You assume that point is still far away; it could be upon us in october. And the sooner it happens, the better, ironically.

Ive been away for a while, but AFAICS, new mining hardware is still selling for ~$800/TH. Used hardware isnt going to fetch the same price, especially not when its cryptx selling  as he utterly blew his reputation on that. And in two months, prices will have come down further, but lets optimistically guestimate cryptx could still fetch $300/TH. Thats ~0.6BTC at todays low exchange rate. Or 0.00062BTC per unit. Hardly trivial considering the current market price which isnt even twice that.

Of course, two months from here, its entirely possible BTC value will have doubled, which would reduce the miner's BTC denominated value almost proportionally,  and prolong the current flow of money towards cryptx fees while market prices per TH continue to tumble. Moreover I suspect cryptx will lower his fees once mining revenue is almost equal to minng fees, as its far more economical for him to continue mining (read: collect fees) than sell the hardware and having to hand out the proceeds.

And lets not forget; I didnt only predict that PETA shares would drop dramatically in price, I also made another prediction; I dont have a time line for that, but sooner or later, cryptx will face regulatory issues, and the impact of that could be very severe. Possibly very positive for IPO investors  (think Activeminer), possibly disastrous for everyone.
