once sia releases their custom ASIC miners next year, expect the price to climb. They are targeting the datacenter, and having an ASIC miner will allow large tech companies using sia to feel safer against potential attacks on the network by nefarious interests, especially considering private corporate data is very valuable.

For those of us dual mining sia, it's also a ticking clock running down to where the coin will either go through a very profitable phase, or just overnight becomes pointless for GPU mining.
