32gb ddr4 sticks will run out next...specially now that frustrated gpu miners cannot find those damn gpus in stores 
To be honest, I'm surprised that there is no hype about Filecoin yet, and I might not have been particularly interested in mining this coin if Protocol Labs hadn't been behind the development of the IPFS technology. Although the entry threshold is quite high, but by hearsay, the return on equipment is within 70 days, which is quite tempting. I heard about the $15,000 threshold + it is not known how many coins to buy (didn’t go into details yet).It is not just the equipment but also the internet connection requirements are higher than the typical POW mining.
I think they are going for dapps too, i already speculated in the past that filecoin can be the next best thing. Forces miners to have 1pc = 1miner unlike the current gpu setup 1pc = up to x amount of gpu miner (pcie sockets)
1pc = 1 miner, how are you gonna asic that? --->economy
knowing that filecoin mining uses gpu, rams, ssd and cpu means it can do more stuff than ethereum.
in computer world analogy kind of way...
bitcoin = logic gates = like basic calculator
ethereum = microprocessor = like the 8080 for automation
filecoin = modern desktop = what can the modern desktop do? it can be the "world computer" like what vitalik buterin first envision for ethereum.
yes you need to invest miner & coins to mine 10 TB to get block reward and ROI otherwise don't bother. Specs are high
