I need to start recording bold predictions like this in some sort of journal. EDIT: I meant in general, not just for bitcoin.
Want me to write a browser extension that submits such quotes to the Internet Archive in their WARC format? :)

The recent run-up is nothing. The price will be $300/BTC by next week and $3000/BTC by next year.

I'm more interested in mining them. Is it too late to start jumping on the BTC train ? Do you need special processors? Last I remember, you could still mine Bitcoins using GPUs.
CPU Mining is possible but not profitable. GPU mining is the traditional and the best way. The thing is, if you have a very bad GPU you might not make any profit. The electrial costs are going to be a pain in that case. If you have a fairly decent GPU, you can still mine and shine but expect a really low profit. If you aren't worried about the electrial costs ( as GPU is running 100% 24/7 ) then you could mine very w…
I've heard it's more profitable to mine Litecoin then convert to BTC at this point.

You can still mine with AMD GPUs but the difficulty has been rising fast due to the release of ASICs. For example, right now a Radeon HD 7970 will earn you about 1.4 BTC per month. ASICs are not for sale anywhere. You can preorder from butterfly labs but there is no indication when they will ship.
Are the employees being paid in fixed Bitcoin amounts, or amounts relative to a USD-based (or other local currency) salary?

Why not an FPGA?

I don't see why decent ASICs will ever be for sale. It'll be more profitable to run them than to sell them so the manufacturers will keep them.
