I am not surprise that crypto currency mining will pick up due to (1) low energy prices, and (2) high value of crypto currency. But if there is anything we learned from the last crypto currency fueled GPU price hikes, anything that goes up will come down. Even if the graphic card makers are now more prepared and thus, unlikely to go overboard with supply like they did the last time, they may not be able to avoid the fact that people will start dumping mining cards cheap, which will affect their sales, and will require a price cut to make buying a new card more attractive.
I keep hearing about energy been cheap.
Here in the UK I live alone and my electric bill is £90-£110 a month for a single person, its a 1/4 of my rent.
In 2010 I was paying around 9p per unit of electric, now I pay 15p, my standing fee for electric has tripled in the same 10 year period.
