Just like how the neptune was a good deal in November? Or like how the monarch was a great deal in August? Or hashfast? Or blackarrow? Or cointerra?
Judging by
other's failure has nothing to do with the future.
You chose to take the unnecessary risk of preordering hardware 5 months away. Historically there has never been a preorder which ended up cheaper than in stock hardware. Maybe this is your first time being suckered in to preorders, but please don't encourage noobs to make the same mistake.
Wouldn't you agree the best decision at the moment would have been to buy a few bitmain s1s? Just about all S1's ordered before april have reached a positive ROI in btc and barely depreciated in value.
Tell me when did the S1s reached positive ROI and how much does one S1 earn per month?
As for the depreciation you are misleading again. I see that 2 S1 are being sold for ~0.5 BTC. I don't see that much retention in value.
The same way that nobody can predict the bitcoin difficulty we can't predict the exchange rate. Hoping/waiting for the exchange rate to increase seems too risky for me. I always make my decisions taking into consideration a fast increase in exchange rate, but also a stagnation for 6+ months.
So why gamble on the difficulty/exchange rate 6 months from now when you don't have to? If you expected a fast increase in exchange rate you should have just bought btc.
Read my reply again. I said I'm prepared for
both situations. I don't expect anything, I'm just trying to be as balanced as possible.
I hate to brag but I am not at a loss from my investments at havelock. Yes AM has tanked but I have done fairly well speculating with the difficulty derivative.
Will you be so kind to share how many havelock investments have you done besides AM and the difficulty derivative?
Isn't the derivative a more financial instrument than a security investment?
No you are trying to sell people BS and lies which I just don't buy. If the sp30 is such a great machine then spondoolies would have absolutely no problem selling it from stock like every Chinese manufacturer does.
I'm not trying to sell people BS and lies. I'm just recommending what I think it's the best miner. I did that before having and affiliate link.
If you were unlucky enough to preorder an august batch sp30 directly from the website in april you paid ~26 BTC for one ~6TH or $2.8/gh..
jimmothy's math: 26BTC*450$=~12000$/5400GH=
2.8$/Gh <--
BIG MISINFORMATION, but actually it's 2.22$/Gh (for 5.4Th/s) and with the speed improve is down to 2$/Gh.
You know we are at $630/btc right?
If the sp30 is only 5400gh that would be $3/gh. That makes even the bfl monarchs look like a good deal.
So you are telling me that I paid for my March order 3$/Gh just because bitcoin is at $630 now? Next month when it will be at $1000 you will tell me that I paid 4.3$/Gh and so on.
I paid 2$/Gh in March! Calculating with today's price is simply stupid and so obvious bad intended. As previously said judging by looking back is easy Acting while looking into the future is the hard part.
The same analogy can be made for your 0 dividend AM shares. Unfortunately I don't know how many bitcoins you have invested into AM, but feel free to multiply them with 630$ and let me know how long will it take to get that amount back with your 0 dividends.
And
your math sucks again. At $630/btc you come up with 2.7$/Gh, not 2.8$/Gh.
