They told too many lies in the past. It just sounds too good to be true.
Not really. Ive said this so often and long before this announcement: people dont and wont fully realize the impact asics will have.
These prices look good NOW, until you do the math with difficulty going up 10x, 100x or more. For the record, difficulty went up 10000x over the past two years, and that was with off the shelve hardware who's price is mostly independent of bitcoin price/difficulty (AMD or xilinx dont adjust prices when difficulty goes up, nor can they charge 10000% gross margins just because miner would pay it). But a dedicated bitcoin asic will be priced almost purely by btc price/difficulty so expect its price to go down by orders of magnitude while price/difficulty goes up by orders of magnitude.
6 months after BFL started shipping their asics, the above prices will look like a terrible investment.
Even if they can deliver, I'm not going to trade in my existing hardware.
You'd be nuts not to. Have you calculated what your singles or mini rigs will earn you once difficulty reaches 10 or 100 million ?
In the meantime, mine what you can !
No arguing that
