The difference is that under normal circumstances, a single GPU typically satisfies one person. With crypto mining right now, the more GPUs you buy, the more money you make. The demand is effectively infinite. The two dynamics couldn't

It's peculiar you chose to focus on gaming. What of professional uses cases? Science, art, engineering. Even so, GPU demand from gaming is satisfiable. Mining demand only ceases once the price of the underlying instruments fall suffici

You're equating shortage driven by organic demand to that of shortage from cryptomining. The fundamental difference is that with organic demand, people typically just want one card. With crypto, the incentive is to get your hands on as

In the past I've theorized people do this for HN comments to track edits. As a serial edit-until-finally-satisfied poster, I suppose it's nice to know that those edits are taking up terabytes of data in such systems. :)
