People forget that the main reason why people buy the miners is to make money. It's not a do or die sort of thing. If you're willing to play, you have to be willing to cough up the prices currently dictated by the market. No one's making you buy it.

On the flip side, people mass buying these miners with the intent to resell them should know there's a big risk of not being able to sell your stock. If the market's down and there's no demand for them, that's just too bad. Anything goes in crypto.
