The sooner people, as a whole, stop looking at mining as the only means to making BTC the better. This type of effortless 'mine and find' mentality is discouraging to merchants' willingness to accept BTC; only adding to the treatment of it as a volatile store of wealth instead of a valid form of currency. Want more BTC and a stronger, more valuable BTC market? Ask to be paid in BTC or offer something someone wants in exchange for it. Still waiting for hookers with QR codes tattooed on their ass. Maybe you want to look into that?

BOT: For the time being, yes, ASIC may be out of the reach of some due to financial restraint or simply coming too late to the game, but at some point there will be opportunities for those individuals to get a slice of the pie. This professional mining market is essentially in the fetal stage, and you should expect to see more approachable products, and particularly services that we haven't yet seen, from new emerging businesses and entrepreneurs. Just have to give it time. Until then, get out on that street corner and make some damn coin!
