So all I had to do to make money was just say I made an outrageous GPU cluster and (not) sell it?

Mine are cranking along but it will be a while before I break even and to think all I had to do was pretend I had one and then offer it for sale.

This whole thing makes me think that the only way to make money in bitcoin is either speculation or fraud.  The speculation side will make it little used as an actual currency, so I am afraid it is gonna crap out bigtime one day.
