If you knew it wasn't worth it, why are you pissed?

I'm only a bit pissed - anyone would be if they bought something for 2 BTC that was selling for 1 BTC two weeks later. Not rocket science really...

[EDIT] Point is I'm not a returning customer.

I'm only teasing, I understand what you're saying.

I wonder how many people are ordering more @ BTC1 to bring their average cost down?

If you bought 1 @ 2 and 2 @ 1, that works out to BTC1.33 each Wink

Then you will loose even more money and still dont make a ROI.

Hold onto it for a few decades, it may be worth something...

Indeed - like my 30 year old BBC micro

And friedcat is panicking that the other 6000 wont sell.

The only people panicking are the people still trying to sell their first-batch miners on eBay.

Nobody thinks 2 BTC was worth it (I didn't but I bought 2 to try it).

customers who already paid 2+ BTC will be pissed (like me)

I didn't

Friedcat would have sold more than he could make if he came in with 3 ubs sticks for 1 BTC - over priced - too late now - missed the boat.

If you sell more than you can make, your prices are too low.

If you sell too few - you over priced and missed the boat.

And then you drop the price, and...oh wait, that is what they're doi....

Yeah, but customers who already paid 2+ BTC will be pissed (like me) and think twice now - no return sales.

[EDIT] 2 weeks ago...

Supply and demand dictate the price. They *had* to lower the price because they produce more than they are selling. If they have a decent capacity, in some weeks you will see them at $25ish

And they still won't make a profit!

Probably not. But they will become an affordable novelty item, a cool gadget. At $100ish (1btc) they are a useless luxury that satisfies only the hard core fans.

As soon as the difficulty skyrockets, $25 will be too much. These babies will go down in price quickly.

Don't worry too much another round of suckers are going to be butt hurt right along with you shortly .

LOL new price ~$300/gh lmfao fucking beautiful.

I quite like them - that's the problem - they could have worked. I knew I was paying ott. I was expecting them to drop big style. To come up with a new plan of 1 BTC for 300 GH/s after the initial buzz wore off is a bad business decision.

TYPO!!!! although I sure would like to buy a 1 BTC 300GH/s USB miner Shocked

Ha - edited it back to MH - thanks

that also makes you a greedy f**k

The bitcoin universe is filled with greedy fucks. You need to realize that this is still money we're talking about, and money attracts greedy fucks.

Having said that, if you were selling widgets, and thousands of people offered you $200 per widget, would you say "naw, that's too much, $25 only"?

Too true, but I don't think that's the situation we're in right now. Something like 4,000 of the first 10,000 units had been sold as of a week ago?

And friedcat is panicking that the other 6000 wont sell. Nobody thinks 2 BTC was worth it (I didn't but I bought 2 to try it). Nobody thinks 1 BTC is worth it - the current price. Unless he does something (even more) drastic - he'll be left with thousands of unsold units.

It doesn't matter to him though, his chips have had their NRE long since covered. They are between $0.5 and $2 to make each, the most expensive part is prob the board itself now. His profit at 2BTC is in the order of thousands of percent. He can play this cost cutting game well into sub $10, think about it. Altough by that point he'd start charging for shipping on top.

I suppose you are right - made 1 million - could have made 10 - still made 1 million so fu...

And demand has dropped dramatically. Anyone can see that.
