I don't see how BFL stopped him from buying 23 BTC at any time, can you please post where BFL forbids people from purchasing BTC once they purchase one of our products, which are sold for USD (Not BTC)?

You can't? Oh, then your argument is fallacious. Nice try at rationalizing a false premise, though. Well, actually, no it's not. It's pretty sophomoric and elementary.

I tried arguing this many times and finally gave up. People are too dumb to realize they could have paid in BTC, then immediately bought the BTC back. In fact, BitPay even offered to sell the BTC back to customers... If the value of 1 BTC was $1 right now, they would be demanding USD back and not BTC. I am pissed off I didn't buy BTC back after my ASIC pre-orders, but I do not blame BFL one bit, only myself. Oh well, 1 year from now I will be glad I am holding my BTC now Wink

Edit: also, back on topic, grats on the jalapeno OP! Can't wait for the Single SCs to start shipping!

WOW. Josh's response to this argument is so absurd I don't know where to begin. So let me get this straight. Josh is claiming grue's "argument is fallacious" because nobody stopped BFL customers from making ADDITIONAL investments directly into BTC? LMAO that's not how it works and his argument is spot on. The fact is plain and simple. Somebody that had $150 ten months ago would have been better off just buying 23BTC directly since a Jalapeno will likely only mine 75% or so of that before it's unproductive. What they could have done with an ADDITIONAL $150 makes absolutely no difference.

The only thing "sophomoric and elementary" is how Josh conducts himself and his behavior and irrational arguments are lowering my opinion of BFL more than their extreme shipping delays have. I will take Bitsyncom's black hole over this insanity ANY DAY.

The only thing absurd in your post is your grasp on common sense.

Translation: "I got nothing"

No, the proper translation is: I'm not feeling like arguing with stupid. Check back later, maybe my mood will have changed.

Try understanding the basics of what you're posting before you post, you might get a more comprehensive response. The fact that you have no idea what you're talking about makes it hard to even know where to start.
