Hopefully it will fall on its face rather than spreading BTC-misery to SSD and HDD prices.

I really hope that BTC and all similar will finally find some real use or collapse (beyond gambling and scams), current situation is ridiculous.

I guess you could hope that it fails, or you could hope that it succeeds as described in the whitepaper.

The long term goal is getting Chia so decentralized that buying HDDs to plot chia will be unprofitable

> buying HDDs to plot chia will be unprofitable

hopefully it will not be caused by Chia being successful and causing increase in HDD prices
