On the other hand, if the price goes up, the early adopters benefit. If you think the price is more likely to fall than to rise, don’t bid. If you think the price is more likely to rise than to fall (or if you expect that supply will be insufficient and all capacity will sell out), then you might want to bid.
I do not consider it my job to protect you from losing money. I am not here to shield you from risk. I am here to give everybody an honest offering, with no information held back and no hidden gotchas. What you do with that opportunity is your responsibility, not mine.
The offer I’m making is simple: Hashrate in exchange for up-front money. I will deliver on that contract exactly as I promise to.
