Not necessarily. Because once the ASICs come to the market, the mining difficulty will shoot up. So it might be 10x more powerful, but it might also be 10x more difficult to mine at that time.

If I were to have one NOW and nobody else does, then yes, I would be making 10x more than what I do (at 1/50th the power cost)

Basically you'd be getting one to 'keep up' while mining. The power savings alone is worth it IMO

If I have $130 worth of BC by then, who knows maybe I'll buy one with that for the fuck of it
