I'm fine with miners. That means there will be more used but somewhat recent cards available, so people don't have to buy 780ti or 980ti because they don't have the money 1-2 years later.

don't worry, I'm sure the crash will occur before they make back there investment in hardware, same reason no one uses a GPU for bitcoin mining anymore, it's just not economical enough.

Nah, they just cost more for the same number of TFLOPs, so they are not worth it for miners ;)

4 year old cards (780ti) are also half burnt if you count in their age.
