What if ASICMINER goes through a Bitcoin-style bubble and hits 10 BTC each? Wink

*fervently knocks on wood*

One consideration is how important their underwriting of network security is... so if they end up with ~1/3 of the total hash would it be reasonable to say the company is worth 1/3 of total btc, or perhaps you could say network security is half of all btc value, so controling 1/3 of total hash is worth 1/6 of total btc. Just some idle thoughts.

interesting. control that much of "future mining of bitcoin" not ALL BITCOIN. and the would be "control XX% of future bitcoin mining AS OF THIS POINT IN TIME". or in your assumption. yes the whole world would stand idly by if you could control a billion dollars with a 2 million investment.........
