Reading this discussion is starting to diminish the excitement I had for the 6 BE's I have ordered lol.
Welcome to the world of diminishing returns.
Lol. Yeah, but you know it's still fun to be part of the ever-evolving world of BTC/cryptocurrency as it matures as well as watch my miner stats increase with the pool I'm using even if it's only by pennies or nickels. I still have a real 401K just in case
.
Agreed. I am still very much in a "fascination stage evolving into hobby". Like with a lot of new industries/occupations (or even marriage for that matter), it starts with neither spending nor making money. If the fascination is strong then for some people it evolves into a hobby where they spend more and more money. Some who stay dedicated and become really good at it becomes their work/job and they start making money on exact same stuff.
When I was a child I really liked the idea of extreme hiking in wilderness. That was a fascination and I watched movies and read books. In my teenage years I was making some money just to allow for trips to remote locations and all the gear that was needed. After college I took a job with a geological expedition to Russian Siberia to assist geologists with moving around rough terrain. In the end I made probably just a little more than I spent during the hobby stage. The point is, it was an amazing endeavor.
Most of us here will never leave hobby stage and end up "losing" money. I do not consider these money lost and grateful to people like Canary who make it easier for me to enjoy the ride. I bet he is busting his butt off to run his business. Bring more ASIC goodness Canary!
