mining is the fastest thing to get coins and eventually coins become a lot in the market maybe this causes the price of coins to be like today but as long as profitable I think mining will continue and do not know until when
Individual mining will never stop, people like idea of decentralized systems and mining is the perfect way to maintain that kind of system alive. I have same opinion, mining will never stop, add to that staking, very popular in crypto community too. Staking or mining, if you don`t have money for expensive equipment you can buy some coins and stake them, good way to maintain decentralized system and earn something while you doing that.
