Now's a good time to buy since prices have dropped a bit.

Looks like it has stopped dropping now.

Wonder how long it will bumble along before it starts rising again.

85% of it's value lost in a week.

Who would have thought that magical Libertarian beanie babies being mined out of imaginary money mines would be so unstable?

Yeah, but if you want to make a fast buck, now's the time to buy.

Sorry, I misread the chart. But it went from closer to 1250 to close to 600, so it's close to a 50% loss of value.

It lost value at a rate similar to Black Thursday.

Still not great, but not as bad :D

It seems to be edging back up. With how its value has rocketed as it got into the public eye it was always going to happen. Hopefully now it will go to a more steady level now that the boom has happened. We shall see I guess.

It wouldn't be a fast buck given that it's next to impossible to cash them out

Even if that guy with the £4m or whatever in buttcoins found his hard drive, he'd never be able to cash out more than a few thousand at a time without selling to hundreds of buyers directly or getting cosy with one of the clear as mud 'trusts' or exchanges.

FWIW the amount a bitcoin mining rig will cost you in parts, power and cooling (mummy strawberry floaters are gigantic) will completely destroy any profit you get from the coins themselves.

That doesn't stop people doing things like this for our entertainment though:

I do wonder if those things would ever be profitable. Would be interesting to see some figures written out in an interesting way, especially so if the answer is 'never'.

There are a lot of calculators out there that will tell you if / when your kit will breakeven based on cost of purchase, power usage and estimated income based on the kits hash rate.
