Wait, I've just started reading up on how Bitcoins work yesterday night so I'm probably wrong, but doesn't a higher BTC price mean you're making more money by mining them? If you can sell 1 BTC for 15 instead of 10 dollars, that's a good thing right?
The amount I can sell btc higher is fine and all, but it only means that I will make less btc due to increasing difficulty following price hike. All I'm saying is that i would have higher total btc in my client right now had I bought instead of mined in the beginning when I first got introduced. And looking back at this fact, it does make me sick that I made the wrong choice hence my rant above.
