It would be pretty cool if ASICMINER was in peak mining form (i.e., huge dividends) in two months at the same time the next big rally is underway. That would be quite the wealth multiplier.
OTOH, sales dividends will be converted to BTC from fiat. The lower BTC is at that (those) times, the higher the BTC return will be. Mining doesn't care. So let's see Gen3 batch 1 deployed before driving BTC price up too fast
This - also because share price tends to have downward pressure during rapid BTC appreciation.
