ASIC Manufacturer CoinTerra Files for Bankruptcy
27 Jan2015
The Cointerra bankruptcy protection form has apparently been filed on January 24th with estimated assets between 10 and 50 million USD and similar estimate on liabilities. The reason for this outcome most likely lies in the too optimistic plans of the company that apparently did not involve a situation where the Bitcoin exchange could get back down to $200 USD. A few months ago the company was still making plans for next generation of ASIC miners based on 16nm process and getting ready for the future. Some month prior to that they have tried to get into the large scale cloud hosting operations, however their plans for that probably did not get that well either. This should come as a warning to other crypto currency focused companies to make their business plans more carefully in order to avoid following the same path as CoinTerra.

Well O:- )
Considering that new equipment for ASIC mining of BTC will be down by 75% this year; only those companies who have cash reserves will be around for block halving in 2016. Companies like AMhash and Genisis Mining and Bitman look to be in good shape, but many other outfits will shutdown /:)
