Nobody mines bitcoin with GPUs. You literally can't. And since you can't mine Ethereum anymore either, there is little use for GPU mining. Even if the price of crypto goes up, we're not going to have another situation like during COVID.

As above GPU mining is of limited use when compared to dedicated silicon, and I doubt we will see anything artificially constrained to work on GPUs take off. Next up will probably be personal instances of AI (trained on your in house private data, and to your rules* rather than whatever some oxygen thief in California wants so as not to offend anybody) and machine learning (training of the presently popular style on large datasets right now needs a respectable cluster and that is not likely to change in the next 10 years maybe, even more so if more data gets fed in to chase better and better results, however it seems we are seeing renewed interest in GANs which are more personal/workstation level but have massive perks for a lot of more specific tasks -- do a search for GAN inpainting) at least given as an excuse for the artificial scarcity.

*be it during the training or via human reinforced stuff.
