I can't help but think the shortage was helped along in no small part due to nVidia selling a ton of GPUs directly to miners, though.Lets not forget there was already a GPU shortage before crypto become profitable again. It's fun to blame the miners but there is more too it than that.
I'm quite happy of that news. My crypto holdings made me a much happier man this morning.
Man I was all for Musk and his planet loving initiative. But the dude is seriously an asshole. He has totally changed from his early days. The dude used to be more humble but the more money he got the more he changed. Even trying to pump dogecoin all over his Twitter.
I pretty much hate the dude now. He is totally the opposite of what I remember before he got so popular. I guess money does change lot of people.
Now don’t mistake me. I have crypto and my portfolios is 6x the amount since last year. But doesn’t change the fact musk is all about himself these days.
Me too but doesn’t change the fact that musk is one big asshole. The dude uses his platform to pump shit coin name dogecoin lol. He probably couldn’t talk about bitcoin so he doesn’t get in trouble with sec. I can pretty much guarantee that he will because he just loves using his platform for pump and dump now. I don’t even recognize the new Elon lol.
And when this "Dutch tulip craze" over BTC inevitably happens, then Tesla will be hurt badly. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.Tesla announced in an SEC filing Monday that it has bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin.
2020 will never end.
I will not be able to get rid of this 2080 for octane render till 2022 it seems.

lol.Well, I went to Micro center to get a anti static mat and some gloves as i start my Dan A4 build to day.
Seem to have some tension here, gpus like you said were normal priced before crypto price climbed it seem no, it was hard to get a 3080 on launch yes, but was there a general GPU shortage before crypto did ramp up, was it really hard and expensive to buy old gpus ?I really think all this crypto hate is unfounded...
I don't believe it's still worth mining it with GPUs. Even the shortage existed back when crypto was at a MUCH lower price.
Back in July before the 3xxx cards were released GPUs were dirt cheap, I know cause I tried selling my 1080 ti in advance and get the 3080. 2 months on eBay and no bites - until the 3080 was nowhere to be found and suddenly interest in my ebay listing grew tremendously. I ended up jacking up the price and it still sold leaving me without a GPU for 2 months...
Yes, as a previous miner from litecoin/ethereum days in 2013/2017 I am very happy....

I am dead serious I am going to take my 3900x and my 2080 to the rigs and boats i work on when i go offshore from now on and have that bitch render 24/7lol.
Wow, why so much hate for Doge?
such wow. (I lost 46k doge when a US based exchange was "hacked") :'(
Just one of the many issues with crypto currency.such wow. (I lost 46k doge when a US based exchange was "hacked") :'(
He's talked a lot about Bitcoin on Twitter. He even set #bitcoin in his Twitter bio a few weeks ago. Either way, who cares if he's pumping DOGE (which he's clearly stated, publicly, that it's intended to be a big joke)? Like I don't understand what's making you so upset here.
I bought like $10 worth of Doge today just because. Why not? It's super cheap and if it fails, who cares. At least I won't have massive regret, like not buying BTC for $0.25 way back when, lol.
Yep, had that been actually money and held in a bank, it would have been insured. Wah wah wah....Just one of the many issues with crypto currency.
People have had many stations to jump on the crypto train, but instead they choose to hold their fed notes and whine about inflation.When BTC is $300k per coin and still here 10 years from now, the same people will be crying "Dutch tulips."
Elon Musk is an asshat, I'll give you that, but we're like 12 years from the creation of BTC and it's more valuable than ever.
Still sitting on 7 coins I paid a $1.35 each for back in 2011 from a friend on a usb drive in cold storage. Sold one as the down payment on my house last year.
Is there many people that hold a vast proportion of their asset in fed notes versus inflation resilient asset like house equity, stocks, etc.... ?People have had many stations to jump on the crypto train, but instead they choose to hold their fed notes and whine about inflation.
clutches onto his 3070
I remember watching it back in 2010 when it was below a $1 wondering if I should use my 295 to mine it for fun. I am actually happy I did not buy or mine any at that level as I am sure I would have sold it at 10x profit or above $10. That would have hurt a lot more than not owning any.
To be fair there are legit reasons to "hate" DOGE...if you research it there are not many factors tied to it having legitimate value. Whereas others do have benefits (limited production, robust blockchain, etc.). I'm all for everyone having fun and doing whatever...but I think a lot of crypto fans are worried newcomers with start with DOGE and get burned and then think the whole thing is a scam. That is very much not the case for crypto, but yeah - you still have to do your research.Wow, why so much hate for Doge?

I actually fired up Alan Wake for the first time last night. Been in my library for a decade it seems.Whatever. I started going through my steam backlog, playing some classics with the limited gaming time I have these days. My 1070Ti will be perfectly fine for a while yet. I’ll do the same thing I did last crypto boom; just wait it out.
I mined with either my 6950 or 7970 (might have even been my 5850) back in the day for 3-4 hours to see what it was all about and generated 0.14 of a bitcoin.I remember watching it back in 2010 when it was below a $1 wondering if I should use my 295 to mine it for fun.
