It's already happening, the collapse. Which "biggest central bank in the world" is paving the way? Cites would be terrific over giddy enthusiasm.

Rich and powerful people like cryptocurrency and ways they can use it to become more rich and powerful. There is so much corruption and lies involved with cryptocurrency that it becomes hard to see its redeeming traits or utility. So far, after more than a decade, it still has no utility. And the more utility that is created, the more its supposed redeeming values disappear.

You could say the same thing about every market structure in the world. Just replace "cryptocurrency" with "stocks" or "bonds" in your opinion statement and you will see what I mean.

Yeah, sure. But then what makes crypto better?
At least stocks and bonds have regulations about practices and transparency. Crypto has people openly pumping and dumping for profit and committing what would otherwise be considered fraud.

HeavyHemiIt's a scam with nothing to it but a waste of the equivalent of the electrical consumption of the continent of Africa behind it.

No you cannot. Stocks and bonds are backed by tangible assets. Crypto is backed by nothing. It's a scam with nothing to it but a waste of the equivalent of the electrical consumption of the continent of Africa behind it.

So a stock that trades at 40x PE with zero revenue/assets and a negative balance sheet is better than Bitcoin, an asset with no counterparty risk?

Pump and dump you say? That's exactly what happens in stocks, OTC and pink sheet markets, and even in some of the biggest markets in the world such as currency (which btw FX markets are the shadiest in the world). Pump and dump occurs because of the share float. The transaction structure is totally different between crypto and stocks however because of blockchain. I'm not saying there isn't fraud, but fraud does occur occasionally in every market. Also, crypto transactions are reported the same way options and futures are reporting. It's called the 60/40 rule, and if you receive and audit from the IRS or a law enforcement agency, you will be required to reveal your wallets just the same as having to reveal a bank account. Anyone breaking the laws will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Nothing has changed, just the regulatory clarity has to catch up and enforcement has been lackluster, although there are certain government agencies promptly pursuing fraud in the crypto markets. If you want there to be less fraud go and become an agent of the government and enforce the laws that are written.

I doubt there will be a need for a 40 series queue.  People don't have the money they did like last Summer when the Gov't was just peeling off checks for everybody.  That money is long gone for most and now we must pay the piper with the cost of living going up across the board.  GPU's are a luxury item now.

Hold up! Hold up! Let's get back to the Jacob leaving comment. Jacob didn't appear at the beginning of the 30 series. He's been there for "a hot minute" and is filling what I imagine is a more permanent role outside of riding demand waves. I hope he plans on staying... with Peter too... since it is enjoyable watching the two of them deal with Twitch while being a couple of great brand ambassadors. But, money talks in the end I guess...

 
As far as community managers/marketing folk go in the video game industry, I've not seen one better.  EVGA_JacobF could write his own ticket in many respects. Kind of surprised Logitech or another hardware peripheral company hasn't backed up the armored truck to his front door....

I'm not.  Most companies don't seem to care much about customer service.  EVGA is the best right now, which is why I've started to buy from them.

A lot of companies are starting to realize the importance of social media managers since social media is very important and started to hire costumer engagement managers to make sure customers are happy while in physical stores. 

I actually stand outside the building as the sign spinner guy when I am not taking calls.
