Your definitions of 'real needs' and 'illicit needs' don't line up with mine.

It's one use case versus another, neither being illegal, and neither, arguably, being specifically positive for humanity.

I'd like to buy a GPU for both gaming and mining, but I'm also unwilling to pay the exorbitant cost, but I understand the reason, and that's life. I also want Telsas to be cheaper in Australia, but they're also prohibitively expensive for the likes of me.

I'm used to non-immediate gratification.
