After it climbed a few hundred percent in value some shitposters on /biz/ tried to continue the correction by claiming the russian kid died. This is a perfectly natural correction in the price.

I just went to best buy, and frys electronics yesterday. It was the first time I've been to a physical electronics store in a few months.

Well, for one thing, we can actually kill that son of a bitch.

This drop was a proof of concept that killing him off would indeed turn things back to normal.

Fucking cucks going out and buying 10 gfx cards at the same time need to die aswell.

I don't want to profit.I want to fuck over the 5000 morons around the globe who think they got rich and basically went out and bought every new-generation gfx card in production.

I lack the programming skills as of now, but I am thinking a distributed worm, much like what happened with WannaCry, that goes and launches background applications that memory-leak the GPU.
