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.

The desirability of any chip is not based on it's clock speed but on it's value on the MH/s/$ scale (with GH/W being important)

You could bring out a 8nm ASIC but if it costs 500% more than a 28nm chip but only does 150% more hashing then no-one will buy it.

Our 55nm just needs to be cheap, if they are they will sell. No unicorns need to be employed in this venture.

Are they going to be cheap though? You have no idea. You guys make estimates on the most vague Ideas. Ken can come on here and ONLY say "Don't worry guys I have a plan" and you guys will be on here an hour later with strategic planning, estimates of ROI, share value, and an info graphic and some pie charts with the title "We're gonna be Rich!" and "To the Moon!".

...and then "you other guys" come with nothing except "you're all doomed", "Ken's a cheat" and "Unicorns and Rainbows" so w/e.

Thankfully I fall in neither category. I'm a realist, I think this company will pay off for me but I'm not gonna cheer lead it all the way to the finish line. I'm going to scrutinize all the bullshit that hits this fan. You can ask anyone here, have I said "Fuck this company is gonna fail, omg were doomed."? Nope, check my entire post history.
