JPMorgan: Core Scientific’s Fire Sale Establishes Bitcoin Miner Valuation Floor

The takeaway? Even in crypto winter, infrastructure matters. Those ASICs humming away in warehouses now have a price anchor. Whether that's comforting or terrifying depends on your cost basis.
One banker's trash becomes another's treasure—especially when you can mark it to 'market' with someone else's desperation.
