You know that since sha256 Asics become in the market, the btc value it's gone to the stars. It's possible that the same thing happen to ltc.
Beg your pardon.
The $1200 per BTC price came the end of November 2013 (eight months ago, an eternity in the mining world), when a miner with ONLY a Jupiter hashing @ 600 GH/sec made a killing (approx $30K USD profit return). Pure profit, nice-n-sweet. I know this because of I was one of those miners.
Today everyone and their mother are selling sha256 Asic miners and as a result, that former happy miner @ 600 GH/sec is getting squat for his mining efforts. Rigs are now in the TH/sec range.
The fiat value from that time to today has HALVED and the hashing power required is now several orders of magnitude. How exactly has "btc value gone to the stars?" Do you have any sense of history?
I remember when I had 7 asciminer blades (13 GH/s per blade) that got me around 80-ish GH/sec and I was mining at least .8 to 1.2 BTC EACH DAY. I just checked @ dustcoin.com and hold onto your seat, to get that much BTC will now require you to have a 35 TH/sec miner(s), a stunning increase of 58x.
That's right FIFTY EIGHT TIMES more hash required. Has the fiat value gone up likewise? Insultingly, no ---it has gone DOWN by HALF.
I would say that contrary to your observation, the ever increasing power of asics have REDUCED the yields of most miners in general and has LOWERED the fiat money return per X hashing power SUBSTANTIALLY, not raised anything.
Pretty soon only petahash conglomerates will be mining and us mom-n-pop at home mining operations will wither away.
