It's apparently extremely useful for transferring money ... and if you can really buy an asic for $1500 and make $300/mo with it, that is a nice investment-- that said, since they're more difficult to make as more people start trying to make them, who knows if that'd continue for very long.

What is so special about ASIC anyway? Back in the day, that is why you could not use a regular smart card for DSS- you had to have "a real asic"

I grant you that this is all very very interesting but it's still based on nothing. It's "worth" what people are paying for it, but just like a nice shiny $300k automobile-- sure it's great and you can get $200k all day long for it today, but if it gets wrecked tomorrow you get $50k for it .... get it?
