So I guess I just need to know if it is worth it to mine monero on gpu and just to hold them long-term, not for immediate profit.  I plan on letting rig sit there for a couple years and mine. Then let the coin sit in my wallet for like 5 years and see what happens. Let's assume I would lose in terms of CURRENT expenses vs market value now, bit in 5 years monero is worth $150. Then was it worth it?   

But if mining GPU is pointless because ASIC miners would prevent me from getting enough coin to matter in years to come, then I guess I will choose another coin.
