so he just paid all income from batch 1 for producing batch 2, and all income from batch 2 will be used for producing batch 3 etc?
Yes, that is how I am guessing it will happen. If we guess batch 2 is 20PH being sold at $0.5/gh that would earn ~$10,000,000 which would be enough to purchase 50PH worth of wafers which could then be sold for $25,000,000.
Basically turning $4 million in to $25 million.
*Numbers are extremely approximate but I think it shows why reinvestment is a good idea.
I think the question is, have we entered in an infinite loop of reinvestments, or someday those gains will be paid as dividends?
What happened to those aggressive dividends?
