Expert sees crisis as an opportunity for miners



 The decisions crypto companies make during the crisis lay the foundation for their long-term success in the future. In this context, Fanny Philip, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Canadian mining company Sato Technologies, reveals what it takes to survive the bear market and successfully shape the next bull run.


The mining expert spoke to Cointelegraph at the Surfin' Bitcoin 2022 conference in France. Philip believes that the bear market is the best opportunity for crypto companies to build and learn.


The mining company Sato has been listed on the Canadian stock exchange Toronto Stock Exchange (TSXV) since September 2021 and is primarily active in mining Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ).


Philip explained to Cointelegraph the difficulties her firm had in initially entering the market, despite it occurring in a bull market.


The high demand for crypto mining in the Canadian province of Quebec, where the company was initially based, led to a ban on new mining companies and a hostile attitude among the regional population. Added to this was the corona crisis, which had caused additional “difficulties in procuring hardware”.


On the other hand, when asked what effects the current bear market is having on business, the expert was much more positive. The crisis could also offer opportunities:


“The crisis is perfect for building. For us, the bear market is a hardware store.”

Philip also explains to us the interactions between the Bitcoin price, mining and the procurement of mining hardware:


“When the bitcoin price is low, you have to mine more. However, you have to buy more equipment to do that, but since the acquisition cost of it depends on the course, the price of equipment goes down proportionately.”


These factors, in turn, make it possible for the company to be built up and expanded during the crisis, which is why Sato Technologies is clearly in a development phase, according to Philip.


The new cooperation with Foundry Digital LLC (Foundry) provides practical proof of this. The deal between the two companies will allow Sato to operate up to 4,300 additional mining rigs in its Quebec data center, all powered by renewable energy.


Sato uses its mining capacities mainly for the mining of market leader BTC, but ETH is also produced proportionately.


When asked about the strategy for the upcoming Ethereum merge, Philip wants to focus on more diversification in the future:


"No one really knows what's going to happen. So we want to diversify more. Mining is our main business, but we also develop applications for the Lightning Network, for example.”

But here, too, the expert finally emphasizes that the merge can be an opportunity to examine all new possibilities within the Ethereum ecosystem and to reposition oneself. "It's all part of an evolution," Philip sums up.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
