It will get even more interesting sooner or later bitmain will announce a compute chip, which means whatever algo is minable on GPUs will be minable on this chip also, thats how the evolution will go , this will be the end of forking to change the algo it will be useless. This will drive the crypto market to make big shifts a lot of coins will be forced to make an implantation of POS solution or just keep the existing POW algo.
POS is death there is no economical reason for it to work .
FPGA will hurt gpu mining this year.
Now as for this gear there will be some forks and one or two of the equihash coins may thrive monero comes to mind it is doing well as c7.
To me this makes LTC look better as it has a lot of asics already. It may return to a much higher spot on the food chain of mining.
