If everyone stores their value, they will have an interest to run a miner, even just for heating. It will decentralize the network further. The commercial incentive for mining at scale will diminish over time.
What we need, is more simple miners, a few taps in an app to setup.
Mining is a business and I see no reason why it shouldn’t be made primarily by professionals.
In the next 50 years, yes it will be largely conducted by professionals as a commercial venture. As the incentives (block reward) diminish it will drive ASIC chips into more everyday products. Water heating, heating etc
It will be a waste of power to not use an ASIC if your primary goal is heat energy.
Would love that future, but the additional hardware needed will come at a cost, so I’m not convinced it will happen this way..
