The GPUs yearn for the crypto mines.

Out or curiosity does anyone have a graph showing return rates for crypto or just BTC over time? Your comment made me curious if the price has overcome the scal ng difficulty in comparison to say a year or two ago.

And this is why GPU prices keep going up with each successive generation with only a modest increase in performance—because people have demonstrated since 2020 that they will pay through the nose to get the hot new thing.

When I say people, I don't just mean a handful. Some will always pay whatever to get what they want. I mean a significant number, to the point that greedflation is now practically standard business practice.

I don't buy the bleeding-edge newest version of anything.

Why is this even relevant? So don't buy something new then, you don't need to announce it.
