Asic profit WILL decrease no matter what. You must know that when you invest in. So far we have been really lucky that LTC price increase so much. With new batchs coming all the time, not only from bitmain now (A4+ and BW-L21), and BCC that went full PoS, we could earn much less than that.
Plus, I am happy that bitmain do not release any more L3+ until march/april, that give us a little time to mine without increasing the competition too much.
And lastly, if you have been hodling your LTC since 1 of october, you should have a pretty decent profit by now !
I certainly do not defend bitmain here, they are just as greedy as we are, but I don't see anything to complain about.
No it has been growing and if Bitmain is holding to March it would not continue to grow like it has. They and others are definitely mining with there equipment.
https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/litecoin-hashrate.htmlLook at how much it has grown since the very last part of the year! 40T to 105T That is almost triple in about a months time! Do not say they are not using the miners they are selling to mine with them first!
