ASICs start to play a big role at scale. To me the phrase "big iron" signals towards them.

it's not #dogecoin-market, that's the public channel that they push positive messages to. They run their schemes in #marketmakers, an invite-only channel on freenode.

You're sitting on $80m in BTC, head down to the local electronics store in Great Aunt's/Grandma's town and buy a new one.

Re:Google Fiber is live in Kansas City, real-world speeds at 700 Mbps

My understanding is that the new build out is cheaper than traditional HFC builds. The difference here is incumbent providers would need to abandon large swaths of their infrastructure to compete with a disruption play in Kansas.
Google is spot on to roll out FTTH, but existing plants aren't going to disappear any time soon, and likely will not react to the disruption play at large.

Google Fiber is a disruption play in a limited market. While not a loss leader, this type of roll out isn't cheap, especially for existing plants.
That being said, I'm jealous, so very jealous of Kansas right now.
