In the long run, you might still be profitable. There was a time when GPU mining was not profitable (if you immediately wanted to sell the coins) but if you hold on to the coins, it might be worth it later.

Right, but you have to compare it to how many coins you could just buy outright for that investment.  Apples to apples.  If I could buy 25 coins for 2500 vs. how many coins can we mine?  It all depends on that ramp up of total hash rate.  I'll break even on my box but a few months out, it might no longer cover the cost of electricity.
