Again you are completely wrong. There are viable options shipping now and returning positive ROI (see bitmain).
And to clarify I mean they failed to deliver the product they advertised within even 8 months of ordering and refusing refunds for this unacceptable delay.
And avalon has learned from their lesson and is only selling in stock hardware.
The only reason BFL is taking preorders and not selling in hand hardware is because they had no confidence in their ability to ship on time and realized it is much more profit to bullshit your customers.
Let's quit pretending BFL is even near comparable to companies like knc/bitmain/asicminer/bitfury
Between your lack of understanding what is written in front of you and the trolls who insist on reading nothing and just lobbing shit from the cheap seats (yes, bick, I mean you), this has just turned into yet another bash thread. It's the same now as it was nearly a year ago, people have their blinders on or insist on seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. While Bitmain is currently selling reasonably priced items, the positive ROI is not a given until you can look at it in hindsight. You don't know what the future holds, so every purchase is a gamble. I will agree some are much better risks than others, but unless you are offering a guarantee, don't tell me it's a given.
Both me and you know its your job to do that! Its not even cognitive disadence with you because you know what you are doing and why you are doing it! To me that makes you on par, if not worse than bfl/josh and co because you have next to nothing to gain from it (in comparison to them) and you still do it! You just do it to scratch your ego because your lonely fat arse only knows how to troll the net. You have probably done this line of work for most of your life! As I say, I come here for shits and giggles, it never dissapoints! Haha
You might actually be the most disconnected sociopathic troll I've everncome across so why would I miss out on your ramblingsto watch them go down in flames. its just so entertaining joules lol
In the end the jokes on you all, the monetary value does not matter at all and the bitcoin protocol as the POTENTIAL to make a cashless society with smart contracts, smart assets and a load of yet unrealised possibilities. You see, the protocol and block chain are good for a monetary system, but its not necciserilly the best implementation of it! I'd guess this is too over your head but hey, I might get a few people waking up to what possibilities are actually on the table here!
Bitcoin is no currency, and hopefully it will bring us away from such a stupid idea for society in the first place!
