New GPUs will be competing with ASICs and FPGAs.
You really think so? I'm interested to see the new AMD 7000 series cards as well, but seeing that AMD didn't really improve mining performance from the 5000 to 6000 series, I'm wondering if the 7000's will actually improve mining. Anyone seen anything that leads them to believe it might?
I think some guys will Buy some Big Server Farms only to get Bitcoins.
I also think that some big companys will start Mining.

I guess this isn't unexpected. If you look at something comparable like the Gold Rush in the US, at first it was great for even little guys, but eventually it got to the point that the individual prospector couldn't compete and big conglomerates took over. I wonder if in the long run this hurts BTC though, because a lot of the interest/charm it had was the fact that _anyone_ could do it and had a chance to make some money. At some point you'll need to put in some serious coin to even have a shot of getting any coins and I wonder if that'll put a damper on things.
