Close. Bitmain for example produces their own ASICs and rigs which they
mine with. Antpool is controlled by Bitmain and has a significant amount of
the hash power. The marginal cost of an ASIC chip or mining rig is low
compared to R&D and setting up of the production lines etc. For Bitmain
it=E2=80=99s relatively cheap to produce an additional mining rig.
Unfortunately I failed to make sense of your other remarks which looked
rather confused so I take the liberty to disregard them.
