Steve, Argo is screwed, needs funding or a massive btc spike both look very unlikely. The bonds went up 11 percent yesterday tho, they only pay 73 % per annum now x;)
This has a very strong chance of going to zero and parts of it feel intentional and that’s the problem with this space I’m betting that a lot of these miners are run by persons of the same calibre or worse than PW, I don’t think he is alone in his ineptness or intentional wilful destruction of the companies they run. Once those are still standing have made it through this, I believe we will see better accounting, better management and proper transparency although these companies are tied to market rules it all seems like the Wild West in this space currently and miner ceos do what they want, a prime example was the recent SI deal with PW but never announced who they were in talks with. I’ve never seen that before, It’s all very sleazy, but hey as evidenced you time it right in this sector and you can hit those 10 x.50 x 100 x your money. I am a gambler and that’s why I!and many others are here ! But also as evidenced lots lose as well.
When the axe comes down, like we have seen at Argo and corz, money and options become severely limited very quickly for the miners. Interesting that Fred at Mara said yesterday Mike at Corz understands how to deal with fin institutions and how to restructure debt and may get out of the mess they are in, he fears PW doesn’t have that and sees bigger problems for Argo to survive.
Looking at historical trends btc bull time will be back after the halving, I’d be surprised if that trend breaks.
Will be interesting next 24 months as imho btc is going lower, 20k is amazing number for btc in its history , it’s the miners that made btc cheap, but btc doesn’t care about that, if we see 15k btc or lower in the next few months then we will see the pain I expect, it needs to flush out the pw’s etc for this sector to grow again.
