Don't know if rainy season in China will save the days for those farms.
They probably struggle to relocate ASAP. Look like they holding assets for now.
Market didn't surge with gears for sales.
BTC bull run with ASIC shortage combined with a diff drop it's a wet dream for a miner.

539 dropped to 530

It reflects a power shortage in China and faced with the choice of shutting down
btc which makes 40 bucks for 3300 watts
eth which makes 324 bucks for 3300 watts

Looks like a miner needs to be able to jump around and have
LTC/DOGE asic mining gear
SHA asic mining gear
GPU mining gear.
ETH asic mining gear.
To be able to adjust.
Interesting to think that being a nimble generalist is best for today.
