^It is not just the Crypto mining. Chip shortage the another very important issue here. If Nvidia is able to manufacture and push their FE cards to market like normal, then price of rest of the cards will fall immediately. Demand is too high against the supply, scalping is the just the situation created because of this. As per online articles, it will be around 2024 for shortage issue to resolve. As for mining, I have no idea where is this going. It goes down but again it comes up. A Crash can only happen when there is long awaited new etherium launches.
The real issue according to me is, these companies now know regardless of the cost of their product, they will be able to earn profit. Now AMD is turning out be as much evil as Nvidia with their recent launches.
