Could BFL be using the the hashing power for a few months, then dump the hardware to the purchases when the mining difficulty goes up?

It's good to have a cryptocurrency that is not bitcoin and cannot be merged-mined with bitcoin.

Litecoin offers quicker confirmation times, is a good hedge against bitcoin without having to buy fiat, and is allegedly ASIC-proof, so can be GPU mined, minimizing the possible centralization effect of ASICs. So litecoin could really prove to be the silver to bitcoin's gold. None of us are anticipating $100 litecoins any time soon. $1 or $2, maybe.

It's a good 'coin, methinks.
