12.5 btc is released every 10mins. There is a LIMITED amount of btc that can be mined. More machines just means less btc per machine. So, it does not become more profitable to mine lol. It becomes less profitable.
And if there were MORE manufacturers, this means more machines are pre-ordered and more machines will be deployed after 2 months have passed......thats not good.
Right now, difficulty will continue to increase because pre-ordered machines from 2 months are coming online.
If Samsung were operational ans had taken orders 2 months ago, more would be deployed now.....thats not good.
I see you're still busy being a retard.

He is not a retard, he just wants to protect his income.
Screw free market, screw anti trust laws, forget about the whole purpose of Bitcoin.

This is just greed beyond the levels the usually retards here can spawn.
They finally realized it's a business for them, should they realize that a few years earlier, the market is all theirs.
The timing? were they waiting for BTC to crash, the way it has now.?
With all their resources, and this is the best they can do.
Do they know something we don't.
There was no timing!
Chips are not made like

It takes months from the start, planning till you actually have the wafers ready and build miners.
