My dad runs a company in Wuhan and during the entire 76 days of lockdown he didn’t lay off a single employee and paid salaries as usual.
Asked him why and he said he’s just taking his fair share of responsibility for a society in crisis. Super proud of him.

This is a highly confusing tweet... the video clip itself is dated 2017 and has nothing to do with blockchain... the CCTV1 TV program talks about frauds UNDER THE PRETENSE of blockchain/cryptocurrencies but not cryptocurrencies per se... cc:
@ChengYilun
JUST IN 🤭🤭🤭
Today CCTV1 (CCP official channel) featured another investigative work of “cryptocurrency” on 焦点访谈, which I would considered 60 minutes or even higher profile TV program
TL;DR - cryptocurrency is unregistered security, financial fraud and illegal ponzi

1) In down cycle, miners tend to hold on to their BTC and taking out loans to pay for operational expense
2) if breakeven is $6500, after halving BTC price needs to be $13K for miners to survive
3) if not, miners carry high default risk
4) lenders unwilling to work w/ miners
As concerns over crypto credit bubble mount, miners appear to be particularly at risk
