It is clear as day that based on commitments and loans owed by the Space X prospective. IE 20 billion of the 70 billion raised has gone to pay existing debt.

We are looking at multiple rounds coming up of dilution. Demand will need to stay peaked to absorb all the new shares coming ahead

Corpus Christi faces an ever-deepening water crisis, in response to the Observer’s public information request, the city is refusing to release the latest 2026 records of the mine’s water usage. The city is appealing the Observer’s request for those records to the Texas Office of the Attorney General, citing a section of the Texas Utilities Code that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account. That’s a change from just last year, when the city provided water-usage records.

The city’s crisis has made state and national headlines amid predictions that its water demand could exceed supply as early as next summer without additional rainfall or some other water source. With drilled wells already dry and a hot-button desalination plant tabled for now, the city is readying itself for a more serious potential Level 1 Water Emergency, which would impose even more restrictions and penalties for exceeding limits. Residents already have been living under water restrictions since December 2024, curtailing activities like lawn watering and car washes. The next phase, which might come as early as December, would enforce a mandatory 25-percent reduction for residents, businesses, and large industrial users like petrochemical refineries.

As the Observer previously reported, the city was promised millions of dollars in tax revenue for what was originally a pair of 300-megawatt-capacity Bitcoin mines developed by the Dallas-based Bootstrap Energy. A 2022 presentation by then-Assistant City Secretary Andrea Gardner predicted revenues of $32 to $50 million over a 10-year period in exchange for the city’s de-annexation of the property, a decision that would enable Bootstrap to escape more than $70.5 million in franchise fees and sales tax on its electricity use.

From February 7, 2023, to January 8, 2025, mine operators paid the city just $2,639 in Payments in Lieu of Taxes fees, according to records previously obtained by the Observer via the local resident’s records request.

---

The most recent records obtained by the Observer through a public information request and a separate request indicate that the city invoiced mine operators in November 2025 for $1,631.65, and that operators paid $1,647.97 on March 6, well after the due date. Operators paid just $16.48 in April.

Now, as the city stares down a water emergency, Barrera told the Observer he’s considering asking the council to terminate the mine’s 2024 IDA prior to its end date in 2039 because the agreement hasn’t yielded the original revenues promised to the city. “Of course ’24 seems like a lifetime ago, with the year that we’ve been having with regard to water,” Barrera told the Observer. “If they’re using the water, they’re using the water, but my challenge is that we haven’t seen the return on the revenue from the IDA.”

“We need to just do our due diligence. We know that these types of companies, that they use a lot of water, and we should have been more mindful of that instead of just listening to what they had to say,” she said.

Tale as old as time, give X tax breaks to a company. They weasel out of basically all commitments and the public is on the hook to pay the bill.

Current details coming out show its more of the same. Just a 60 day cease fire to negotiate a longer term deal. Israel still fighting and we are keeping troops in the region to make sue Iran keeps up their end of the deal :lol:

Fighting through the week, announcement of a deal on Sunday before markets open on Monday. Deal never agreed to... rinse repeat

July 2nd, 2016 I was in Toronto and decided to catch the game against the Indians.

Indians were on a historic winning streak, the weather was perfect 75 and sunny. They even had the roof open.

Toronto wins the game, but Rajai Davis hits for the cycle

I would suggest you avoid fomo trades.

I would step away and realize this is how retail always loses.

There is no such think as money you can afford to lose. That's called gambling... If you want to gamble that's up to you.

If you want to invest, I think you need to step back and understand the risks.

If you stick to low cost indexing you will set yourself up for the greatest chance of success.

Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs): The company has expanded its IP into chip-level design, developing MMIC chips aimed at scaling mass-market telecommunications and cellular hardware

Everyone is selling MMIC today. Qorvo dominates this market for military applications. But they aren't the only player as I started above. MMIC is the standard, especially as AESA based radars are the frontier for new development. Skyworks etc are more for the 5g development.

Amplitech is primarily limited to extreme environments like satellite, which provides them some moat because it is expensive to get through mil standard testing for space.

That being said it limits their market because space usage is small potatoes to ground based RF solutions.

I'm just cautioning your thesis based on some addressable market that is already saturated. They aren't selling some breakthrough technology. I'm guessing their name is surfacing due to space X. But I don't see them encroaching on the dominant players in the business for standard solutions.

Their key invention is a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)

What? LNAs have been around for decades and commonly found all over the RF space.

Skyworks, broadcom, and Qualcomm all make their own and integrate directly.

Qorvo is a dominant player in the military, with more specialized solutions. NXP, infineon, and analog devices are also huge in this space.

Amplitech is very niche, and not really someone who competes with the larger players.

It's a crowded play

Sadly I would probably trust China propaganda over open AI propaganda. But it's close, they both can't be trusted.

Anyone who thinks these massive data centers are not driving up residential prices is naive.
