3 months ago the Bitcoin mining revenue wasn't a billion dollars a year. So no.
You're misunderstanding, also - it wouldn't be an Intel miner. It'd be an Intel ASIC - the actual miner (PCB, cooling solution, PSU, etc) would be assembled by other companies (or enterprising individuals), and those entities would be Intel's customers.
I know that...... we've been discussing vertical integration all along.... no need to explain the obvious.
I meant Intel miners the same way we use Intel PCs, yet we all know we're referring to the chip. Did you really need this explained or were you just trying to get me down?
Anyway, so according to you, if BTC price remains at these levels, it is safe to expect Intel
powered miners in what? 3 months?
I just don't see it.
