I have not earned anything from August, last earning was when I sold some BTC, although it was earned in April. The only way to survive in this situation is to wait for good days to come. Mining is very expensive now a days. It was profitable till june 2017. Due to increase in prices miners, graphic cards and other stuff like electricity.
May-June was worst but when everyone thinks that the coming "ber" months will really change the situation, but it was a complete opposite. August was the start when campaign started to dry up although the price was relatively stable at around $6K. However, November was the low point of Bitcoin when the price went down to $3K and we haven't recovered as of yet.
It's hard to predict when this market will start to fully recover.
People are just saying based on their speculation and they could be right or wrong, and what happen is that most of us are wrong with the price prediction.
But, we are still here surviving, though the market dry up, the hope is still in us that this will eventually turn to be a real bullish.
