I think a big reason crypto exploded is tied into prices of graphics cards. Anyone else think so? Miners use them to generate coins, and there was a huge shortage of them. The cards released in 2020 were mining monsters, it makes sense that miners scooped them up. The limited supply left for consumers drove up prices 200-300% above MSRP. The graphics card price inflation nearly mirrored crypto.

Now the cards are coming back down in price because in part, China shutting down miners. Now there's a huge used card supply, and sales have hit a dead end. This drives the price of cards down, along with the fact next Gen cards are half a year away. Prices have to come back down to earth and lo and behold crypto follows right along.

Also curious that Blackrock and Vanguard have controlling shares in both AMD and Nvidia. Shows that they heavily manipulate the markets.

You're completely wrong and don't understand the difference between fiat and money. People want tangible goods. Imaginary accounting numbers are worthless.

Implying your bank account isn't imaginary accounting numbers backed by fractional reserves from a non-government entity that can be stolen at any moment.

You sure about that? I mean there are these markets where people are trading all kinds of currencies for each other. I think they call it forex. It's really weird man. Also, they trade these currencies for cryptocurrencies and goods and services.

I must be imagining that.

Yes, I'm sure about this.

I'll give you an imaginary number for your food.

Here's a tangible good which has intrinsic value for your food. Which you can in turn trade and barter in nearly any situation.

Vast differences. Money has value because it is backed by goods of equal value. Fiat is worthless and only have value because people agree it does and has faith it will remain so tomorrow.
