According to reports, Tesla's investment in Bitcoin also faced losses after the price of Bitcoin plummeted.
Bitcoin fell to $33,046 on Monday, a six-month low, while Tesla bought $1.5 billion early last year at around $35,000, already below the price when the Tesla giant bought $1.5 billion.
The latest data from cryptocurrency websites shows that the recent plunge has caused Tesla's investment to shrink to $1.44 billion, and while Tesla sold some bitcoin last year, the current value of the remainder should already be below the bid price.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last year that the company decided to hold some of the company's cash in the form of bitcoin because such assets are better than cash. Tesla also briefly accepted bitcoin payments, but then terminated due to concerns about the impact the cryptocurrency would have on the environment. Musk said that once the share of renewable energy in the bitcoin mining process increases by 50%, the company will accept bitcoin payments again.
Do cryptocurrencies really have the same value as fiat currencies? Musk, who has been hyping all day, must know that even Tesla car production has not reached 50% clean energy, and in turn, it is too ironic to require the environmental protection of Bitcoin mining? Another round of leeks was harvested, and the remaining sober people would not be easily fooled again.
Three months after the launch, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are still reportedly in high demand and out of stock, and in several major markets at Apple, the shipping dates of the two devices have been extended to multiple weeks.
In the U.S., the basic 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip is estimated to have an estimated shipping time of three to four weeks, and the 14-inch MacBook Pro with a higher-end M1 Pro or M1 Max chip faces a longer wait until at least the beginning of March.
There are several main reasons why the MacBook Pro is still long to ship, first apple continues to suffer from a global chip shortage, the company lost $6 billion last quarter, pandemic-related restrictions may have limited product production, coupled with a major redesign of the latest laptop, the demand is high.
Apple intends to launch a number of new products in 2022, including new iMac and other Mac products, but in terms of the current chip supply situation is really not optimistic, if the chip shortage is not alleviated, Apple in order to catch up with the spring conference, may delay the official sale time again and again, which has a lot of harm to its entire product layout.
