This. And if you have one then better go far back and start mining gold and pumping oil.

A healthy heart, really the volatility is even more crazy than small stocks and junk bonds.

More money than you have and a power station.

Or a time machine :P

 

Although you could probably build a time machine with the money you would be spending on the resources to mine anything nowadays.

Is the butterfly labs miner worth it? This is it: https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/10-gh-s-bitcoin-miner.html

No, butterfly labs has been under a lot of heat lately for not delivering on there products although, that is a last gen miner from them it's also overpriced. I would reccomend 5 antminer u2 at $20 so $100 for the miners plus say $30 or so for a nice powered usb hub. Here's 2 mining profitability calculators I found awhile back.

Also, I don't reccomend buying from Amazon since most of the prices are higher than they should be. eBay is where I get all of my miners and I've never had a problem.
