Just stop it. People, this is madness. There nothing worth buying, and by buying a dream you allow these companies to give BTC a bad name.

If you arent paying the foundry to fabricate the wafers and putting chips on boards yourself, THERE IS NO PROFIT IN BITCOIN MINING.

Its just smoke and mirrors, please shut off that greedy lizard brain for one moment and think about how many companies sell items that are worth more than their purchase price outside of the bitcoin world just by plugging them into the wall/internet and hitting a button.

Thats right, zero. Its a great con, people want to believe in easy money, and theres a sucker born every minute. 

BUMP this if you have lost BTC/fiat trying to mine, or have a preorder which wont ever ROI if you ever even receive it.

Understood- the current state of mining does not provide a satisfactory return.
But what happens IF btc spikes to 1200us? Then everyone who bought in will look like a genius.
And then the whole cycle will start up again.

SHUT IT DOWN REPTILIAN BRAINS!   Cool



It really is all about greed, because if everyone did the math and homework, they'd see there's no shot in hell at mining for profit.

I can name one; solar panels. You plug them in, hit a button and the power company uses their network connected meter to calculate how much they owe you. Eventually you'll ROI.

Nope. No mining necessary.

If you believe BTC will spike to $1200, then buy it now at $376.76. No need to risk hardware purchases or electricity costs.

Hasn't the myth of mixing currency speculation (i.e. wishful thinking) and mining been so thoroughly debunked that it's beyond reasonable doubt?

Funny, I can't remember the thread, but I remember this being discussed earlier.

Bitcoin often gets accused of being a Ponzi scheme, which I don't believe is true.

However, Bitcoin mining is looking more and more like it all the time... Sad

Do the things you know you must do first, then worry about the stuff you're not sure about.

People wont stop till the price hits around $100. Then shortly after diff will come crashing down. Then there will once again be a huge demand in hardware =O ... its a cycle that happens over and over.
Also people are stupid, you know like those who own apple products.. thats kinda like foolish mining hardware purchases(at a huge loss mind you) that the 'masses' are doing now.

The other thing people dont realize is that buying BTC directly rather than mining it... helps its market price go up.
Buying mining hardware then cashing out only fucking puts downwards pressure on the price, but like I said above....once it crosses a certain lower price point, its great for all miners because of the decreased diff that follows =)

The price Bitcoin pays for securing its network and processing transactions is that of downward pressure.

If people stop mining, bitcoin is dead. You should be thanking the miners for keeping the network running.
