocritical seeing they sell Bitcoin miners... But I believe you are absolutely correct.. Some HODLERS of BCH would have got some great deals on miners today then am I right?
