lol, nice responses everyone. Thanks for the welcome. I'll look into insurance, and I am interested in cloud mining, so i'll look into that as well. Again, i know i won't be able to compete with mining farms out there, but wouldn't 5 or so nice new ASICs create a bitcoin income stream for me? Regardless of the value? 

In other news, the computer i'm planning on building over the next couple months i'm thinking of using TWO of the new Nvidia Titan Z GPUs, which is like 4 980's. I figured that plus a few ASIC's would generate a few mBTC's...
