Because I want to pay off my student loans, and if I don't sell 2 hours after... Ill keep holding forever and never sell, when it would be nice to pay off the loans to improve my USD cashflow Tongue
Getting rid of debts is a good decision.

Fully agreed.

My only point would be the same as TsuyokuNaritai made. This stock is not a pump-and-dump, its not LTC. It just keeps going up and up. If you have funds to invest in the stock, invest *now*. I bought in on June 14th, that's 17 days ago at 2.5BTC, the price is now nearly 5. I really see no point in waiting around unless you believe we are in bubble land already.

Sounds a lot like bubble-land, if I'm honest. I heard this exact thing about Bitcoin itself back in March.

I'm not buying puts just for funsies. I'm buying puts because it's the only way to protect myself from ridiculous valuations of a company with a very clear business model.

There's one big difference. Bitcoin price is almost entirely sentiment driven, AM share prices, within the BTC sphere, are driven to some extent at least by numbers / fundamentals.

I agree the share is on the verge of bubble-land. That's why people are starting to sell out below 5. But I think if AM performs well over the next 2-3 months, the bubble will inflate to around 8-10 before bursting back to 5 or below.

If I had bought in very early and had lots of shares, I would be looking to sell some now. Some early adopters could get 10x their initial investment back without hardly denting their current share level. Its all good Smiley

I expect to see a HUGE price spike the next time friedcat posts... I actually have btc sitting and waiting to buy in the second he posts, and then I will sell on the spike!
Why even sell on the spike? It's not trollboxland where every pump is followed by a dump. This is Friedcatland, all spikes so far have just stabilized out until the next spike!

To increase popularity of Bitcoin and Asicminer, you should speak to the media. Would you be willing to bring exposure to Asicminer by detailing in an interview how you paid for your student loans with this fantastic Bitcoin exclusive investment opportunity?

If you don't want to do an interview at least consider writing a book and selling it. It will increase your cashflow and benefit your share value. You're like the Warren Buffet of Virtual Stocks.

"There's one big difference. Bitcoin price is almost entirely sentiment driven, AM share prices, within the BTC sphere, are driven to some extent at least by numbers / fundamentals."

I absolutely agree with this. Thankfully we have numbers to value AM properly and hopefully this will be a saving grace, preventing a massive bubble in AM shares.

I definitely agree we are just beginning to enter bubble territory (though still not there yet). However, given the ability to price AM, I'm hoping we do not actually get into the 8-10 btc/share range. If we got there the bubble pop would be very painful for the people entering the market at or after right about now

About monopoly concerns at least they are right.
Many would feel uncomfortable with AM being "KING", just retaining leadership would be enough. Strong competition is necessary, so I hope competitors deliver mass-production of second-generation chips late this year (by second-generation I mean 65nm and less, excluding BFL).
I would even prefer AM losing leadership, over their total domination of Bitcoin ASIC market. Monopoly would make Bitcoin itself endangered.

By saying he is king, I just meant he will retain leadership and we can be confident in that as we see this unfold in the next ~6 months. Confident enough to value a share at 10+ BTC.

However, even if there is a monopoly (as in, AM is the miner at 50% network share and everyone else is an AM consumer), it won't stop the majority from riding that boat, heh.


How would Asicminer monopoly endanger Bitcoin network when they sell Miners and they distribute the rewards to shareholders? They don't have 50% of the network and probably never will but they should maximize profit for shareholders while selling the most decentralized mining equipment designs possible.

Ummm ... generally people don't write financial books for the money, they do it because they love exposure, want to feed their ego or want to leave something behind when they go. I don't think Warren Buffet exactly needed the cash from a book deal  Cheesy

The bubble-boys will be coming. We just gotta call them up and tell them what an awesome opportunity they are missing. When stories spread about people paying off their college loans or tripling their Bitcoins just from buying shares they'll get in.


By the way, 1000 shares @ 4.5? That guy is a millionaire.

Uhhh, I would and I wouldn't.  I haven't paid off my student loans yet, I'm trying to not pull out TOO much to avoid going up several tax brackets (I plan to may my taxes on this income).

Last time there was a wall, it lasted for... how long?

I figure now is a good time to cash out some.  That mid sized wall on TAT is me at 4.5.  (unless it already got eaten).

I've tripled my investment in under 2 months.

For the record, I think anybody who buys shares at current prices (~4.5) is making a bad decision.

No longer buying/selling Casascius coins. Beware scammers.

only if some one will buy over your AM shares at this price level in the future, otherwise anything less than 4.5(future selling price+received dividends)=loss

Because daily fluctuations in share prices are already orders of magnitude larger than any dividend payment to date. A BTC0.04 dividend equals a net loss if the shares you bought at BTC4.5 are now selling for BTC4.45.

thats a good point. If he dumps 4500BTC right now the price goes just above 90. Might be just enough to trigger a panic selloff
