Will this campaign go into a second round or will it be closed after this months' payments have been made? I think it's a really nice and well paying campaign for a good product, as well!

Speculation will drive us even higher. People aren't satisfied with the prices we have these days. It's only natural to assume that the price will be pushed higher and higher by speculation. We don't need 'Willy' or 'Marcus' in order to attain a new ATH!

I think you could very well be a millionaire with 100 BTC. One thing you could try to do is trade the major waves, to increase your holdings even further - but please keep in mind that you may also lose your BTC very quickly by doing so.

Yeah could very well be. It remains to be seen what happens when we actually press through that barrier though. Some say it's best to immediately start shorting, while others say we'll see a quick move further up. I don't quite know where to put my money yet...

Speculation, mostly. Since last year it is possible to profit from falling prices (shorting) with new leveraged trading tools. This is what speculators have used as much as possible as long as the price was falling. Now we seem to have founds a bottom and thus it is more profitable to go the other way (up). I like it!

Alright... People start speculating that FC may be in for the death penalty if he indeed transferred AM assets (or alike) to RM or AMHASH in order to 'bleed the company out': https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833704.msg10723045#msg10723045

Well if I may chime in, I gotta say, AM had a pretty good run over the first year or so. They gave the investors 600% ROI, which can almost be described as 'unprecedented' I guess... You don't see that very often. Like, at all.

Yeah all nice and well, but how is it supposed to be funded with FC (probably) having (the only!?) access to large amounts of AM's funds. Ask-side on Havelock doesn't seem to be going down... I guess we'll see dumps below the 0.01s... Might just take the chance and double my (presumably worthless) holdings ;(

What does that even have to do with the potential future profits of a hardware manufacturer!? Sorry I cann't really follow this train of thought...

Highly interesting that people like rockxie actually *increased* their holdings in AM even late last year! That at least makes me feel not so stupid anymore - I mean they'd know if something was severely going down the drain there...

It can only go to zero, I guess... Or do you think Havelock indeed goes below 0??? That could mean we'd have to pay BTC for holding AM shares at some point! ;( It never ends...

So you're still down about 100 BTC now, approximately!? Man, I get why you're this upset about this.  It really is a disappointing situation...

Well, if you really want to take a gamble with potentially enormous profits, invest in ASICMiner now... But please keep in mind that the odds are that FC really disappeared (forcefully?!) and you won't see a single Satoshi ever again.

Price crashing hard on Havelock... Do you think it's (Chinese!?) people knowing something we don't know yet or just the slowly onsetting realization that this thing is over?

I almost can't believe that! I mean that guy worked practically day and night, how do you've still got time for your partner with such a time consuming kind of work? Well you never stop learning I guess.

So you're still down 250 BTC or did you invest more? I mean AMHASH paid divs for 3 months or so, some people claim this accounts for 60% of the original investment!?

We appreciate you chiming in on this matter. Please let us know if you hear something new. It's good to see that you are in friendly terms with the AM/ROCKMiner staff, even though you are competitors!

I don't think it is $200M - that would be too much. I think $200k would be more realistic, maybe money needed for a second mask set or something. Or some sort of volume discount...

He could have easily made a lot more money by e.g. announcing BE300 miners with <0.2W/GH/s performance and taking mass pre-orders (resellers would have bought them).

AMHash is a cloud mining project by ASICMiner. ASICMiner provided the hashrate and AMHASH did the day-to-day business.
A week ago we learned that in December 2014(!!!) all the mining equipment got stolen (allegedly). Apparently friedcat also disappeared 1.5 months ago, while on a trip to Mongolia (potentially making deals about a new mining farm). Some people say he was abducted/catnapped, some say he's still fine, some say he's being forced to transfer his private coins. Friedcat may or may not be in danger. He may or may not be giving a statement soon. He may or may not have run with all the funds.
AM offices are allegedly emptied, as well.

Oh and someone started the hunt for AMHASH's/ROCKMINER's rockxie and his friends & family.

I can't believe I'm actually experiencing this all...
