If you fund a mining hardware for bitcoin, is that expensive? How much will it worth?


It totally depends on its processing power. The more Hashes it can perform per second, the more income it will generate you. Keep in mind that the more hashing power comes online, the smaller your piece of the cake gets. There are 3600 Bitcoins distributed every day (on average, it fluctuates due to variance), they're effectively distributed between everyone, who is mining, depending on their respective hashing power. The more hashing power gets online, the less your piece gets in comparison. - This is a very simplistic explanation but it should give you a rough idea!
It also depends on how much power the miner consumes... The more it consumes, the higher your electricity bill will get!

Can you actually mention the hardware that can be used for that?

Bitcoin is a form of currency without notes and coins, it is a digital currency.

In this era of Internet and digitization, we’ve moved from phone to VoIP calls, face-to-face meeting to video conferencing, fax to email, cable television to IP TV, and the list goes on. Bitcoin is the equivalent for money.

How does Gold make you am oney making machine?

Gold is a very marketable product. It is before and it is today. Aside from that, Gold is well adopted by each and every people in the world.

True that gold is widely accepted by almost every people in the world. You can sell it for other form of money, but it is not a money making machine.
For the same reason, bitcoin is not a money making machine.

You can use any sha256 ASIC to mine bitcoin.
Example 1, Antminer S3: https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201409100729132701XzQIXcc06AB
Example 2, SP20: http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/sp20-jackson-october-batch-1
Example 3, ASICMiner Tube: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735728.0

What can  bitcoin do? How do you make itbecome a money making machine?

Bitcoin can perform contracts of value by acting as a medium of exchange act as a low cost transfer system and perhaps change the way microfinance is handled you can make money by investing I guess and trying to create a new industry around it sort of a wild west still but its getting a bit more civil.

Believing in Bitcoins and it's ability to change the world

Or maybe a cheap block erupter only for learning purposes because you will earn more coins with faucets...

is like a money transfer am i right?

Quite different IMO.
For bitcoin transaction, there is no clearing house, no chargeback, and no way some persons/organizations/governments can stop the transaction. Smiley

Well then, I hope they can read this thread and understand the bitcoin project is not a money making machine.

Well I guess by definition of the protocol it is literally a money making machine, but people shouldnt expect it to be a get rich quick scheme which is what a lot of people are unfortunately treating it as. Most people don't seem to care about bitcoin other than it being something that can expand their material wealth.
