What a disappointment. I'm not even tempted to buy at these prices.
Bitmain, there's lots of us waiting for your prices to make sense. Hurry up and find a reasonable price point.
To everyone else, stop paying these outrageous prices. Seriously. You're only enabling Bitmain to keep gouging.
They are not selling a ton of them. I actually like this pricing and hope they do not budge much at all.
I think this is their best move keep the prices sky fucking high and slowly fill their hash nest with s-9's.
I would love to see batch 12 in august still be over 1700 usd.
lol you like the pricing becuase why ? they are selling hardware that may never ROI whats not to like haha
Because high prices like these make my batch 1 value stable. I can list and sell them for 1900 right now as I type.
My hope is since bitmaintech is monopoly wise king that they stall sales via high price. They have zero need to rush as of today. Soooo the wise guys that purchased batches 1 and 2 will be the winners.
Bitmaintech can make growth in difficulty fully stall.. They did it before:

Start at sept 25 2014 to Sep 16th 2015
about 360 days
we went from 34,661,425,924 to 56,957,648,455
if we do this growth from now until July 8 2017 I will do very well.
Since they are in control it suits them to play this game exactly like that as it will max their profit.
And it also maxes my profit since I purchased batch 1 and 2 before the ½ ing.
Nice numbers but do you really have that much faith in bitmain to keep the price high? all they care about is thier own profit , once the purchase rate drops to a number they are not happy with they will drop the price 30% like they did with the s7 and later on down to 50% , if anything the smart thing to do is sell yours now and keep your mined coins and then buy back when the price drops in a few weeks.
Thats what I'm waiting on.
