Well, we will be back where Ethereum has been started.. I started mining eth when it was 3-4$ and nothing new with me, that's the life of the crypto if you don't prepare yourself in this situation, you will be frustrated..
If I'm not mistaken, when ETH was 3$-4$ you could make about 1 ETH per day with a single GPU (the best one available).
Right now it'll always be unprofitable to mine anything while the prices are low. Farms with free power (or stealing power) will keep mining for a small profit, keeping the diff higher than ideal for home-miners who would mine for a loss.
Today, instead of mining, it's better to buy the coins you want with the money you'd burn in electricity.
