The hashrate is still highly overpriced.

I'm thinking it'll go back up again in the 0.035 range... Or at least I hope for my sake!

Probably a result of more competition coming into the marketplace everyone is starting to dump it en masse, when more scrypt hashing stuff comes out they'll be finished.

That's what I thought around Christmas time. After plummeting, it came back up in the 0.045 range in Jan.

You never know...

Wishful thinking, hoping, and praying are all terrible investment strategies.

Well said.

The current price ~0.028 is highly overpriced.
To get the price back up, you either need
(a) difficulty increase at a much slower pace in the future
(b) more people buying hashrate with no idea about the profitability.

Of course the hashrate is overpriced; this is cex.io.

It really isn't about the mining but about the trading, as countless others have mentioned in the past.

Although I would agree that the new money coming in is more about mining.

Unfortunately, you are correct. cex.io is simply a game of Hot Potato where the last person holding the shares is the loser.

The problem is that most newbies don't know this, and think that they can make money from mining and they end up being the ones that are holding the worthless shares.

Look at all the referral links that people post. They need suckers to unload the shares onto so they tell people that cex.io is great for mining.

Exactly. It's why I make most of my BTC there, actually. I end up not caring about my amount of GH/s because, well, the mining is just a tiny bonus that comes second to the trading.

Cex.io can be very profitable for trading. The idea is you can be "mining" and making Bitcoins while holding the GHs then hopefully sell them down the road for a break-even or profit if lucky.

This doesn't work because the longer you hold the shares, the more money you risk losing. At this price, anyone that holds the shares will lose more than double the bitcoins that the shares will mine.

Man Cex.io prices confuse me, I have made some money from daytrading there, but for the most part I shy away from buying GH/s.  The price changes too often and too quickly for the average Joe who gets on to check his investments once or even a couple of times a day.  And it seems to change extremely sporadically, with no real reason to drop or go up.

That's why you should just trade and not hold your GHS. Whatever they do mine while you're holding is a mini bonus, but it's all about the trading...
