I am convinced James is the only Crypto KZbinr who actually knows what he's talking about. Everyone else is just guessing.

[@c.c.blackwell9986]

He is the man for sure….. I love that he doesn’t pump stuff and is upfront about his portfolio.

[@InvestAnswers]

thank you for that. 35 years in finance :D helps

[@milesinaz6027]

Agree….

[@veetron06]

Agreed

[@ShadowBoxer5669]

Not the only but one of a few

[@Kpglory]

James is better than 99% of informants out there 😊

[@InvestAnswers]

Informant klingt, als wäre ich ein Spion mit Kompromat.

[@Rob-bq6ek]

For the content he presents, he's unmatched.

[@joeymisa5169]

tell me.... Who's that 1% that's better? I reckon, I haven't found someone better.

[@wagabond2976]

@@joeymisa5169made the same comment lol now deleted, gotta have fun

[@JV-nm1kl]

He's guessing just as much as all do. And....nothing happened.

[@CowboyInTheJungle21]

James your Bitcoin content is superior to anyone Ive seen!

[@InvestAnswers]

Thanks James..Great info

[@RollingStoneRobin]

Very valuable info. Thank for all the good work!

[@Moonreach]

Awesome as always. Thanks James

[@burnt__moon]

Love the show james, I have a suggestion for you I think it would be beneficial to maybe add a “AI business” category because some miners are allocating a portion of their facilities to AI business for example BTBT has a massive portion of there business in AI

[@victorpaternoster4706]

Great presentation, data compilation and analysis. Thank you!

[@mopbotsworkshop5477]

This is such an incredible analysis. Nobody goes through as many layers of data as you do.

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks James great job

[@smithjan1409]

James is the best in crypto planet,❤

[@rdm22]

I love all your miner Videos!! thanks James.

[@RiskOnInvestor]

Nice one James! Your analysis broadly aligns with mine, only I have RIOT top of the pack and been buying in. They energised the first phase of their new facility yesterday so in the next month or two we'll start to see the extra hash showing up in their results, just in time for the post halving. They also have a ridiculously large cash position ($600m) with their CapEx funded for the year. Shame they keep diluting for more cash though

[@joannegrace6811]

Thanks for update

[@DIY_Capital]

Thanks James

[@SR-ki4js]

Another amazingly valuable video! THANK YOU, JAMES!!

[@Sol_Bull]

Outstanding work! You won me over on the minor debate. Cheers. Thanks again

[@avnergazit2254]

James. Wonderful analysis of the mining industry. Thanks for this priceless information which I know is time consuming. I hold several miners stock. Mainly holding CLSK . Unfortunately hold some "dogs" like Argo 😢.... Interesting times ahead. Thanks again for all the effort you and your team do... Hoping also that TSLA roars back soon as it has been a big disappointment over the past year.

[@Limbicsystem.3109]

Love your videos. Thanks for your daily updates

[@InvestAnswers]

You are so welcome!

[@IamT26]

Thanks James!

[@andreakostek678]

Love the Miner Episodes, James. Thank you. I own the Top 4 as per your weighting. This was so informative. Appreciate your work so much.

[@johankirsten6238]

Fantastic analysis! Thanks.

[@satsoverpence]

Thank you James!

[@1HundredP]

Much appreciated James and IA community!

[@KBCAU]

This information is second to none, Thank you again James, quality stuff👏🏻

[@BlockchainJames]

Just gotta say thank you sir for taking all the time and effort you put in to give such good information. You're about the only KZbinr who does the research and shows the work with charts and graphs in such detail. Very much appreciated!! 🙏

[@DTechman91]

As always a great presentation. Had to wait to get home and see all the charts on the big screen. I was curious you mention GRYP in the Utilization table but I did not see in any others. I have recently picked some of this up. While they are smaller they seem to be making some of the right choices of low energy costs, buying more efficient rigs, and issuing stock when needed and holding on to BTC. Maybe too small to survive alone but with a $53.93M market cap and a low breakeven mining cost. They seem to have room to grow and maybe a buy later for a bigger company? Thanks as always

[@jommy4867]

Super useful video. Thanks!

[@itsRuben339]

Great analysis! So much data, love it :)

[@GMGains]

You shashed it, James, as always. Your Miner updates are second to none Keep it up, bud.😊

[@rudolphteperberry3888]

Can't tell if this is the best miner video yet or I just understand the data better every time! Either way this is the best channel on youtube ✌

[@InvestAnswers]

Wow, thanks!

thanks much james

[@CarpeDiemPatricia]

❤ Thank You. Happy weekend.

[@InvestAnswers]

Thank you too

[@tebanjose6928]

Love this channel so much Cleanspark was such a winner for me thanks James!

[@bob54958]

Great data as always James, I hope to see PDFI Prophecy Defi Inc who holds the top Miners /Alts finally get off the bottoms of the chart at .02 with this 12-18 month Crypto Bull happening.

[@sjengie6671]

Hi, thanks for all the data crunching each and every day. What about the bitcoin network fee? Doubling that could balance supply and demand?

[@dennysheldon1682]

Was just able to listen to this. Your Bitcoin Miner updates NEVER disappoint! Love the new Cash-To-Debt & Breakeven charts and totally makes sense. I own RIOT as well as BITF. Thanks so much James!! 🙏

[@jameswestergaard9793]

This is a great over view of everything, would like to see your in-depth analysis of CYPHER MINING vs Cleanspark or riot or Marathon...

[@Soxieaus]

Amazing stuff🎉

[@Jackjohnson_1135]

Really enjoy your content James some great stuff you and your team makes. I believe in bitcoin bought in at $69,000 put $15000 maybe bought in too late again this time. Trying not to be too negative. But wonder if we are in the end of the bull run. Just with all chaos right now wonder if it will ever go back up or he another 4 yrs?

[@chlovado]

James, you are a legend. Thank Goodness you came into the Crypto Content space otherwise I would still be watching other channels letting them shill garbage and talk about 15 Crypto’s every episode and once one pumped they would give themselves credit saying “I told you all about that project a few weeks ago” , yea if you talk about 150 crypto’s a month without any analysis they will eventually pump. Unless it’s XRP, still waiting for that Ponzi to get to ATH’s 🙄🙄

[@tedbrenner4097]

Loved the pulaski James!

[@mattp165]

James, you’re the man! Thank you for all that you do 🙏🏼

[@Grubbygund]

Thanks James for such a comprehensive miner video! Only you have the best KPI in the internet, in terms of miners!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@audioeye2803]

Thank you James

[@Steveb86]

Absolutely LOVE these videos James & team. Plz keep them up! 🙏. I know how difficult these are with all the changing numbers and difficult info to gather. One thing I noticed that was clearly wrong though was the HUT 8 BTC held/market cap. It's substantially higher than 60%. Most of their market cap currently is simply their HODL bag. Cheers!

[@InvestAnswers]

Thank you! Will do!

[@anthonycook958]

Nice work!

[@starrycoyote]

Thanks for this:) So much data crunched! Will be interesting to see what happens🥳 Hope btc makes the next leg up to keep the companies that secure the network in the green:):):)

[@robertmarking]

Thanks Jimmy

[@indieguruge]

Data and information you’re presenting is second to none! Thank you James!

[@InvestAnswers]

My pleasure!

[@AD-wb5eg]

Great analysis! Thanks

[@InvestAnswers]

My pleasure!

[@wagabond2976]

Depending on the size of the bull run(the sth of BTC) the weighing is likely to be skewed slightly. Ie the hodl amount can skyrocket / jump start the valuation within 1 qtr thus adding to volatility.

[@michaelgf8840]

great stuff

[@LettuceHands]

Thank you for these videos. It I am not sure if it is hidden in any of your metrics, but I would think "Production Costs/Bitcoin produced" would be a good one. For instance people that pay next to nothing for power would have a huge advantage.

[@gordondkrbavac6861]

❤Thankyou So much James, Exceptional ❤

[@kamakazie-kronos668]

I think it’s awesome that you continue to share your knowledge. Thank you James .

[@InvestAnswers]

I appreciate that!

[@matthewranisau6227]

Hey thanks for all your work you’ve been a huge help in how I invest. Do you think where miners are geographically located - has a factor? Example- concentration in one country or globally spread out? Thanks!

[@NatJoJoCat]

Thank you james

[@dentistlagunahills]

James - incredible content! The graphs showing performance / BTC were awesome. What is your take on whole life cash value life insurance with guaranteed dividends. Its pretty obvious BTC far exceeds the value

[@stevec3932]

Insane information. James is the best, hands down!

[@CryptoTikibro]

Excellent work

[@InvestAnswers]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mikelasjo6507]

Ive been accumulating CORZ. I like the direction they are headed!!!

[@JerryGensler8694]

James is by far the smartest crypto youtuber out there, its not even close. He explains things and backs it up with data. Data doesn't care about your feelings and has no emotion. Just facts!
