Thoughts on FPGAs?

"The German guy selling x6500s on bitmit"

Worthwhile? Opinions?

Edit: sorry, wrong link. Got kind of confused when people where talking about the recent crash instead of the FPGA. Link fixed.
Edit, edit: Can't fix link because Bitmit.net is down. Replaced it with a quote. He's got no rating and is using a picture straight off the x6500 website. But he is using escrow.


I'd prefer to buy from the USA based guy but he doesn't appear to be willing to ship to Canada.

It fell 23% to $37USD/BTC, and then was immediately bounced back up.

First thought: Lucky bastards who got a second chance to buy at $37.

Second thought: It's amazing how the market has learned from the past.

This happened 2 years ago, where the market panicked, and everybody sold. People thought Bitcoin was dead. It stuck around, and 2 years later, it's stronger than ever, the price is higher than ever, and is mostly unaffected in the long run by hiccups like this.

The important thing is that people now know that Bitcoin has resilience, and can bounce back. This goes a LONG way towards preventing panic.
