ASICMINER Speculation Thread

[Strange Vlad]

Will the new blades cost 25BTC or even 20BTC? Opinions?
I'd go for 20BTC because of increasing diff. And I think I might buy one or two, to diversify from shares (actually, I'd buy at 25BTC too, but 20BTC would be much sweeter...)

Also, I think it would be nice if H/W prices adjusted more often but in slower steps, for example adjust USB sticks soon to maybe 0.89 then 0.79 etc... because last time many people felt angry because bought for 2BTC just before price halved.

About shares, I hope they won't go beyond 4BTC, at least not before next divs. Bubbles are scary, better get rich slowly.

(WARNING: boring personal stuff below)
All this optimistic situation makes me want to drop my work, it's quite hard for $500/month, very nervous and tiring, feels like slavery... If I have 25 shares plus some extra savings... Probably dividends would reach 0.05BTC in the following few weeks, and then keep there, I would earn the same $500/month (if BTC/USD stays the same, and it most likely would at least not fall significantly...), then what use spending my time working? I would still do some maybe freelance, or small biz, not just sit there refreshing forums all days of course. So I think I should go for it.
Not asking for advice, this is too personal, but I feel so exited about these recent news I just can't help thinking aloud

P.S. and I'm so excited I make a lot of mistakes in my English grammar also   stupid me sorry

You've got 25 shares and still have enough to buy at least 2 blades at 25BTC? Wow I really really wish I've heard of BTC earlier... But I'm still happy with my 4 shares Don't quit your job, just be happy that you can earn this much with your shares!

Please think this through carefully. Things can happen very quickly with bitcoin, this goes both ways.

That said, if you hate your job, you definitely should start planning your exit strategy. You'll thank yourself later, but only if you don't end up homeless.

Would say if you haven't already invest with profits that way you don't need to worry as much about the currency volatility and can accumulate bitcoins over the long term and choose when to sell

I think people are starting to figure out that investing in ASICMiner is a good hedge against BTC falling against the dollar.

I predict the price will continue to ascend to new heights as more people figure this out.

Well the people who read the forums
Still wants a website sort of but then I'm scared I would never get a good deal again  
But it is a great hedge considering the price dropping

It's even a hedge against BTC falling to zero.

If for whatever reason all cryptos became worthless tomorrow, your shares still have value because AM still has lots of fiat & sellable assets and no debt. AM could either move onto something else and continue to pay dividends, or just liquidate and distribute to the shareholders.

Or, say Sunny King does something amazing next year and PPC goes to world domination, while bitcoin goes the way of MySpace and BetaMax. Friedcat just starts mining the new dominant coin.

There are other scenarios but you get the idea.

Sellable assets such as... bitcoin miners?

More the self-built places they put them in that could presumably be made into regular server farms, if not just factories or offices, but more generally just anything they have that doesn't become useless if bitcoin dies.

1 more share before hitting $4 on BTC-TC. Based on last dividend of 0.019 we're looking at about 24% yield at a price of $4. Buyers, please stop here, ASICminer is almost fully valued (IMO).

If you're bullish about future earnings being consistently at or around 0.03 I suppose one could keep buying up till about $5.3. But I personally think this is risky.

In my not so scientific opinion we are in bubble territory at or around $4.50. Thankfully there is a big ask wall at that price, I hope the sellers don't pull them as the price inches higher

Average of last 5 is higher than 0.019
