This is a good thing.
Cryptofags are buying out high end cards, burning through them and tossing them out while limiting the supply for people that actually want long term use out of them. That's the entire reason why GPU manufacturers are now building cards specifically built for mining. Each market gets their own line of GPUs so one doesn't have to pillage the other's.

All this shit is confusing, I just wanna build a new gaming pc

AMD is Pajeet-core that doesn't work with any video game not made by Bethesda.

You realize is for shit like this that now price for the cards is sky high? Fuck those damn bitcoiners, the biggest ruse of the decade.

It's so useless that AMD is making GPU basically for mining purposes only and it's killing PC gaming.
Stay salty.

>>386152718
The main appeal is that is ought to be impossible to manipulate. There will be a set amount of bitcoins always and forever making it an incredibly stable currency. People are definitely going to fuck it up though.

It's not that confusing.

Think of GPUs as a console upgrade to your pc. As in, don't spend more than $300 for a fucking GPU. That thing will last you well into the next 6 years.

I have a 760 and an i5... still get solid performance in games.

Cryptoshit is useless, you cant buy shit with it, it worths nothing

>>386154121
it has higher computational performance which is what mining is all about. how does a weaker card with lower computational performance suddenly out perform a more expensive, dedicated compute gpu by over 200%

>>386147106
If you dont want to pay taxes move your cryptogains to monero.

If you want to use the money just use a XAPO visa prepaid credit card. Im sure you can buy many things with a prepaid credit card.
>>
>>386152718

Most of it is a scam.

What people think is happening is some lone person buys a decent GPU and makes tons of money everyday and in no time at all he's made a profit on his initial investment.

What is actually happening is the companies who make GPUs or shops that sell are telling people the above is totally true and legit while selling GPUs are incredibly bloated prices. Then a bunch of retards buy GPUs at rip off prices, make almost no money while burning out the GPU because they had it running at 100% capacity 24/7 for an entire year.

The only way to make money with cryptocurrency is get in early (or sell GPUs). Anyone who gets into it now is basically throwing their money away.

>gold has zero uses other than bragging rights

Are you fucking kidding me right now kid?

>Gold is soft, ductile and the most malleable of metals, and because of this is usually alloyed to give improved strength and durability. Gold’s reflectivity of ultraviolet and visual light rays is low, however it has high reflectivity of infrared and red wavelengths.

>Gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity, and is unaffected by air, nitric, hydrochloric, or sulphuric acid and most other reagents. A mixture of one part nitric acid with three parts hydrochloric acid, called aqua regia, dissolves gold. It is also dissolved by solutions of azoimide. Further, it is attacked by sodium, and potassium cyanide plus oxygen.

Gold flake is used for a radiation-control coating for spacecraft

In electronic tubes, as gold-plated grid wire, to give high conductivity and suppressing secondary emissions

Gold powder and gold sheet is used for soldering semiconductors, with gold having a good ability to wet silicon at 371°C (725°F)

Sounds like gaming is saved. Hardware constraints aren't inherently bad, forces some creative variety.

And yet gold is down for the 5th year in a row, and your shitty fiat money also devaluates yearly. I bet you still believe diamonds are expensive because they are a 'hard' material and can cut through anything

Fucking nocoiners man. I could go today and convert ALL my fucking bitcoin into fiat, but why the fuck would I do that? I cant believe there are like 30 posts here of faggots believing you cant buy shit with btc. If /biz/s IQ is on the 90s, then /v/s is probably in the 60s. Fucking mongoloids

Read the fucking thread you mong. You can buy prepaid USD credit cards with bitcoin. You can buy literally everything.

>>386147106
Launder your BTC through Hong Kong or somewhere. Give yourself fees for "coding jobs".
You will pay taxes on those so the tax man leaves you alone and so you can pay rent, car, etc. The rest you can use to but shit online easily. Even if the taxman robs you of some of the profits, it still beats wagecucking in an office somewhere.
You can even keep your job if you want and set everything up on the weekends. Remote to your rig from work and monitor it from there.
For amounts under 1000 the state will not really care, so it makes nice beer money.
