I dont pre order anything bitcoin related after numerous vaporware and the BFL saga which is still ongoing.

  It's a shame that the standard terms in the Bitcoin world are now 100% paid 6 months in advance preorders. I realize that Bitcoin has attracted a lot of get-rich-quick suckers, but it seems like Bitcoin companies are trying to drive away any non-suckers. Or maybe this is just what a race to the bottom looks like.

It's not "a shame" because it's what individual market participants each chose to tolerate. If you don't like it, offer better terms and steal their business, but don't complain about other people's voluntary acceptance of transaction terms.

      I don't think honest businesses can compete on a level playing field with companies that are indistinguishable from scams. Hence stuff like the FTC, although I realize many Bitcoiners would like to try a world without such regulation.
