1500$ is not too bad if you are planning to buy, for sure
bitcoin price was in the 600-900$ range this period of time two years ago and nobody complained:

and it has been under 1500$  until May 2017, but if you HODL or bought at 7.000$ or, god forbid, 15.000+ , the price is not very inspiring
smaller miners will cry tears too and it could lead to more centralisation if the drop continues
