No one knows who is making what. Unless I missed something AM has not clearly said what part of the profit is for them or RM. It is all speculation until they actually give you some info. I would hope that with selling so much AMHash they are cash positive by now or something is really off.
Not to mention mining since mid July... and the 'not needing to worry about selling BTC for some time' statement. There's gotta be some cash AND
BTC on the books somewhere.
My guess is that because Friedcat is a forward thinker, he's not waiting for the tooth fairy to pay for a Gen4 mask... That's done, and he's been saving his pennies for a massive deployment to do some serious catch-up.
After reading so many different thoughts on AM's valuation, I can't help but read Friedcat's actions as being long term, and a bit stealthy... If I had to compare AM as a company in the bitcoin space, I would still place it closer to the long term company builders that want Bitcoin to succeed, like Bitpay, than with the venture-capital backed rush to market/crash and burn entities that many have seen.
Money in the bank.. Bitcoin in the wallet... Gen 4 ready to roll.. Partners in both board design, mining, and building relationships with fabs... Not a dumb guy..
I'm not waiting for any kind of short-term div gains..those days are gone... I'm watching somebody building a rock solid foundation..
For those of you who may not have been around in the early 90s of the internet (1993+) when millions where being thrown around to grab a piece of the landscape..

Gen 4 might be AM's last chance for the brass ring, but for I'm willing to take this bet... better chances than a lottery ticket in my eyes.
