Consider this scenario.

I have 1 btc. I buy some ghs on the exchange for say .07btc per ghs. i mine with it for a few days I make some more btc with it. Then sell my position in the exchange because the price of ghs went up to .075.

Its like getting dividends. Also you can trade on the exchange 24 hours a day.

Its not as simple as buy cloudmining from bfl that doesnt even start yet.. it starts right away.

Mind you, it isnt perfect, but you dont have to wait on a preorder set it up wait for shipping pay for electricity, keep your cat off your miner.. etc. it just works.

so that piece of mind is worth a premium alone, but you also get to make profits trading too should you be so inclined.

i lost about 20% there and pulled out. theres serious price manipulation going on. but if youre paying attention you can profit from it too.

Ok, I think you are right but, it isnt the same the last week? you can trade and blablabla but the price was better than this week.

The price isn't as relevant as you would think if you're trading. Volume and price fluctuations matter. If you haven't noticed theres a significant premium being paid on hardware at the moment as well. There is what is being asked, and there is getting it setup functioning and mining in your location on whatever pool you choose. CEX makes this very simple, but like most companies looking to make a profit, they don't do it for free.

I thought I was paying a significant premium for my asicminer blades. Only to find out they're already selling for twice and more than what I paid for them.
