I think you need to remember you are owed nothing in life. if the asic pays for it self in a year you are doing well. every asic that is purchased is a gamble unless you have free power. any coin can fork and cause it to become a brick just look at sia they forked so only their own miners worked and how fast is there profit falling?
Reading through this chat makes me think.
Are people investing the first time in ASIC´s?
Do they even know what an ASIC is?
Do they know why the profits are dropping and that the manufacturer can´t do jack shit about it?
Dont´t they know that the company is the only guys which are earning something on those things if they sell them for 4000-7500 + never stop selling them?
Do people just look at the first Profit calculation and go all in before doing any research at all?
I think you are one of zig mainer employers who is siding with them when we pay 6000$ for a asic we expect to make this back in less than a year not that it would take two years to just make up the money for the device and thats not even guaranteed
