“Antpool’s in a place, let’s say Foundry’s in a place, whoever, they start doing weird things…miners would just pull their hashrate away; so, where we get into bigger problems is where let’s say Foundry, and Riot, and Marathon, and Cleanspark all get a knock at the same time.”— Marshall LongMarshall Long is the Head of Architecture for Rhodium Enterprises.
