> Seven months after purchase
Hahaha. Many people waited over a year.
> If Butterfly Labs had shipped their devices anything like on schedule, it would have been easier to make a small profit.
Only for the people who ordered pre-2013 (as they were supposed to ship Oct. 2012), and back when btc was $10. That would exclude you.
As others mention, bitcoin as a currency seems to have a better chance of ROI (or at least quicker ROI), unless you can get in on the shipping and upcoming 28nm ASICs. I feel bad for the people who ordered from BFL using bitcoin back in 2012.
- daemin 13y agoI wonder if BFL kept the bitcoins or changed them over to hard currency then?
- jerguismi 13y agoYou mean soft currency? Bitcoin is the hardest currency to exist, you know... http://stakeventures.com/articles/2012/03/07/the-may-scale-of-money-hardness-and-bitcoin http://stakeventures.com/articles/2012/03/07/the-may-scale-o...
- daemin 13y agoI'm a bit dubious of that scale. Like what can you buy in a shop for gold or silver bullion? I know friends that trade in silver coins, but I don't see them walking into a store to buy things with such coinage.
