GPU mining will never die, Now we have a few massive projects Raven as example ones completed will be better then ETH and new coins with better algos will come out and ask for our support.
My Point .....I'm mining raven
The other thing is ASIC is a door stop once it's used up . if they could some how over come that i think it might be worth it . as it stands now what they do it suck you in with low prices then as it things get better faster with ASIC you need 10 k worth of shit or more just to make a few bucks a day with ASIC ... look at BTC and what a 16 th ASIC miner gets you a day and then go back a few years and see what a ASIC 1 th would give you with ASIC miing it was better more Profitable etc till they destroyed it for all but the rich after greed kicked in all I"m saying is why ? .there is more then enough to go around and all ways will be why be greedy share it.
Raven is interesting, im mining it on nvidia but as always amd mine raven like trash so most of my gpus are on eth and xmr till someone released an optimized x16r miner for amd.
how u figure that raven is better that eth though? 48mill market cap vs 80 billion and thousands of daps and developers towards eth.
Raven market cap is 49.000.000 today, but ones fully develop it will be top 15 in crypto. I believe with a market cap of 3.000.000.000 in a year or 2. it has all the similarities to BTC including - no one is controlling that coin, unlike to ZEC or ETH. Project whitepaper is interesting, road map, big community and big volumes on the exchanges.
