Lol what a stupid opinion, simpleton. I don't care either way about AMD or Nvidia, I just enjoy calling out idiots on both sides of the fence. You come off as knowing my post history, so you'd know that if you actually did know anything about my post history. I own, have owned, and will continue to own hardware from either side.
What about my predictions? They are based on limited info (who would have predicted ASICs delay and a price surge like that? You? Don't make me laugh). Just because my predictions aren't always right doesn't mean they are always wrong, and we have already seen that $266 was a bubble, just as I had said. Whether we are in a dead cat bounce or already hit the nadir, I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Also, on 4/3/2013 I said in this thread that difficulty would double or triple in a month or two even if Avalon, FPGAs, and GPUs were the only drivers. On 5/7/2013 we see GH/s rate has gone up from 45 to 80 GH/s between 4/3/2013 and 5/7/2013, so it's taken a little over a month to double, and it may well triple after another 4 weeks. So my prediction was accurate on that, too.
Now we have BFL shipping, ASICminer shipping, Avalon is spamming ASIC chips, and many people on bitcointalk are thinking that difficulty will go up another 7-10 times over the next few months. There are TONS of threads on ASIC and FPGA shipments past, present, and future and only the willfully ignorant would ignore that. Latest predictions on bitcointalk are inthe 7-10x difficulty range by August. A drop of 70-90% revenue means more than 70-90% drop in profits if you have any operating costs at all such as electricity. I have never ever said it wasn't economic to mine on a card you got for other reasons, just cautioned against buying a ton of GPUs right now. It's a gamble on prices remaining high and difficulty not increasing so fast that it makes the entire enterprise uneconomic. It's not "doom and gloom" to advise against gambling unless you really understand the risks.
Your post history almost speaks for itself.

In your most recent page of posts alone, we have you calling me a "simpleton" with a "stupid opinion." Cussing at "dumbasses" who had the temerity to disagree with you. Telling people to "stop whining like a bitch." Picking a fight with Fx1 with the oh so mature "you mad bro?" Posting an image that got you a moderator smackdown probably because it was about as mature as your other posts. Another "you're the bitch" rant. And that's just your FIRST PAGE of post history.
Your slant has been there for ages.

Don't gimme that "I own both sides" b.s. That's almost a time-honored tradition around here, to say you can't be biased because you've owned both sides, even though you mostly rag on one side and one side only. Not to name names but it's almost comical how I've seen people claim to own NV or AMD hardware and then crap on it all the time anyway. It doesn't prove anything. Keysplayer owns AMD hardware from time to time, but it doesn't change which side he's on.
Your biases aside, you've been shockingly rude to a lot of people on here. I have no idea why you're not banned already. In fact, I'm not sure why you aren't on my Ignore list already. Welcome to my ignore list.
