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.
Congrats for those who survived the long bear market and invested while cheap.

Never a boring day in crypto ...

Maximalist need to pop out of their bubble.
Lot's it's happening outside BTC.






well eth diff and hashrate has maintained 98.3% of  its levels

 539 dropped to 530

check April 12 a 539 and April 20 a 530


while btc went from 171 on April 12 to  144 on April 19

A drop of almost 20%

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

more btc gets shut down.

The interesting things are how long does the power  short fall exist and does a long term choice of mining eth over btc alter this bull run.

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.
