I kind of feel like all this mining hardware is going to pay off, in USD, not so much in btc. Not even close in terms of bitcoins, but it will be huge to the exchange rate.
That makes no sense. If it doesn't pay off in bitcoins, then you're better off buying bitcoins instead of a miner.
And what do you buy bitcoins with?
He's right. The initial cost is in flat not BTC which you've had to buy or obtain in some way that cost you flat.
I could just as easily say that I could make more trading BTC with leverage, or trading gold....but that's not the point, nor the topic of this thread...it's about KnC Miners and mining.
In fact if you buy a miner and do decent research and pick one like KnC you double your chances of a profit...one chance being that you get past break even, the other that even if you don't in the near future your mined BTC will eventually rise in value and give you a better return than your original dollar/pound/euro investment. Plus you have a rig that might have value in the future.
