 bitcoin doesn't fix anything you stupid bitch. 
 Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you are gay 
 my new conspiracy theory is that bitcoin was promoted to fund Nvidia so Nvidia chips can later be used for AI

@Mike Dilger  
 Lol. You know that nvidia chips are useless for bitcoin mining, right? 
 they limit the hash rate but people still use them. 
 Not for bitcoin mining 
 oh you mean they were mining Ethereum etc ?

yeah possibly ... 
 just pretend by "bitcoin" i meant "crypto"

LOL 
 now that i think of it - perhaps it wasn't a BTC crash that brought the prices down for my GPU - perhaps it was Ethereum Merge ...

well, one or the other, or both ...

i do remember it was related to mining but don't recall the details ... 
 the point is Mining is a colossal waste of both energy and computing power yet the elites did NOTHING to stop it - why ?

because perhaps they wanted to develop electrical grid and semiconductor foundry capacity that could later be used for AI 

perhaps Electric Vehicle revolution was also orchestrated to strengthen the electrical grid for that same purpose 

@Mike Dilger @Prince Aleph  
 i'm not a bitcoiner but i do have RTX4080 and i was able to get one when BTC crashed hard ... before that it was unaffordable 

so clearly people were using them to mine
