Seems Bitcoins have made a remarkable comeback from the other reply's on this post because today 5/10/2014 I just checked the Bitcoin exchange rate and it came back as 1 Bitcoin = $452.75
The problem with Bitcoins is they are virtual, and people can lose them really easily because they are invisible.
If you need bitcoin i would recommend btc jam or borrowbitcoin . net they provide loans for bitcoin!
Did you buy?It's funny that this thread was bumped, I actually just got back into the bitcoin game about a week ago after looking into ASIC miners. Avalon beat BFL to the punch, but when BFL starts shipping thousands of units the difficulty is going to exponentially increase in no time. It's a shame because if only one of the most powerful ASIC miners (the 1,500 GH/S miner) was out, it could be pulling up to $8,000 worth of bitcoins per day--absolutely ridiculous. But because of the thousands of orders, people are projecting a difficulty around 50x higher than what it currently is in just a few months, making each machine earn way less. It's hard to imagine dropping $30,000 on a machine like that, because once the machine becomes unprofitable to run, you have a $30,000 doorstop lol. But damn if you could get one early it would pay for itself quickly.
Anyways, I'm looking into some other solutions to make mining bitcoins more profitable, it's extremely interesting now that they are worth almost $50 each, and I'm kicking myself for not buying them when they were $4/piece... Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 lol.

All the people reading this thread will be laughing at themselves for not buying.lol...
Didn't buy in at $20 in 2011 because they were $4 in 2010.
Wonder if you bought in at 2013 even though it was $50 then
