Pretty risky, basically gambling with your money.
you mean investing? if someone would invest bitcoin in mining hardware no one could scam them
I meant investing with bitcoins directly.With mining if you factor the increase of difficulty over time and also the time between order and delivery of the miner you see how you are basically scamming yourself of the prospective profit you might have. Would also not recommend.
Agree. Just to add on, lots of companies offer perorder option which basically lets you buy a product that will never or will take a long time to arrive. Lots of people has lost money because of Butterflylabs.
