The price/performance ratio it is ridiculous, you have to invest about 6-7 times more to get the same power with GPUs (1080 Ti) (Power requirement is ridiculous too). Hence this only increase the suspicious of another SCAM, like cryptonight ASIC, right now those things are huge, heavy and very expensive paperweights. Furthermore ASIC will increase dramatically network´s difficulty, and if the price can not hold the rhythm, the coin will die. People, you need to understand, that the problem is not ASIC devices, the problem is that the manufacturing of these is kidnaped by Bitmain, and them do not care about cryptocurrencies, mining or something related, (except BTC), they only want to sell their devices. If these destroys every coin, market in its path, and hence ASIC buyers ROI, it is no about their concern.
