However, the question that many people here (speculators and soon-to-be shareholders) are wondering:
Q: Is it more profitable to
1) just hold BTC
2) spend BTC to buy mining gear that is "ahead of the curve"
3) spend BTC to buy shares in mining company that develops and sells their own hardware
It is highly recommended that those who decide to partake in any of these options to do your research, or you will just give away your BTC.

My question goes farther... taking into consideration the difficulty of mining and other imprevisible factors, how long a company that sell hardware will make profit? It is worth to invest in it, as all these companies PREsell those miners and send them to you after they are already expired!?
For example, paying for 2TH now and getting it in May or June is like killing yourself Grin

What do you think?

Hence ASICMINER policy of no pay up front before we bake 'em.
