The only way our 55nm chips have a chance of selling out is if we peg the price to a fiat value (which Ken actually does) and then the price of BTC soars through the roof
I don't think so. They need to be priced competitively to the other alternatives on the market, that's all. If BTC goes through the roof, it does so for everyone and all chips rise by the same desirability factor.
Unless you are talking about market supply running out because of high BTC and the resulting high demand for
any hashable chip creating business.
Yes I am talking about market supply running out because of high BTC and the resulting high demand. That is our best (only) bet for selling our 55nm chips realistically speaking. Now if we want to add fantasy and unicorns and stuff then hell we might have some rich idiot buy all our chips for 200% Mark up.
