the whole point of bitcoins is nt jus to mine horde n exhange for hard currencies, bt to replace them by trading with bitcoins for products whether their pizzas or electronic goods Wink

so get in on asics for the long run we all should endeavour to make bitcoin a major game changer in world finance

I agree with this notion but I can't recommend that someone purchase an ASIC unless they have that type of disposable income. And if someone does have anywhere from 5-20K to play with, it's not a problem but that also means that the rich can still control the flow of currency by simply purchasing these machines that most people can't afford. One of the flaws in the system, if you ask me. This is only exacerbated when the next level of mining tech is released for even more money.

And let's face it, 80% of the miners want to hoard and hopefully increase their riches. A small few are investing in the tech because they believe in BTC.
