So you are encouraging people to buy bitcoin and discouraging mining...so my guess is you are a miner trying to get the difficulty to drop or an investor trying to get the value to go up (or both), either way...good luck. It can only improve my position at this point.
Well, I doubt I am going to make enough difference in a forum to change the price of anything either way. I'm certainly not going to change the 4% per day of network growth.
I'm not discouraging mining either. If you already have a gaming machine, you would be a fool not to mine, since it would be free money. I'm just saying to not buy a new machine only for mining that you will never use for anything else.
Again, if the network growth goes down to 2% or so, it will make sense to buy hardware again.
Unless you think bitcoins are likely to seriously drop, in which case, you should buy mining hardware as a hedge.
