So true. Once the casino mentality gets spooked, the exit will be epic. Heard it here first. (media.patriots.win)

GPUs are used primarily to “mine” for bitcoin.

Pisses me off because it’s driven prices of GPU’s through the roof, even ones that are more than 10 years old.

Wrong.

GPUs are used primarily to mine eth and other altcoins. Doge and Bitcoin are mined with ASICs.

While mining adds to the demand for GPUs, the primary reason GPU prices are through the roof is the global chip shortage affecting many industries and products including CPUs, gaming consoles, and even automotive.
