How do you feel about ROI now and for future hardware purchases when BTC is sub 150 ?


Anyone starting to see the light yet >

I'm sorry I had to laugh…. remember when we all talked about alt coins being a pump and dump …

Don't look now but 2014 was the dump year for Bitcoin … and with Russia out of the game I suspect we will see little if any pump in 2015 ….


sorry guys ...

Buying a miner in btc still may not ROI in btc. Unless you plan to sell mined bitcoin and calculate profit in fiat. Then, why not just hold the btc and not mine?

If you have any belief in this at all you should :

1)buy btc with fiat today
2)hold some
3)spend some
4) you should mine
5) holding some of the btc
6) spend some of the btc.

If you want to make money  on this, I would say the bears are out.  So play this like a bear market.

Understandably so.

For the most part, 2014 was the year of industrial mining. They're not in this game to hold onto Bitcoin, they're in it to dump what they mine and reach their breakeven projections as soon as possible. When you're working with a few million $$ in hardware, holding Bitcoin for the potential to have a higher return doesn't make sense.

As painful as this drop feels, maybe we will see industrial mining start to wane if the price stays low for a few months.

But my instincts tell me that this will barely hurt the strongest manufacturers such as Bitfury, at least in the near-term. They strongest may even continue to take a larger percentage of the network as the weaker competitors dropout and home mining stops completely. And I think that will destroys the future of bitcoin as we know it.

Because the buy and hold method worked so well in 2014.

I doubt it, it is too easy for the ASIC manufacturers (that are solvent) with their own hosting capability to pick up the slack of any drop in difficulty.

If you think these recent price drops aren't seriously negatively impacting the major ASIC manufacturers bottom-lines (yes, even Bitmain) your completely off your rocker imho.  If your a large mining farm current price levels are basically a death knell insofar as profitability is concerned.  There are going to be quite a few mining operations shutting their gear down in the coming weeks/months I suspect.

Commendable. Investing in the future.

Not sure if we will hit $100...and if we do it may not stay there very long as I would buy in also along with a ton of whales waiting to scoop up coins.

Bitstamp i'm sure is trying to buy back those 18,000 btc they lost.

Funny how they crushed the winter months for BTC … Fall and Winter was suppose to be the most profitable months for home miners… As it turns out, looks like the winter months will be where home miners take the biggest loss …

Funny how whoever is manipulating BTC played that hand ...

Bitstamp is buying back what BFL is selling.
