A lot of people will tell you, "Think of the upfront costs" and that sort of thing. My opinion however is that it's nothing we haven't seen before. Maybe the customer makes money in the long run. Maybe it takes 6 months for the unit to pay for itself. The manufacturer on the other hand gets their profit up front. They don't have to wait 6 months, and they don't have to worry about whether the value of bitcoins will crash.

Certain profit today, vs. less certain profit of greater magnitude tomorrow. Seems familiar.
