At least that's what I told myself when I ordered a 1080ti from Newegg 30 minutes ago.
As of last night, even with the massive drop in bitcoin prices and mining only maybe 75% of the time, and paying 0.12 USD/kWh, my 1080 ti has more than paid for itself. It's probably not worth it now though. Last couple months I've only been making like 30 a month, which is probably like 15 after electricity. Most of the profits were generated before BTC prices crashed.
Very happy considering how much enjoyment I got out of the card.
