One can only hope.


One can also only hope that Nvidia and AMD haven't become too greedy because of mining and that they don't seriously expect us to pay $400 for a 1080p card.

If most mining currently done is for Ethereum, because it's most profitable, then there's a good chance that it moving to PoS will help. Having that mining power move to other currencies will up their difficulty and make them less profitable.


At least, I hope so.
