Hmm... lets see:

(1) I've profited from various business deals relating to bitcoin
(2) I now have assets that no-one can seize or hyperinflate
(3) I have a chance to start my own business with ZERO licensing and legal fees - in the "real world" it would have cost probably half a million dollars to start, therefore requiring me to sell off major equity, deal with corrupt regulatory agencies, etc. ( the big banks own the regulators, their real job is to kill the little guy )
(4) I have made new friends. This forum has a lot of smart and funny people ( not enough women though Wink )
(5) I'm having FUN! A LOT of it.
(6) Bitcoin is awesome. Very.

Hmmm, anything else I'm missing here?

Few extra grand in my pocket and a wealth of computer hardware knowledge obtained in the past year --> soooo stupid.

Get out before you get eaten alive.

Remind me to go dutch when we finally meet up for dinner.

Oh no, don't think you're gettin' out of this one, Slick.

And I'm going to need a strong drink to get that acidic taste out of my mouth  Cheesy

so I assume they, like Ferrari engines, don't last long before needing expensive maintenance?

Right, except they have no expensive moving parts (only the fan) and not anywhere near as much heat.  As long as you keep your fan from accumulating too much dust and throwing a bearing, they should last at least a decade.  If the fan does go, most miners will shut themselves off.  As soon as you replace the fan for < $10 you'll be good to go again.

Ok OP,

1)  So, you come on the forum looking for highly-skilled programmers to develop a website for you...no luck.

2)  Attitude quickly turns belligerent and you start talking about disharmony within the community.  Alright.

3)  Then, you want to be a taxi driver for BTC...OK.

4)  No response.

5)  Then, this thread is created.  Attitude quickly shifts again and the arrogance of the all-knowing emerges.

Note:  You registered less than 2 weeks ago.

So, a few possibilities emerge.  Since you claim you had known about BTC for months, my guess is that you either missed out on the June Bubble or lost quite a bit on the way down from it and are bitter.  Obviously, you didn't get in before the June bubble and escape with a handsome profit or you wouldn't be here bitching about the "little game" we're playing.  

It's also possible you're just mentally unstable and are largely unaware of your apparent contradictions in personal intention.

A few other possibilities exist, but they aren't much brighter.

My advice:  Don't be so bitter.  When ASIC miners are released, if you act quick enough you will be able to catch another glorious opportunity to profit.  Don't be late to the bus 'cause it's going to be jam-packed.  
  

ASIC miners. lol.

wtf are those?

GPUs are like busses.  They don't go very fast and they require a lot of energy, but they take you wherever you want to go, accommodate many people, and are appropriate for a variety of occasions.

FPGAs are like hybrids.  They still don't go very fast and accommodate fewer people, but they conserve energy and still are appropriate for a variety of occasions.

ASICs are like Ferraris.  They have one purpose and one purpose only -- to go fast and to be as efficient at doing this as possible.

well if that crap goes up to $100 it may be worth it to mine with a BFL single that will take weeks to receive. and still, you might make only $40-$50 a day. What a joke. the government prints that in an amount of time so small, it cannot be measured. see, you are so blind with your game. that's exactly what they want.

Ok ok, you got me.  I'm interested.

1)  So, why are you here?

2)  ^^  HUH?!

are you paying any attention to the things that are going on in the world? or are you so far lost in this game they shove down your throat? you think bitcoin creators are looking out for your interests?? heck no, they have their interests in mind.. they're just selling this bridge to nowhere to the "little people". it's just a cleverly crafted scheme by the elites to keep you chasing dreams instead of seeing how they are completely robbing your life. they train you to deny it.

OMG, Rush Limbaugh it took you this long to find this forum ?

Few extra grand in my pocket and a wealth of computer hardware knowledge obtained in the past year --> soooo stupid.

Get out before you get eaten alive.

you built some mediocre mining rigs and chatted with a few energy drink addicted college kids who are supported by the successes of their parents for the most part.

not impressed.


I built some mediocre mining rigs from scratch having never touched the inside of a computer before in my life.

I invested in precious metals (purchased with BTC) to add to my BTC investment.  Hence, I have created a small investment portfolio.

Because of BTC, I have now tasted the world's hottest pepper, have donated money to charity, have become more familiar with tax laws and other banking/financial legal jargon, have two Bitcoin condoms with which I can bang the incredibly hot girl I'm dating (after that, we can play naked Bitcoin ultimate frisbee), have ample heat during the long Midwest winter free of cost, have been paid for Bitcoin-related services and products, have conducted international business transactions in the middle of the night, and I'm basically guaranteed to be rich if Bitcoin really turns the mainstream corner.

Soooo stupid.

This.  This x100.  

Every single piece of this paragraph is perfect.

Hey you dumbfuck OP.....I took an 11,000 BTC loan, collaterlalized with my epic mining farm and purchased a large equity stake in a 47 year old, highly profitable business....which coincidentally yields 20-25% per year.  That was pretty stupid, I know.

Hey Joint, where can I get some of those condoms??  Not that I need them, my wife lets me bang her bareback.....I just want to display them, having paid with a stupid game for nerds.  

you cannot convince me of this junk. regardless of your pseudo success in this little game.
