Lol. I'm starting to warm up to you. You're so much more fun than a month ago

Ok, I want you to walk back in there and very calmly, very politely tell the risk assessors to fuck off! -Mark Baum

Ad for me - GPU mining is almost dead. This is sad, but this is true

I know many people who bought 10s of top tier GPUs in the last couple of months when they were overpriced. Because they joined the party late and didn't want to miss any more days. But the profitability on most GPU minable coins is very low now so many of them will start selling their whole rigs at half price. I expect this and if it really happens, I will buy them. It is a risk but I think that the demand for GPU mining is so big that new cryptocurrencies will come that will give advantage to GPUs again so there will always be a coin to mine. But people who are used to mining only ETH, will soon quit because it will not be profitable anymore.

I'm newer to the mining world and I can't help but notice the FOMO involved in trading is the same when you talk about mining. You can't get the big gains if you can't afford to take a short term loss/break even.

When Monero hard forks I'm predicting it will rise above Ethereum as the #1 most profitable GPU mined coin and well into 2019 at that. Sia is also forking off the ASICs.

This will reduce the price of GPU, at present 500$ vega 56 GPU is for sale at a price of 800-900$ Price is going high
Still, people use GPU and reason is
we can mine any coin using GPU mining we can use GPU for other purposes as well Resale value of GPU is high

SIA is coming out with their own asics, why would they fork off of them? They debated this awhile ago and decided they are not forking.

GPU mining will not die because the new algorithm X16R is anti ASICS and i believe most algorithm will move towards this direction

It can be profitable still but it is some fulishness to mine ETH and earn $0.5 per day on GTX 1070 card for example.

.50 a day is not really true.
Even if it was, it doesn't matter. You are getting coins. If you are mining and selling your .50c a day, then yes you are a fool. But if you are mining and holding it because we know bitcoin will be worth a ton one day, then who cares?
If you are gpu mining for 24 hour profit, definitely not worth it. But if you want coins, its worth it. You are thinking short term. You should say you are mining your 1070 for x eth a day. Or whatever you are mining / trading / collecting.

I descreased earnings by electricity costs of course. It can be meaningful then if ya dont sell earned coins right but collect them, yep. But another question is a bit complicated. Why do not just buy coins instead of buying overpriced GPU or ASICs.

Buying coins directly is far too easy. To choose the harder path is usually more rewarding, and the hardest path possible to obtain crypto is via mining.

In the terms of effectiveness the longest and hardest way is very seldom the best. You will never win. But it is a lot of fun there, I agree.

Also mining solo or in smallish pools on bigger coins is very fun. Its like the lottery.
I buy coins too, don't get me wrong. I have bought way more coins than I mined. But mining, playing with computers and tech is fun.
Interested to see what the next card will be too. Could be a game changer.

Yep, I agree with this. It is fun and it can be usefull for increasing tech skills in some fields.

The top of the line cards now can hardly make 1 dollar. Even if a new card comes out it won't matter if it only makes 59 cents more

Bitcoin is going up again and altcoins usually follow some days later, this might help profit, problem is really asics, only gpu is fine and is the future.
