i suspect that asicminer is being devalued on purpose.. but what do i know?
my guess: TAT posted a reply from friedcat that hints at statements coming later (financials on July 23rd) - and says that Rockxie's statements (which mentioned July 10 for blades) had dates that were unofficial.
For speculation, you might want to ask in the speculation thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-speculation-thread-235763. This thread is about BTC-TC.
That's odd, I could have sworn this particular thread is for discussing [BTCTC][[ASICMINER-PT]] - Public trading of ASICMINER shares as the name of the title suggests,
And that this: [BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange w/ Options, DRIP, 2FA, API, CSV, etc. is the thread about BTC-TC.
...my bad.
