Antminer L9: about 24,000–26,000 RMB/unit;  
IceRiver KS3: about 4,000–13,000 RMB/unit;  

The KS3 is an older generation Kaspa miner, not worth much, but this batch of goods is probably worth around ten million, and the sentence is a bit harsh."

 bag costs around $37k right now

But you don't have to buy it all in one swoop, you can DCA and take your sweet time as we're still in the sidelining of the bear market

At ATH prices, a 1M bag was worth $200k

Next cycle, I'd say at least $500k"
