People have seen BTC go from $37 to $11,000. Ethereum has gone from $45 to $450 in six months. Dash has gone from $6 to $700. They're just throwing $1,000 into anything else that has some potential and are hoping that one out of 10 of them will go up 100x.
I read mining Dash is not profitable anymore due to sky rocketed difficulty. Read that people bought D3 miners and they are almost worthless now.
