“I read something interesting earlier today about shares in graphics processor companies being inflated due to cryptocurrency mining and that the deflation of Bitcoin combined with increased rewards on mining has caused a decrease in demand.”

GPUs aren’t used to mine Bitcoin, but instead some of the other cryptocurrencies. There was a major surge in interest a few months ago, and I think that’s leveled off at this point. I doubt it will really slow down for a little while at least...

Oh okay. That gives some perspective to what I read. I almost certainly misread it. I’m a novice when it comes to cryptocurrencies.
