But if you think FPGAs and ASICs are going to be profitable or even exist

As to profitable, I thought it was you who - like me - believed $/BTC was going down?


I wasn't unaware of these FPGAs. I was exploring using an FPGA when I got in on the mining hype before the bubble burst. Since of course, a FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY can be used for whatever the fuck you're able to program on it.

ASICs for Bitcoin however, do not and will not exist in the market.
