Couple thoughts on the issue of mining and ASIC miners:

1) It's a fitting end to the story of "miners taking GPUs away from everyone else", that now these cards are basically useless and miners got burned. Sweet, sweet justice.

2) As Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin tweeted, the weeks after the launch of these ASICs is a dangerous period because someone could very well buy most of the ASICs and perform a 51% attack.

3) Inb4 Nvidia starts seeing these ASICs as competition and not only designs their own ASIC, but also starts using anti-competitive tactics against Antminer, the creator of the current ASIC miners for BTC, LTC and now ETH.
