I have made an investment in bitcoin because it solves a number of issues related to payment taking in business transactions.  Weather or not my mining hardware will ride the mining wave and 'make me rich!' is inconsequential because if I have a more economical business success will follow.

The important thing about ASIC hardware is that fewer miners are required to maintain the block chains.  ASIC to me is an improvement over GPUs because they will provide me stability against difficulty/price fluctuations.  Why are there so many haters/chicken little's on these forums?  Sit back, relax, enjoy the ant pile.

Viva bitcoin!
