And people who drive cars tend to experience sudden deaths. It's not the driving that kills people, it's the car crashes that do. What I'm trying to say is that this is just correlation not causation. It's not Bitcoin going up that rises your GPU prices, it's Ethereum and the fact that it uses GPU-based mining. If no cryptocurrency used GPU-mining, then your GPU prices wouldn't rise, even if the the prices of cryptocurrencies went up by 100x . Do you see how correlation is different than causation?
