Comment on Bitcoin ASIC Miner from BFL, finallyparent

Comments

bitcoin does not work that way. Inflation decreases at a set rate.

Difficulty adjusts week-to-week. Being the only guy with an ASIC is like a license to print money. Being the 10,000th person with an ASIC will be like trying to mine with a netbook today.

Supply will always be constant however how it's divided changes -- people who previously enjoyed lack of competition are now having their feet held close to the fire.
