Well looks like the OP was proven not once, but 3 times wrong:
I understand the message, but please try to avoid talking absolutes unless you're really factually correct.
We're in a state of equilibrium right now, with mining hash rate, difficulty, costs, etc...profitability is completely out the window except for the miners that make the chips or hosting centers that have partnerships with the ASIC manufacturers.
Joe Blow miner is operating in the red right now, and pretty much turned off all his hardware.
I could easily see a few more drops in Hash Rate and difficulty before the end of the year.
