News Cryptocurrency Market Cap Passes $2 Trillion as Ethereum Prices Reach All-Time High

And, like it or not GPU use for cryptocurrency farming is still going to be a thing for another couple years as far as hardware viability.
 
The nail that sticks up, gets hammered down. As cryptocurrency gets more popular and profitable, entrenched governments will see it as a threat to their power and monopoly on money. I expect that governments will ban cryptocurrency using the pretense of a war against drug lords, human trafficking, tax cheaters, energy waste, etc.. The power to the people offered by cryptocurrency sounds nice, but ask Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump how that works out in the long run. Money can be made (literally) until the hammer comes down, but it always pays to keep an eye on the authorities (remember the stock sales by congressmen before the pandemic announcement?). In the meantime, I'll continue postponing my GPU upgrade.
