I'm not trying to poke holes in the analysis, and as I said I'm not blaming the author for what they did. I'm just repeating what the author said: > We can see a correlation between GPU prices and the value of crypto currencies, but correlation does not mean causation. A causation is plausible in this case. And then they go on to repeat a very reasonable argument, which I happen to believe to be true, but the kind of argument that everyone was already making before looking at any data. The fact that the correlations do not hold as much for CPUs is good, but still not enough to stablish causation. As you said, there might be some confounding factors that affect crypto and GPUs but not CPUs.
