Price does not follow hashrate, hashrate follows price. When prices goes up generally hashrate goes up. When hashrate goes up, it doesn’t mean price will go up.

If it happened before then it’s a coincidence and nothing more. I guess there is that theory that the more hashrate a coin has the more secure it is hence it should have a higher price but it’s not guaranteed.

Right now POS will be earliest maybe Q3 if they don’t have any more delays .
