Are you saying mining is gambling? Because I very very much disagree. With mining I have something that has a value (computers and cards) that is also producing something with a speculative value. Once I realize that gain on the speculative value I then have even more value. I could easily sell my entire setup for close to what I paid for it - there was a time when I could have sold it for probably close to double. I do not view mining as gambling in any way. It is a business investment and must be treated as such.
