Every market has its ups/downs so I am finding some these recent mining defeatist posts kind of boring.

BTC will go up in value as the commerce options grow and the public awareness that follows.

Just the other day I was chuckling how recently black Friday is being greatly affected by Amazon.
I've been using their services for many years but the collective is just getting it now.... And when they get crypto independence I believe your position as a miner, transaction processor, alt coin trader, etc will be light years ahead of the oblivious greater collective.

One more thing.
I plan to mine for investing, not pay my immediate bills.
So I don't fret if xyz are petahash dominant. I fret if I can't get any coins.
Its the greater investments that take patience and accumulation.

Just some thoughts...
