Which one to buy right now ASICMiner Blade or CoinTerra?

Dragon kid! I hope you understand the risks before you invest your money! Bitcoin hardware are investments!

Investments are priced based on risk preference, expected payout, and discounted by time, and liquidity. Are you familiar with expected values and discounting? If not please learn about them! If yes then read on:

ASICMiner is overpriced! Because probability to deliver is almost 100%. It's a sure thing, very little risk. The expected BTC payout is depending on what you think difficulty increase will be. Because lots and lots of people are paying ~3.5-4 BTC that means most people believe difficulty increase won't be that much as 70%, and value low risk.

Cointerra is so cheap! Because probability to deliver is very low. It is also far into the future. The more risky and more time, the less valuable. If you put your money into Cointerra pre-order, there is a high chance delivery will be delayed. Then every day you wait is lost money. So risky! But if you get lucky it's so good!

Bitcoin hardware is not the most efficient market, but it is still good enough to help you decide what you want. If you are OK to take very risky investment with good reward, do Cointerra/fast hash/whatever preorder. If you don't want to take any risks with your money, do ASICMiner. If you want to do something in the middle, I suggest BitFury.

Good luck.

I have done a LOT of reading about this exact topic and this is good advice in my opinion.

Hah! I was in the same dilemma a week ago. I did make a decision however.

So with the blades, they will cost you roughly the same as the Cointerra. The upside is that you get them right away. So you can start making BTC right away, before the difficulty goes nuts, which it will. On the other side you have the Cointerra that you have to wait a month for, but its 10x faster. Thats mega. I think the Blades life will expire when you hit January/Feb if the Diff keeps going the way it is. With the Cointerra, maybe the Diff slows down a bit for a few months, maybe not. Worst case scenario, with the cointerra you will have something that is 10x faster and worth more in the end. Plus it would make a great alt coin raper.

Now if you really want to roll the dice, get the blades now and mine, sell them in January when your Cointerra comes in.. Yes buy both and keep one.


Oh, so what did I do? I ordered the Cointerra without their protection and am praying it comes on time. Anyone know of a reliable god?
