I personally have hope.
Very fast increase of difficulty created situation when no manufacture want to build and sell new equipment and even if it will happened nobody want to buy it.
At same time price of DASH go up.
People who already have equipment need to be patient.
Most likely it will be NO MORE equipment for sale, so I will be just mining DASH, keep it and wait for price increase.
Profitability is under $5 a day for most people and if you bought at $1000 itll still be a pretty long time until you even make ROI. The price of Dash will have to go up quite a bit to make any profit from a D3 at $1000.
