Ya i dont see bitcoins being very high in the future.... they are now because ppl are in a frenzy, so i dont hope for future profit either. Its not like btc will be like 1 million dollars one day, i think in the future they will stabilize and be much lower.
Right now if I do the math my setup would cost roughly $70 a month. i mine 1 mil satoshi every 15 minutes. if i would get 300 satoshi per mil ($0.025 in todays value 1btc = 8533.42usd) and mine 24-7, i would earn $72. So anything below 300 satoshi would be a loss period, i dont mine for losses.
I wouldn't be that pessimistic. There is a chance that if BTC gets mass adoption - now is still in very few hands compared on the mass population of the world - it will naturally increase in value because it's a limited resource. Maybe the satoshis of today will be equal the dollars of tomorrow, who knows

Even if it will ever happen, I don't think it won't be any time soon. I hope you're right because, in this case, the negligible amount of satoshi I own today would make me somebody economically happier. Anyway it is a good point and I stand also with that.
My opinion is that I can "lose" something today when I am mining/collecting, but what I'm losing is something that won't bring me to bankruptcy. It is a kind of bet: if I lose it I won't lose too much, but if I win it I can win a lot
