I don't know what will happen, but over the long run it may convince other Universities to do the same, and thus the price will eventually rise as the demand by "higher-ups" increases for experiments such as these. I honestly is anyone's guess, but I think that it may only increase in the long run.
I agree it will rise. I did not want to be making predictions at the start of the thread. Plus, the reward halving again in 2016 will surely make it rise even more.
