IDk if FPGAs are stoppable, asic resistance seems kinda pointless atm IMO
Then we shall develop the FPGA resistant PoW.

As long as the equipment is as affordable as GPUs why? If btc asics were 300-500 my fears and worries about them would vanish. Due to the big boy (monero) forking away, cryptonight asics are as affordable as GPUs.
I develop and I have NO mining equipment, I have a x230 thinkpad, anyone with 4 GPUs is just as far from me as the best asic. It's just arbitrarily drawing a line in the sand saying "people with X hash can't mine my coin". IMO it's better to offer more value to people with lower hashes than outlaw people with higher hashes.
As long as asics are in the hands of end users, and not a monopoly like bitmain, they are a positive force, not a negative one.
People with insane mining rigs destroy the Satoshi vision of one CPU one vote, which in it's original form is STILL heavily slanted toward the wealthy. Crypto has to be for everyone for it to be more than an investment.
