Almost all other non-Scrypt, ASIC resistant coins are on the rise.
If these become valuable someday, ASIC will be build for these coins as well. There is not anything like ASIC resistant, just how much more ASIC can be more power effective over general purpose CPU/GPU
Its not about ASICs, its all about the gangs who make them.
The crooked ways in which they are distributed. The way control is snaffled.
If they were available as an off the shelf commodity I would be just fine with the idea.
And by the way, for modern multi algo coins ASICs are not a choice, too expensive.
FPGAs fit much better and are widely available.
