One thing to say mining bitcoin consumes a large amount of electricity and it would take lots of equipment to manned the mining. There should be a development in making the cost of bitcoin lower; given that lower mining cost could yield a higher profit. However, it matters on trading and exchanges.
This is about the old propaganda about electricity consumption. Everything that you can plug on a wall socket specifically ASIC miners are not consuming extra amounts of electricity. They are just computers with cooling fans. On the contrary gaming consoles are a problem. You spend too much from the gaming media to the console to the LCD screens to the electricity consumption but you can't earn while doing it. Mining Bitcoins is different. It will consume electricity but there will be rewards. Which would you rather choose. Gaming or mining?
