Bought mine in 2013 for !@#$ all and have sold a bunch so even if my 78 (which are worth close to $1600.00 can each) fall off the face of the earth and get me nothing, I still made money.

 

Now having said that. Nobody is paying close to $1600 can right now. I can sell them all tomorrow for $1200.00 each but I am in wait and see mode.

 

Gotta love the speculation business!

I tried to purchase some bitcoin a while back and gave up. Not only is the process convoluted but you get boned on exchange rates. For example this site wanted you to buy gift cards with cash, but after the transaction you are left with a third of the value in bitcoin. No thanks.

A few colleagues realized the mining would lead to a huge demand in certain computer products and made a decent return on stocking up on the cards, I don't know the specifics as I'm not of that world...

Bitcoin is like speculating on comic books or action figures. Right now they're hot, but it's only worth what a collector is willing to pay.

 

At it's core, it's a pyramid scheme; only the early adopters get rich. The rest are just shuffling money around.

I've looked into BTC but the the electricity cost to value of coins mined ratio represents a net loss

the two most obvious things to be considered, are indeed the operating costs (electricity) and upfront costs (hardware) that will factor into the profitability aspect. then there is the little known Difficulty factor which recalculates every 13/14 days or so and the Pool fees that you pay.

 

that being said, i currently pay around 10 cents a kiloWatt hour and it is still very profitable for me. with my current hashing power, i make enough every month to cover my operating expenses and pay my mortgage.
