If no one is making any profit, how will anything get developed and brought to market? You are predicting the end of bitcoin mining, which I feel is unlikely. Folks will always find improved designs, improved processes, and will continue to profit for the foreseeable future.

500 TH is about to be up for sale in the short term, which will increase the dividends significantly for at least 8 weeks.

OK, I think I can open a course in this thread. Tuition can be sent to the following address: 15oEsWK3UjtnkrhvgKeDGTQuqdprMkfXya ,minimum 1BTC. I'm serious because this will save you a lot of BTC.

You guys should learn how the world works. You should learn physics before learning investing.
There is no such thing as making money. Making NO money or losing money is a common thing. Making money is a miracle. When someone is making money, that means others are losing money. In an ideal equilibrium world, no one is making any money and the world works just fine. You get the illusion that Y company is make X% profit simple because you are living in a fiat world. Fiat money is a inflation money. The total amount of money(the flow of money to be specific) increases each year, that's where the profit comes from. While BTC is a deflation money, making money is even harder in BTC world. The mining companies such as ASICMiner make a lot of "money" is a strange and rare phenomenon. This is possible simple because we are in the early stage of BTC development, lots of resources go to the money makers. But this will not last very long. It's going to end very soon. The dividend of ASICMiner will be very limited if it will not vanish at all.

there is also an "equilibrium" to how much share of the network a company would have. it would require "collusion" maybe not so much a secret one but one that kind of makes sense on it's own. this is an "arms" raise and there is no point in making chips/asics on an exponential basis. if they all agree to a certain market share it makes more sense then building out asics nonstop. that's the only way to win here as opposed to constantly deploying/selling
