There is functionally ZERO difference between someone who bought a $1,300 miner with BTC and someone who bought a $1,300 miner with USD. Both had equal opportunity to invest that money in BTC instead of miners. If the one who bought with BTC had instead kept his money in BTC, he would have around $23,400 today. If the one who bought with USD had instead invested that $1,300 in BTC, he would have around $23,400 today.

This is nonsense. What are you blabbering about?

To invest what money? People had BTC (not USD) BEFORE they purchased pre-orders from BFL. And they lost in a biiiig way compared to those that wisely decided to not purchase anything from BFL.

wrong, the made 2 decisions (if they didn't buy back the BTC used for transferring USD to bfl): 1.) withdraw investment from BTC 2.) buy miner from bfl. The "selling of BTC" is implicit and an aware customer will have thought of it like that.
