i mine eth. mainly to offset the cost of the videocards that are going into my next builds.

anyone who mines accepts the fact that the coin they are mining could faceplant tomorrow. its part of the mining game.
Well that would be the way for veteran miners, but a shitload of eth miners are people who missed the bitcoin boat and hope to ride on the next big thing...

But from the forum, I see very famous miners like Helix, Marvel9, philips 1957 etc are all adding rigs.

I mean they have lots of mining rigs and are willing to help other people. It seems they are still adding.

some people have very good power prices. they can afford to mine till very low eth prices. and since amd and nvidia are now both on 14/16 nm its not like the new rx4x0 and 10x0 series cards will be obsolete  anytime soon.

after all you can still switch to another coin or sell the cards later. makes the risk much smaller than a one currency asic type of investment.
