since bitmain opened the last batch it hasnt sold out... either they have increased production by a lot, or there is some backroom information that the big companies arent buying any letting the small ones take the hit, considering there are news about smaller chips and samsung coming to the game and a lot of people with big farms selling all their S9's; brings me some fear (since i got a order open for march) that they are either coming with a new miner or some other big news is coming out, anyone else with these thoughts ?

Considering the current price of BTC and BCH, why would you buy? Bitmain would have to cut the price in half to make it an attractive purchase.

any real gamer that believe in BTC mining would make estimations to where it is going, and would consider the low quantity when the price is high, if i were one, this would be a time to buy them, since most time getting a S9 at MRSP is not about money, is about availability

Yeah, but if they cut the price, you know what will happen, right? Difficulty will raise so quickly, that we would all wish they never decreased the price. So current price is OK

I wasn't saying I wanted them to cut the price. They could leave it as is, so the nobody buys and the diff stays where about where it is. If the diff had a negligible increase or even decrease, I'd be as happy as a puppy with two peters.

I'm just saying I wouldn't buy at that price. Apparently not a lot of others want to either, considering how long they've been available. If you want to make estimations as to where BTC is going, you're better off buying BTC than the S9 at the rate Bitmain is offering them for sale.
