Crypto miners are hoarding early shipments of RTX 3080s

I don't even get why they still do it.  I thought mining was mostly just barely break-even these days.

Well... and these cards can double/triple profits...

You're welcome.

Apparently the 5700XT and Radeon VII are still better when you consider price and power consumption.

Doesn't matter much imo those people buy up the cards simply because they can (me me me effect) and are also speculating on high resale values probably.

They’re not for sale yet though.  Hard to speculate if they have to be stolen to start with.  I saw a thing on UFD tech that claimed a lot of the mining claims were based on photographs that were taken from other places and had nothing to do with actual mining. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
