I'm really glad this is what the article was about. So many mining companies are getting wrecked because they bought ASICs with debt. And then they're forced to sell the ASICs and theri BTC when the price of BTC dips. I hope mining companies learn this lesson.

The part at the end about Bitcoin mining not being a part of the tech industry is very apt. I would go further and say that Bitcoin itself is also not a part of the tech industry. Unlike a website or a phone app, changing Bitcoin on a dime would be a really bad idea. (Software surrounding Bitcoin can be safely changed rapidly, though.)

However, changing Bitcoin is essentially impossible, as BCH and BSV have proven. So, attempts to change it lead to unavoidable failure. Since you can't drag Bitcoin into the tech industry, the tech industry created shitcoins as simulacra of Bitcoin. And reality will eventually bleed into the tech industry and reek havoc on the shitcoin companies.
