We have a G4 tape out, big tubes, little tubes and dividends to talk about: Which shall we?
The current bitcoin price must be really squeezing friedcats bottom line.
if FC get squeezed i cant imagine how bad are teh competitors.
I would assume about the same for most of them. I really do not think AM pays much less than any other Chinese ASIC company such as Bitmain or Scam-alon etc...
And remember, competitors don't need to pay divs for hungry shareholders, they could re-invest whole profit. So who is in better position?
Either way the company stakeholders are being payed or not being payed. Makes no difference if those stakeholders are some private entity or shareholders.
