BTC ain't likely to hit 10K while difficulty is this side of 10 billion... ergo by then they will be mining 14 cents a day, whoop de woo.
Bitcoin would have to go up past $120,000 tomorrow, on this difficulty, for a USB block eruptor to make $10 a day. I mean you cooooould be making $10 a day deferred 5 years if you like to think about it that way. But in half the world (Europe, parts of US) they're not even making electricity cost right now.
No need for a flame war here. @pontiacg5, you simply missed his point that it is more profitable to buy 0.01 BTC for $10 than to buy a BE for $10 because the BE is going to mine at most 0.006 BTC.
Never did I say that a BE is a good idea, just that the value of one is based on the exchange rate. If the exchange rate goes up while difficulty stays the same (as it did in nov.) then you get this thread, asking why.
So this twat comes along, quotes a post from two months ago, and says "noobs." It has nothing to do with noobs, and everything to do with the exchange rate.
