ASICS - death knell for BTC?

[JohnnyBrown]

Now, before the mainstream introduction of ASICs (BFL), the Bitcoin price is rising uncontrollably and unpredictably... will everyone hoard their bitcoins (especially the ones they bought)?
Here's what I think is going to happen.

You're a few months too late, there were a bunch of people here troll spamming exactly what you've typed now and if you'd bothered looking around you'd find the topic has been argued to death.

Strange post... ASICs are the "death knell" for BTC, and yet your prediction is for... Viability?

Viability is defined as: "1. Capable of living, developing, or germinating under favorable conditions."

So.. yes, I must say I agree with your prediction.

1 ASIC Manufacturer has done a runner
1 ASIC Manfacturer has decided to keep them all to themselves.
1 ASIC Manufacturer comes up with an excuse every day for why they never deliver
1 ASIC Manufacturer has decided to increase the price 4x because "trust costs $5000"

Bitcoin is feked if it relies on ASICs or a distributed network.
