You've spent quite a lot of time in this thread making wrong assumptions and replying to some miners, so clearly that isn't even true.
Perhaps you could look up that phrase in a dictionary.
Loving the assembling mining/scalping defence force, btw.

I think it will offer a lot of tiers for buyers now before previous gen cards offer the same performance. So a 2070 would be similar enough to a 6600 and at this point people with 10 or 20 series cards wont really see benefit to switching to the low end gen 3 cards.

Don't lump us in together, I bought my mining GPU's 5 years ago so I've had zero effect on you not being able to get hold of a card you probably weren't going to buy anyway

I would say he's quite contradictory - oops did he break any of his principles?
You will likely find there are more miners out there (well in this forum) than you realise. Having strong GPU's means the possibility is there, when your not using it, makes no sense to just leave you machine idling unless you power it down.
Once gamers had the tools to do the job it opens the door to another world if you are open minded and not a naysayer. When people educate themselves into the topic and dabble, at this point they become a miner.

What principles am I breaking by posting on a forum? If you can answer that with any kind of logic, I'll stop posting. Simples.
dont forget the majority of gamers use either a 1060 or a 1050 so it would be well worth them upgrading

Yeah that is true, depends on the inflated prices though. Your typical 1050/60 buyer only spent £150-250 on it that time, so far it looks like the 6600 could be £350+ so quite a margin up. Maybe they can use AMD's FSR for a bit
Do you deny the existence of people who know what mining is about, and oppose it?
Are you saying the only people who oppose mining simply don't understand it (enough)?

No I asked you a question. Was expecting you to just answer it, tbh.

Its trash or quasi-trolling you blurt out like this - where your always wearing your anti-crypto stance:
The trouble is, for BTC to hit $100k, $300k or any of those "moon" figures, you need a lot more people to start buying it, at a time when it seems the backlash against crypto is just starting.
Think I read somewhere that to hit those kinds of figures, you'd need 1/3 people in the entire damn world to start buying Bitcoin. Or something. It's late, I can't remember
If you claim to be as well-read on the topic, you would be able to compose some substantial debate to your posts. All I see is a bitter person that likes to complain a lot. How much quality reading do you do or is it The Sun only?
The point was simple: for BTC to always rise in price you need ever greater adoption. You need ever more buyers who not only want to buy, but want to buy at the new (higher) prices.
And since there is no intrinsic value in a Bitcoin, the only reason people want to buy it is in the expectation that the price will keep rising. They need to believe that after they buy the price will keep rising, and that someone else will come along and buy at the new, higher price.
This is pretty basic stuff.
It's in your interests as crypto "hodlers" to hype the future of crypto, and to FOMO as many people as possible into buying your crypto (or someone else's) for more than they paid for it. You want people to think this is a never-ending journey where BTC will keep "mooning" until you reach (as some crypto advocates suggest) $1 million for a single BTC.
Whether or not you believe this will happen, it's in your interests for others to believe it (or at least believe it can hit $100k or $300k), so that there will be new buyers. As many new buyers as possible, to drive up the price of the coins already in circulation.
The whole thing really is a pyramid scheme. The coins themselves have no worth. No utility. No function. BTC is awful at any kind of job. Seriously, BTC sucks at everything, and it only exists for people to speculate on it.
The whole thing is a confidence game. You want people to be bullish about BTC so the price can rise, and then you hope (or most people hope) to get out somewhere near the top/near the ATH. Someone earlier suggested they'd get out at $300k.
But you need many more people to get crypto fever and FOMO in to raise the prices to those targets. Or put another way, if everybody only "bought the dip", the price would keep trending downwards. What you need, and what you want, is for people to FOMO in to buying at the high prices, not the low prices.
And those people are the ones who will eat the dip, like the people who bought in at $60k recently.
Call if FUD if you want. It's obviously in your own self interest to promote crypto as a crypto holder. Not for the technology or the worth or utility of Bitcoin. But because you want the price to go up.

I sold my 3080 for the price of a 3090FE. If I sold it 2 weeks earlier I could have got £1600, a go month 2k.
Still a good time to sell, if you bought a GPU for a relatively low price.

Except it enables me to transfer money to and from another country in a fraction of the time and cost.
Small minded people don't see the utility but that doesn't mean it isn't there.
Who cares? You have all forced most of us out of the PC market for years to come with your purchase of double msrp cards meaning the msrp will be atlest 70% higher than it should be and you will all fall for the "smaller nodes cost more money" **** they will no doubt come out with.
