$NIO just dropped below the price where brokers allow margin. Leveraged holders got margin calls* and had to sell whether they wanted to or not. That’s forced selling, not a verdict on the business. Once it’s done, those sellers are gone and the people left are holding shares they own outright.

**When a broker issues a margin call, the account holder has to either deposit more cash or sell shares to get back above the requirement. The deadline is usually short, often a few days and sometimes same-day. If they don’t do it in time, the broker can sell their shares for them without asking.
"The market likes clean" day 2
$RIOT and $MARA got there from opposite ends:
• RIOT cleaned up the lease side: 15-year Corsicana lease, 910 MW of critical IT, and the tenant owns and runs the compute. Jefferies upgraded to Buy with a $28 PT
• MARA cleaned up the balance sheet: debt down $1.4B YTD, every BTC-backed loan repaid, $3.8B in available liquidity, and a $500M share buyback authorized. The sites are cleared too: FERC approval for Long Ridge and City Council approval for Kearney
RIOT already has the scoreboard. MARA has the cleanup done and the power in hand at Long Ridge and Kearney. The one box left to check is a signed lease
@fgthiel is on the Horizon stage at Cantor Convergence this afternoon, and that box is what I'm listening for

🟢 $TE I'm starting a position here 🟢
After its 71% drop since I went bearish on this, I finally pulled the trigger.
Price is bouncing off the 1.618 fib extension and is showing nice bullish divergence.
Long term Wave 3 target: 854% 🚀
How to understand $MARA's Vertebrai, why it's interesting and why it warrants more discussion
Start with a simple picture. Every power site has inputs and outputs. Inputs: wind, solar, the grid, batteries. Outputs: bitcoin miners, data center load, battery charging, or selling power back to the grid. Vertebrai is the brain turning the valve between them.
MARA calls it a managed flexible load: computing equipment on site, run by software that decides moment to moment where the power should go. The faster and smarter that valve turns, the more each MW can earn. Think high-frequency trading, but for electricity.
WHY SPEED MATTERS
Power prices swing all day and can even go negative. When the grid has too much renewable power, producers get curtailed, meaning they throw generation away or sell it at a loss. Grids also value loads that can drop off instantly when supply gets tight.
Bitcoin miners are close to the perfect flexible load. They can shut off in seconds, and they can switch on to soak up cheap or wasted power. No customer is waiting on them, and no data is lost when they pause.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE DAY (made-up example numbers)
◆ 2 AM: wind is blowing, demand is low, prices go negative. Instead of curtailing, the site mines with power that would have been wasted.
◆ 2 PM: prices spike to, say, $200/MWh. Miners ramp down and more power flows to the grid at the high price.
◆ 6 PM: the grid hits a frequency event. Load drops almost instantly, and the site gets paid for being flexible.
Same MW, three different jobs in one day.
WHAT'S BEEN SHOWN SO FAR
At MARA's own 114 MW Texas wind farm, the company estimates Vertebrai cut curtailment from 46% to 22% of potential generation from April through September 2026. More of the farm's power went to productive use instead of being thrown away.
WHY IT CAN TRAVEL BEYOND MARA'S FENCES
Other renewable producers have the same curtailment problem. Data center developers often lock in power 18-24 months before their halls can use it, and they pay for much of it anyway. Flexible load can fill that gap and then step back as each hall comes online. That turns this from a cost saver into a software and services angle.
Related: MARA is separately working with TAE Power Solutions on fast-response load management and hybrid energy storage.
WHERE STRATUM V2 FITS
SV2 is the newer mining pool protocol. Connections are encrypted and authenticated, and miners can build their own block templates. In general terms, that makes it more practical to run pool-connected machines securely at remote or third-party sites, which is exactly where the opportunity to scale flexible load lives.
- This is already a very long post but if you want to keep geeking out on the topic then keep on reading or ask your bot to summarize -
1) HOW THE ENERGY TRADING WORKS
Vertebrai is MARA's managed flexible load. Its software decides, moment to moment, where the power should go. When prices go negative or too low, power goes to on-site computers. When prices recover, it scales back and more power flows to the grid. The site owner sets the MW, the hours, and the price at which it stands down.
In Texas, ERCOT saw hundreds of hours at or below $0/MWh in 2025, with West Texas the most negative. About 4.7% of wind and 6% of solar output was curtailed.
Other ways flexible load gets paid:
◆ Grid reserves: RRS and ECRS respond within 10 minutes, Non-Spin within 30. All 12 loads registered to bid into real-time dispatch are bitcoin mines
◆ Summer peaks: cutting load in the 4CP intervals avoids transmission charges worth ~$8-9/MWh
◆ Emergency reserves: ERS averaged $4.36/MWh, and mines are 64%+ of it
About 4.6 GW of Texas mining already acts like a "virtual battery."
2) WHO IT'S FOR
The proof case is MARA's own 114 MW wind farm in Hansford County, TX, with a 240 MW grid connection. From April to September 2026, MARA estimates curtailment would have been 46% without Vertebrai. With it, 22%. The on-site compute used 53% of the energy from money-losing hours.
MARA's stated targets:
◆ Wind and solar producers losing generation to curtailment
◆ Data center developers who secure power 18-24 months before they can use it, and pay for a minimum share regardless
Terms are "tailored to your site."
Separately, MARA works with TAE Power Solutions on a 10 MW battery load-management project (started June 2025) and a hybrid battery prototype shipped to MARA on June 30, 2026.
How the industry generally structures these deals (not MARA's announced plans): colocating load at a wind or solar plant, contracts to absorb curtailed power, revenue share, and pooled demand response.
3) STRATUM V2, THE WIDER PICTURE
SV2 is an upgraded mining-pool protocol: encrypted connections, ~60-70% less bandwidth, and the option for miners to build their own block templates (which takes their own node plus extra software).
MARA Foundation joined the SV2 Working Group in May 2026. Pools in the group cover ~75% of hashrate. The first block built by a miner rather than a pool came June 25, 2026 (DMND/GoMining).
Now MARA has gone past joining: on Nov 11, 2026 it mined its first SV2 block, #975369.
4) HOW AN ANALYST SHOULD VALUE IT
MW deployed x net $ per MW per year - deployment cost. Then check yield and payback.
Benchmarks for scale (NOT Vertebrai numbers):
◆ Texas battery revenue: ~$29/kW-yr in 2025, vs $56 in 2024 and $193 in 2023
◆ Riot earned $56.7M in power credits in 2025
MADE-UP numbers, just to show the math:
◆ A: 50 MW x $30K/MW-yr = $1.5M/yr. At $250K/MW to deploy: 12% yield, 8.3-yr payback
◆ B: 200 MW x $75K = $15M/yr. At $200K/MW: 38% yield, 2.7-yr payback
◆ C: 500 MW x $150K = $75M/yr. At $150K/MW: 100% yield, 1-yr payback
The spread is the point. Small changes in the inputs swing the value a lot. That's the game Vertebrai is built to play: run when power is cheap or wasted, step back when the grid pays more.
What would let investors value it for real: MW contracted, revenue or margin per MW, deal structure and length, cost per MW, hours run, and grid-program revenue.

#SABÍAS QUE CHABELO Y CANTINFLAS PROTAGONIZARON UNA PELEA A CACHETADAS EN EL CINE MEXICANO?
Este divertido encuentro ocurrió en El Extra, película estrenada en 1962, protagonizada por Mario Moreno «Cantinflas» y Alma Delia Fuentes, bajo la dirección de Miguel M. Delgado. En la cinta, Xavier López «Chabelo» interpreta a Panchito, un muchacho corpulento que se enfrenta al personaje de Cantinflas, Rogaciano, cuando este sale en defensa de unos niños. Durante la discusión, Cantinflas intenta tranquilizarlo con unas palmadas en la cara, pero Panchito responde con una sonora bofetada.
Lo curioso es que, según contó Chabelo durante un homenaje a Cantinflas en 2011, parte de la escena surgió de manera espontánea. Al terminar la grabación, el director Miguel M. Delgado le pidió que no volviera a tocar a Mario Moreno. Sin embargo, Cantinflas intervino para defender al joven actor y le dijo: «¡No, déjalo, déjalo que me toque!». Así quedó inmortalizada una de las escenas más simpáticas entre dos grandes figuras de la comedia mexicana.

1 call de NVIDIA a $165 cuesta $1,000.
1 put de NVIDIA a $165 cuesta $1,000.
Si compro los dos, invierto $2,000.
Si NVIDIA cae a $125, gano $2,000. Si sube a $205, también gano $2,000.
Si se queda quieta, pierdo los $2,000.
Eso es un straddle.
¿Te acuerdas del departamento que apartabas por $50 mil? Eso era un call.
¿Y del coche que la agencia te recompraba a precio fijo? Eso era un put.
(Si no sabes de qué hablo, revisa los posts citados.)
Un straddle es tener las dos cosas al mismo tiempo, al mismo precio.
No apuestas a que sube ni a que baja. Apuestas a que se moverá a alguna direción. Con mucha fuerza.
Veámoslo con NVIDIA:
- Strike $165: el mismo para el call y el put, cerca del precio actual
- Prima $20 por acción × 100 = $2,000: lo que pago por los dos derechos
- Vencimiento: la misma fecha para los dos
- Dos breakevens: $145 y $185. Abajo de $145 o arriba de $185 gano; en medio, pierdo
Take personal:
Jensen Huang acaba de renunciar como CEO de NVIDIA, después de 33 años construyendo la empresa.
Colette Kress, la CFO, queda como CEO interina mientras el consejo busca un reemplazo.
Hoy la acción cae ~5% y ya está ~31% abajo de su máximo de octubre.
Y desde aquí hay dos caminos:
↓ Para abajo: el mercado le pone precio a una NVIDIA sin su fundador y director, primera vez en 33 años.
Ni Huang ni el consejo dicen todavía quién sigue, la incertidumbre es el peor enemigo del precio.
↑ Para arriba: si el consejo nombra a alguien con un historial de éxito comprobado, el mercado puede leerlo como el fin del riesgo y rebotar fuerte.
Y en medio de todo, el 17 de noviembre NVIDIA reporta resultados.
Yo no sé hacia dónde va.
Pero sí creo que se va a mover.
Para eso, el straddle puede ser tu mejor compañero.
Ojo: el straddle es caro.
Si NVIDIA se queda entre $145 y $185, pierdo.
Y si se queda en $165, pierdo los $2,000 completos.
Call: ganas si sube.
Put: ganas si baja.
Straddle: ganas si se mueve con fuerza.
(Primas y strike son un ejemplo ilustrativo. Las opciones implican riesgo real de pérdida.)
