i think miners are doing it for hobby/network securing
investors are moving on from mining (at least at this time) to shares and things like that.

People who buy miners with massive amount of gH/s is hoping to hit the big motherload, and/or to support the network.
I just like the blicking LED on the block erupter. ^^

Do people really care about supporting the network? I think most people only care about more money Smiley

Mining helps me keep the voices in my head to a minimum.  As long as I mine, THEY will leave me alone.
