Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

When stories spread about people paying off their college loans or tripling their Bitcoins just from buying shares they'll get in.

I've tripled my investment in under 2 months.

For the record, I think anybody who buys shares at current prices (~4.5) is making a bad decision.

Why would you consider it a bad decisions with the ridiculous dividends coming in the future?

Because daily fluctuations in share prices are already orders of magnitude larger than any dividend payment to date. A BTC0.04 dividend equals a net loss if the shares you bought at BTC4.5 are now selling for BTC4.45.

But I think the shares are worth around 5BTC and while I wouldn't buy them at 10BTC (I cannot afford to at that price) I'm sure some people can. It's a good place to put your Bitcoins and it's better than leaving it in cold storage or hot wallet. You might have to deal with the fluctuations but if it gets to 5BTC it's not going back down to 4.5 so the problem of fluctuations mostly affects people who get in too late. If you're getting in at 5+ then I would think it's far more risky than getting in right now at 4.5.
