After this rally (currently around 200$), when do you think we will have again an opportunity to buy "cheap" bitcoins?

But they are cheap now. Try mining 1 BTC to see the costs and figure it out for yourself.

It costs more than 1 BTC to mine 1 BTC.

In order to profit from my last mining investment, I literally had to re-sell my miner JUST after I bought it and mined for a few days. If I had held onto it for even a couple more weeks, I likely would have lost. The fact that the system relies on other people buying your old equipment shows that it, in total, is unprofitable.

By this logic, buying or renovating a rental property is a terrible idea. Wrong.

The point being made here is that the price needs to go up to keep this thing alive. And it will. I do like the comparison of having rental property and being a miner. Just when everything is going smooth all hell breaks loose.

Do you realize that it is only 18k BTC till $150? One whale selling and we are there. Roll Eyes

All we need is a catalyst. This rally has run up so fast on so little support. But it's exuberance all around! $1000 by tomorrow! 13,000 CNY by next week! Cheesy

This, and with the amount of ASIC preorders, 200$ is still cheap

when one of the major bitcoin exchanges goes out of business. which could be anytime.

Should Mt.Gox go out of business then the price will plummet.

I'm tempted to say never, but not confident enough just yet.

I hope it does. I'd LOVE to buy more at that price but I just don't see it happening.

good answer..

mining is out of the question... if you factor in all the risks involved getting the mining equipment....

question of "cheap" aside, i think we will see sub-$150 within a week or two as this fizzles out... sub-$100 may be out of the question now, though.

There is no such thing as a cheap bitcoin any more than there is a cheap federal Reserve note.

Nice poll to see the overall sentiment around here (paired with the topic about when it will hit 300)
