I think the age of ASICs will be gone soon.
I know it sounds dramatic and some may call me crazy but hear me out.
There are technologies that actually have developed a type of mining that valuable intrincially.
ASICs do what they do and I appreciate that they provide security to the network and validate transactions.
However, mining for coins suchs as Juan Benet's filecoin or decenternet's spice actually provides a utility service on top of doing everything BTC is doing.
Economic fundamentals always catches up with the hype and eventually, people will pay more for mining that provides more value.
We already know that a huge amount of people are waiting for filecoin mining. They know it is profitable.
We already know that a huge amount of South Koreans waiting for spice mining and they know it will be profitable and even more approcheable than ASICs.
I mean if you look at the people's greed waiting for these 2 in their community forums, you will know this ain't no joke.
What do you say guys
