I have no idea how I ended up here. It was less than a week ago that I remembered about bitcoin for some reason or another.
Saw BFL and avalon were making crazy rigs and making hundreds of dollars of profit a day simply mining.
Holy crap! I want one! Couldn't sleep for 2-3 days knowing I'm a go-getter, I'll find a way to get one somehow! Right?
Learn that "the boat" sailed in 2012 when ASICs were being introduced. If these people barely got one, how can I?
Improbable to get my hands on one, not profitable to even consider it. All options depleted, e-bay overpriced, some scam probability, frenzied people like myself, etc.
Hope this helps some of you out there with dollar signs still twinkling in your eyes.

Anyways, that being said, I went out and bought 20 bitcoins from cryptocurrent.com and bitinstant this week. (i can't recommend cryptocurrent enough - a pleasure!)
Sat a few days, watched my interest rise and netted $300 in profit. Fuck mining.

Side note: I did go out and get two 7970s for mining this month and the following month before ASICs start really raping the market. Making $15/day. Don't really care if they go out of date, I'll just use them to play the new Elder Scrolls Online game when it comes out. Hell yeah. I rock.
