They need customer's money to fund their operations.

Oh look, someone telling Windows users to just up and switch to Linux without context/situational analysis. Never seen that before.

There are no ASIC vendors. However there is one crafty individual who's slowly putting them all online for his own benefit.

You would get customers if you would have established a reputation first

Why, do you feel he's not legit?

I'll give $1 cash money to the first end user who can verify that it exists.

Throughout history you will find people saying that we are in complete control of our existence. I do not believe they are wrong.
Such thinking gives freedom a whole new meaning--yet it is very liberating. Victimization becomes a foreign concept in such a world.  

what about random bad luck (eg being in the wrong place at the wrong time)?
The esoteric school of thought I believe baron was referring to is one where we are essentially "god" or are directly of "god": We choose our lives and the terms of our existence through whatever means before our birth on this plane of existence. Thus, any transgressions against our perceived happiness or well-being have already been accepted by ourselves, random or otherwise.

Feel free to correct me, Baron, if I am misinterpreting your statement.  

That's essentially what I'm saying, yes. Maybe minus the "choose your reincarnation story" part.

Though the hardline inner skeptic and confirmation-bias hater in me still tries to refuse to accept it, fuck dude...there's "luck" and then there's "Why does all this seemingly random stuff keep lining up in my favor constantly?". Blah blah, The Secret bullshit, whatever...

What's really weird is thinking about something randomly but on a very specific topic the day before, then you find some internet article mentioning it...or a friend will randomly bring the subject up...

Well, we can nitpick and say it only applies to things you are in direct control of...or that you are actually in control of all the variables in both a conscious and sub-conscious way.

Nevertheless, I've found in my life experience that if I'm in the mindset and motions for "good luck", it seems to find me.

"only the first few people will ever see a ROI on their units"

Dafuq? He's gotta be dumb to reveal that (obvious) fact about the business model.

lolololol

When something seems to be to good to be true, it almost always is.  I suppose this might not be a scam, but financially the math doesn't work out.  You either haven't thought this through and are putting yourself in a position to be scammed, or you are attempting a scam yourself.

A cashiers check overnighted from Nigeria is legit, right?

Did anyone but people using stolen credit cards and bank accounts buy at that price?

You are so conveniently disillusioned.  Smiley

Well, at least I'm trying to make it less seedy.

Well, it's just the same logic circuits over and over again, isn't it?

And it's kind of hard to tell anyways without a very high-res image...

The problem with taking in as much revenue as he would through Bitcoin is cashing it out. Totally impossible today, even if you utilized all the on and off-exchange markets...including Coinabul.

I don't think that's an accurate assumption. You forget that with the increased demand in order to pay for his service there would likely be an increased volume of trading..

Right, but it would take some time to acclimate to cashing out such huge amounts. People already have issues with Mt.Gox paying them in a reasonable amount of time...
