Proof of stake is coming soon anyway, I'm not sure I'd be investing in new graphics cards now, might be tough to get return on investment in time.

It will be interesting to see if decisions like this will accelerate the value of proof of stake currencies.

The one caveat I'll add is that my understanding is the switch to PoS will be gradual, the ETH1 chain will live on and still require mining, while it is gradually absorbed into an ETH2 ecosystem. Services will have to make the jump to ETH2 and that's not all going to happen overnight. But the trick is whether the current bull run of crypto prices will hold as well. If it does, that will likely accelerate ETH2 adoption to avoid the high gas prices.

I don't think this will matter. We've gotten to a point where miners are even buying full laptops just for crypto.
