It's disheartening to get into bitcoin so late in the game. With ASICs coming out, it's completely unrealistic for anyone to try to get into mining.
ASICs coming out provides the perfect opportunity to get into mining. Why are you so negative? I am here mostly to trade real world goods and services for bitcoins but with ASICs coming out I feel tempted to buy some of those to diversify my assimilation strategy. It seems like it could be a good way to convert fiat to bitcoins.
Its the best way - that is if you dont mind it taking awhile for it to be converted.
