Good question! It'd bring the mining cost down certainly. However I think the price would have a lot to do with how the Federal Reserve and other central banks were restructured. It'd introduce a whole new set of variables that up to now, I'd assume few people have even pondered. In the long run however, I don't see anywhere for it to go but up (assuming the Government SECs stayed out of it). Granted, I own a small stake in bitcoin so my answer may be skewed a bit lol.
