Bing as cynical as I am, the supply of video cards for PC gamers will all be hogged by coin miners.
 
So it now looks like my RTX 2080 will be on duty for much longer than expected
 
Now that Ampere is out the window Hopper is next up next year, maybe prospects will be better?
 
 

Bubble time.  It's too volatile for me.
 
XMR has a potential bright future.  We will see.  BTC doesn't have a very bright future, in my opinion.  It's former lead developer called it a failed experiment.

Paypal has been making bitcoin go up in price after buying 70%.

By the way, GPUs are useless for mining Bitcoin.  How is this claim so often made in error?

in my opinion, anything that takes away from gaming is detested
 
while i joke that you cannot eat bitcoins, video cards are not very tasty but at least they can play Halo
 
some other digital coins are mined with a GPU and are traded for bitcoin etc

True.  Nicehash is super popular.
I wish they offered other ways of payment.  Do they?  I would love to get paid by Nicehash in XMR.  XMR has a high potential of rapid growth with BTC atomic swaps in developement, as long as XMR isn't regulated at some point.
And after that growth, XMR has benefits which probably won't cause it to just bubble and burst.  We'll see.

I refuse all digital coins and immediate divest of any donated
 
I prefer cash which is what EVGA wants for a video card etc
 

GPUs are useless for mining bitcoin. ASICs are leagues faster than any GPU. 

Bitcoin is only but 1 of over 1000 digital coins out there. It seems every week to be somebody hawking a new one.
 

Gotta laugh when people hype cryptocurrency. It just means they're wanting people to buy in so they can cash out asap with big profits at your expense.
