It sucks that people can't purchase GPUs to fill real needs because an illicit need for has been found for them instead. We now have an actual value lost in our civilization so that people can be separated from their money in an investing facade. I wish the pump and dumpers would move back into penny stocks and not waste electricity and GPUs.
Your definitions of 'real needs' and 'illicit needs' don't line up with mine.
It's one use case versus another, neither being illegal, and neither, arguably, being specifically positive for humanity.
I'd like to buy a GPU for both gaming and mining, but I'm also unwilling to pay the exorbitant cost, but I understand the reason, and that's life. I also want Telsas to be cheaper in Australia, but they're also prohibitively expensive for the likes of me.
If those GPUs were on shelves, they’d predominantly be sold to people to play AAA title video games instead. It does suck that I have to play my games at a lower frame rate, but my plight of retail inconvenience is hardly a grievous moral injustice.
