Wow 3.8BTC for the next batch now. Crazy.
Those who paid 8 BTC or heck even my S7 I paid 5.8BTC for that shoud arrive tomorrow costs too much!
How high is BTC gonna go on this run? Some people may get some sweet deals on S7s but its going to screw the early guys that's for sure!
how does it screw me when i insta-bought BTC to pay for the miner (or used coinbase USD wallet, which is essentially the same).
I essentially paid $$ for it (same price then as now) plus will enjoy ~2 extra months of mining, hopefully.
I'm going to use your strategy from now on Biodom; it's crazy that I paid 2x the BTC for my S7's compared to what they would cost to buy now. I am glad I managed some restraint and didn't go all in on S7's.
I have an electric fund that I use to hedge against low BTC exchange rate prices. It works like this:
when the BTC exchange rate is high, I sell enough BTC to cover 6-8 months of electric payments. I keep the resulting usd separate ( elec fund ) and pay the elec bill from it. If the exchange rate goes down; It only hurts me if it stays down longer than I can pay the electric bill from my fund.
In my experience it is best to have faith that over a long enough time frame the BTC exchange rate will go up.
Get ready for when a major bank admits they can't copy Bitcoin; and calls forth the real moon.
