Mining is the engine room of everything that relates to crypto at this time and its better not to wish for it to end because of the effect that its going to cause for everyone. Even if release of additional currency is on hold, it is still needed for transactions to get confirmed which is the soul of every crypto coin out there without which the end is just around the corner. What I expect is that gradually, the mining process should be decentralised to a large extent that one person or group of people stopping their own process won't have an adverse effect on the entire market like we currently have it.
