Most capitalists see crypto and the GPU market as just capitalism working as intended. There's nothing stopping gpu manufacturers from producing more product.

Given that crypto is already 10 years old and has other things depending on it you sound like an old man yelling at some kids on their lawn.

What “other things” depend on cryptocurrencies which are about something other than selling cryptocurrencies? NFTs are the most common example but their valuations depend on people using the art as a loss leader to sell tokens.

Needlessly destroying the planet and making it more expensive for me to drown the inevitability of impending doom by playing AAA video games.

Well ain't that just swell.
