When we talk about Bitmain, non step will be taken for any positive changes, no, all their step means trying and wish of increasing profit, being more shady. Well, we all know what Bitmain is.
To be fair I still don't understand why they plan to make their financial situation transparent? What's happening around them? Are they changing their attitudes to change their situation? lol
Well, they're a company, of course profit is their #1 motivator, just like every other company out there, including bitcoin.com, blockstream, lightning labs, nChain and so on.
I think they're confident in their ability to reveal a nice recovery, so they're going to release the numbers.
They want to be transparent because it will show them in a better light than news articles will.
