It's $1,350. That's a lot but I guess a hardcore gamer would like to pay that. OK.

So like, the only way to buy it is wait for someone to put it on eBay and sell it for $2,000. So now you have to pay $2,000.

This is better for the environment. Remove the bitcoin mining element and just directly speculate with the hardware.

Haha that reminds me of when I was a web dev and a clueless client kept complaining we did a poo poo job on the animations on their website; they claimed they were super choppy.

Eventually it became clear their office was using Citrix.
