Let me clarify:
We all want to gain, we all want to win, we all want to make money. Whether it's for us, our family , whatever.
The point here is that buying miners is an investment. You give some of your hard earned money to purchase equipment. They are not money machines or printers printing money. But EVERYONE of us is buying after days of calculating the mining profitability on coinwarz and others. So yes, YOU DO CARE ABOUT MONEY. So first learn the real reason why you purchased the L3+ , and stop calling me a hypocrite. Also it does help playing it like you are the mother Theresa of crypto currency, telling us that you didn't buying a money making machine, but you bought them with the bright idea that you will contribute to the crypto industry by solving transactions for LTC. Please...
Take a look at Baikal. Even the small 150mhs mini miners keep selling at high prices. They are discontinued, but still selling around 1000-1500$us.
They don't mass produce. x11 was sold out on Genesis, and look how they keeping it healthy buy limiting the purchases at 100$/day / person. Look how people get excited when Baikal releases a miner or when they anounce they have some units back in stock...
Bitmain is doing a great job, dont get me wrong. But if every 3 weeks they have new batches of thousands of units, we will soon need 4-5 L3+ in order to mine what 1 L3+ is mining today. This means that at 40LTC/machine , it wont be profitable to purchase 4 machines at 160LTC to mine 25 LTC a month....
I will keep saying, if Bitmain keeps selling, THEY will get fucked. Not me , not you. Because at the end , we will ROI, and then stop mining. But they will run out of business IF if it becomes impossible to mine LTC at a profit. Of course they will come out with a 1000mh/s machine soon, and mass sell that one... But it is not a healthy strategy to sell like that. Regardless of the outcome of all that, it is just not healthy at all.
Be well
Are you lost or just fucking stupid....
If you are worried about the investment you should just sell your machines again. We had 1 freaking batch that was available only in LTC and the last one already accepted wire transfers again.
If you think the 40LTC value are worth more in 1 year by buying and holding them instead of mining, buy it and stop bitching...
A fucking miner cost around 2k dollar right now, pay with cash, mine WHATEVER fucking coin you want and after 12 month you will have a ROI. Will it be less than 40LTC? Who cares if you want to mine, want to support the network and want to be part of the security that it prolongs!
If you are just looking on your LTC investment vs LTC output, stay in you dark room, crunch numbers and buy yourself 40LTC...
You are all so high on the recent rally its ridiculous. Tell any banker you make 100% ROI on your investment (again you will make more than 2k dollar after 12 month no mater what you mine) and he will laugh in your face
And Bitmain will not go out of business. They don't need your stupid 2k for a miner. They can mine themselves, sell the coins and all is well. The only reason they sell some are that people like you think they are big shots who won the lottery with their magic machine
