I don't mine and don't benefit in any way from the current state of the market. I see blockchain as a useful and will be an important technology going forward; so it kinda bugs me when people poo-poo it, knowing nothing about it other than it "inconveniences" them.
Fair enough!
Blockchain is fine,its the excuse making some here are making for the mad pricing of GPUs,ie,"deal with it" which comes across as very smug. If people had £100s of lying around to spend on the rigs upfront people wouldn't be buying mainstream parts. These mainstream parts have been hit just as hard by all the scalpers - even parts which are not 7NM. Secondhand pricing is utter madness.
