Hot Take
The upcoming launch of Bitmain’s Antminer S21 at the 2023 WDMS in Hong Kong is highly anticipated in the crypto community. With its energy efficiency and potential discounts for buyers, the S21 has the potential to revolutionize the mining industry. Bitmain’s competitors, like Microbt, have set a high bar with their own mining machines, but Bitmain’s reputation and track record make the S21 an exciting prospect for crypto enthusiasts.
