If it's anything like the crypto bubble from a couple years ago, then yeah. eBay should be flooded with used RAM and GPUs.

There was one a while ago, back when mining on GPUs was still viable. I wanna say the GTX 1000 series was still in vogue at the time.

It crashed hard and it crashed fast after a prolonged period of unsustainable growth. Is that not a bubble?

Regardless of what happened to crypto, it was certainly a crypto mining hardware bubble for anyone invested in that.

Correct. It was not a bubble. It is a volitile system that will continue to crash and rise forever.

Yep. It's not a bubble. It's just volatile. And increasing long-term
