The word 'mine mining' does not need to be explained too much. Now the focus is on the 'mine disaster'!
This ore is difficult to deal with. The mine disaster we are talking about today is a phenomenon of collective collapse of the 'mining' caused by the collapse of virtual currency prices. The first mine disaster is not far away from us. It was the first in 2002.... ...Oh no, it was the joint operation of bitcoin prices by several foreign exchanges in 2014. The largest trading platform, Mt.Gox, then ran and made Bitcoin lose its weight overnight. It quickly dropped from the high point of US$1000 to US$500. Less than overnight, people who enter the market in mid-term and who meet at the high spot should jump to the building and write the suicide note.
This is not yet finished. After experiencing the crisis, bitcoin continued to fall to 200 US dollars in about a year in 2015. Until the beginning of 2017, the price of virtual currency has always been very stable. Bitcoin transfers are very simple. With the address of the other party’s wallet, there is no need for any verification, and the real exchange of virtual currency for money requires a trading agency. At that time, all countries’ governments maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards virtual currencies and saw what the status of development would be.
So at that time, Mt. Gox had only the “Maximum Trading Platform” as an endorsement of credit. It could be said that his credit was not worth anything other than the word “Maximum,” and the run of Mt.Gox at that time intensified people’s interest in Bitcoin. With the reduction of trust, the speculators quickly sold off and left the mine.
Bitcoin has soared, but also a bunch of children?
With the occurrence of major international events such as Brexit, Trump was elected as president. Because of the various relationships that lead to a huge amount of capital, there is nowhere to go, and then once again it is a virtual one that is almost historically low. Currency. Bitcoin's application and trading system is relatively mature, so capital has chosen it.
Ethereum then crashed into the virtual currency market with a completely new concept. At the time, the white paper said that it was a good idea to make various contributions to the Internet. Goose! Today, we still don’t see technology applications based on Ethereum, except Outside the Ether. Now the market value of Ether is second only to Bitcoin, or the second largest bubble in the virtual currency market.
Due to the conflict between the interests of miners and the interests of Bitcoin developers, Bitcoin appeared to fork ahead. It seemed to give some misguided people some opportunities. Formally, because Bitcoin's source code is open, many of them have been carrying out beautiful moments. White paper man enters virtual currency market.
To begin with, even the author can easily create a virtual currency, such as MLGB (Major money), as long as you can write a flicker of white paper depicting the great prospects and future of this technology, then enter the ICO, and then specify The leeks exchanged for more valuable virtual currency. Developers then cash valuable coins. This is the formula for making money.
New currency can be opened at the start of a certain amount of money to enter the market. For example, I set a total amount of 1,000,000 for the Malignanco, and put 2000W of cash in the market. The remaining 8000W will require miners to dig. What dug? Of course it is a video card.
Bitcoin fell and there is altcoin
The realization that it is more profitable to dig acolytes than to dig Bitcoin or Ethereum with a video card. Even if the mainstream currency collapses, where is the less than a penny and a fortune?
Apart from Bitcoin Litecoin, there are not many currencies that have dedicated chip mining machines. Still need graphics cards to mine, so video card mining is still the main force. In addition, many people and the media are alarmist and alarmist every day, saying that Bitcoin fell and thought The graphics card will be reduced in price. This is a pure dream.
You know, a GTX 1080 Ti can only make a penny for digging one month's worth of Bitcoin! The real use of graphics card is the use of non-professional chip mining machine currency, and bitcoin plunge will cause the graphics card price reduction is actually a source The rise or fall in the price of Bitcoin can be seen as a benchmark for other currencies. Industry-related trends will be reflected in the rise and fall of Bitcoin. Other currencies are based on the concept of bitcoin, so just looking at Bitcoin is enough to know The whole mining situation, but we must not be misled by those who believe that video card is used to dig bitcoin. This is a very unprofessional and irresponsible.
Inflation, exchange rate and raw material price increase
Inflation is happening every year, plus exchange rate changes and other reasons, the board of directors will certainly not watch money become more worthless and indifferent, in order to keep the money in hand more valuable, and in order to make the company look With growth in performance, the graphics card's price is bound to increase.
The current price increase of graphics cards is actually very stable. The so-called warm boiled frogs. But if you look back at the graphics card of the same grade several years ago, you know, for example, the price of the GTX 650 that I originally purchased was 750 yuan, and now the GTX 1050 is normal. The price was 999 yuan. After the boom in mining prices, the big brothers who had almost monopoly tasted the sweetness. If the graphics card always maintains this price for retail sales, will the future be a beautiful word?
Ever since, it seems reasonable to justify the following reasons: PCB price increases; R&D costs in graphics process architecture improvements; Shortage in the flash memory market, and various upstream vendor price increases have become excellent reasons. Assuming a graphics card The comprehensive cost has risen by 100 yuan, so consumers have to pay at least one-time or even ten-fold price. Stopped electricity by 10 yuan, made a water increase by 20, and occasionally burned several inconsequential production lines or factories. The money will be earned several times as much as the consumer.
'Monopoly' after the price increase
There is a common trick in shopping malls. Once successful, the monopolist can count a lot of money to discard money counters. The first step is of course to find opportunities to beat the opponent half alive. Let the opponent fall into a vicious circle and leave a breath. , but not a one-time kill, keep opponents in one breath is to avoid anti-monopoly investigation.
Then through the upgrading of products to improve performance to increase prices, especially in the case of a monopolistic situation is simply how much up how much. To know that 'a penny a cargo' is followed by the sentence 'one dollar three points of goods' , emmmm you see three times the performance of a product, how much the price span will know.
Therefore, the graphics card market is not only NVIDIA and AMD. Don't forget that Intel's processors also have a kernel that is often ignored by gamers. It may be that for game players, it is simply an item that increases power consumption, but For an office environment that does not require high-performance graphics, it is simply an artifact.
In this way, isn't this the graphics card? Not to mention that Intel sells a desktop processor almost every time it sells a card, so the game’s share in the market is a real monopoly. , But looking at the entire graphics card market is just like monopolization!
You say this is cool or not? The hot strips are more and more likely to feel hotter. The so-called blatant money-picking is just like this. It can make big profits when it does not involve monopoly crimes. The situation is not something that can be easily encountered. I am not a philanthropist. Why do I not increase prices?
When does the video card price cut?
In the past two days, everyone has been struggling with the mine disaster, and the graphics card has to be reduced in price. The price cuts do not exist! To know the normal price of the graphics card, the GTX 1060 6G is about 2000 yuan, and the RX 580 also maintains the same price point. In the graphics card price At the height of the climax, the price of 1066 went all the way to 3500; 588 also to 3700, and now after the ebb tide, the low price range of 1066 is also 2500 yuan, and the price of RX 580 is 2700 yuan. Is this a price reduction?
To know that the price of the GTX 10 series when it was first released is far less fierce, the Pascal architecture has been almost two years away from the start of the year, and Limian is already old. According to the normal market rules, the new product should be sold at a price higher than the current price. Nearly 1,000 yuan low.
At present, this wave of price reductions is a clean-up operation before new products. From the perspective of price tightening, there are too many people involved in it. If price cuts are too low, the second traders who spent a lot of money buying cards will certainly collapse. However, such people are not rare, so it is possible that high-level decision-making video cards will use soft landing to transition to new architecture products.
As a result of the above reasons, the normal price of new products in the future will increase relative to the normal price of the previous generation products. In addition, the great probability is that the new product will have lower per-thousand yuan performance price improvement than the previous generation. , The extra price from the original proportion is the actual amount of the actual price increase.
So ah, graphics card price reduction does not exist!
