    I don’t know, people said the same about videocard prices during the crypto boom, the 2020 shortage and every time prices just went up. I doubt prices will go down

      Prices going up has to match the demand for the supply. Price goes too high, then there is enough incentive for competitors to come into the market and increase supply. In the long run, it hurts the hoarders.

          In the case of competitors popping up, painfully long time. But acutely things are looking good. There is no money backing up these bullshit contracts.

            It’s been what, 10 years? Since GPU prices first sharply rose due to Bitcoin miners. Competitors haven’t popped up so far. I don’t believe this will change.
