Mined a few Th/s for months and wound up with 8 btc. Soon as btc fell below 600 I bailed and converted to silver and sold all but one Th/s rig. I'll use that as a room heater. All in all I broke even. Lesson learned.
Hi 66tbird,
You might want to consider running your miner on bitsolo, that way you have a chance of hitting a full block of 25 BTC when you are using the room heater. Do remember me when you hit a block.
I believe BTC is far from dead, there has been far too much of investment in BTC for it to die so quickly. There should at least be one final pump where the big fish will want to take out all their money. I am an un-abashed optimist though, so hoping that adoption of BTC will help drive the price of BTC further.
