For the longest time, there have been complaints that a small group of legacy miners were hoarding massive piles of bitcoin, and it would be better if the bitcoin wealth was not so concentrated.
Well, this weekend we have solved that problem.
Butterfly Labs new ASIC miners have pried approximately 50,000 Bitcoins from the hands of bitcoin's top miners. And now, we can use everyones help in returning these bitcoins to circulation and giving everyone, including new bitcoiners, the chance to own some.
We are listing these bitcoins for sale on a number of bitcoin exchanges, starting now, to give as many people as possible the opportunity to buy.
We have them on
Mt. Gox Bitfloor CampX BitStamp
50,000 BTC are up for grabs (not all at once obviously).
If you are interested in a private deal to buy $10,000 or more, contact me directly.

Not exactly. Since the only way you can pay for the hottest new product is with BTC, well, that may just spur a little buying interest.

So to put this in another way, equipment which will eventually deliver 10-20TH have been bought. This is more than the current total hash rate. My math: 50kBTC ~ $300k ~ 10 x 1TH rigs (no trade-in) or 20 x 1TH (all trade-ins).

Yeah, nice advertising, but you wont "SOLVE" the problem of uneven money distribution by selling such a puny amount of BTC (total market cap 9.309 Million BTC!) to the community.

The market capitalization is not the total amount of bitcoins in circulation, but rather their total value.

The market capitalization is not the total amount of bitcoins in circulation, but rather their total value. And their total value, at the moment, is about 9.309 million. BTC is a measure of value also, you know

Their market cap would be 1000 HD2686 toasters! Truly amazing! On a more serious note, we generally use another currency or asset when calculating the market capitalization of an asset, you know.

And so another bitcoin business went bankrupt As a payment processor I guessed you were supposed to immediately sell BTC that you receive on an exchange. Apparently you were hoarding as the price was supposed to go up and now you need to sell at 6.5$ but can't? Come on! Announcing to deposit 50k BTC for a good reason at least tries to calm those that see a drop of confidence in a flooded market but I'm not sure the sharks will be happy to buy your coins at 6.5$

I love this, you can only buy miners with BTC and bankwire, so everyone gives Bitcoin away, BFL sells it all pushing down the price and forcing GPU miners out of the market, then 8 months later the difficulty increases exponentially as they "test" their ASIC on Inaba's pool, then they release it first to GigaVPS, who hypes up how "awesome" it is and single handedly mines a huge portion of the 3100btc/day till the next difficulty readjustment.
Then everyone after two weeks more who gets their devices finds their ROI is about 10 years. GG.

Nice job of revealing the pre-order statistics for everyone to extrapolate from. So, more than $300k in sales on one preorder day? That's a lot of rigs.
