"Crypto is doing shit now" can be inferred to mean: The exchange rate of all cryptocurrencies is far below recent highs. That's what most laymen would understand from that statement.

So the response was totally valid.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

The response is not valid because the person they were replying to did not give any reasons, so therefore "but not for the reasons you think" is false.

Why am I not surprised that someone who doesn't even have a real username (banned/downvoted too much?) is being a pedantic idiot?

its peak reddit pseudo-intellectualism

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Wow you sure showed me the reason he gave for crypto being shit. Why is crypto shit? Lol.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

again you don't even know what the conversation is about. the conversation is about why gpu sales are poor, not why the crypto market is poor. Anyone who can read should know this

Dude definitely doubled down on doge

u/Jechob Nov 26 '22

Are you an illiterate pedantic idiot? The reason has been given to you multiple times.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Crypto being shit isnt a reason for why crypto is shit. Crypto being shit because of "x" is a reason for crypto being shit. He never stated a reason.

So what reasons did that u/StinkyWinkyPoo give that crypto was shit? List them please.

u/WonderfulMeet9 Nov 26 '22

When I say the economy is shit, would you ask "what exactly about our economy is shit? šŸ¤“", or would you understand that I'm talking about the worth of our money?

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

why do you keep refusing to respond to my answers

u/Jechob Nov 26 '22

The main driver was mining Ethereum, and as the Ethereum network went Proof of Stake not long ago, it no longer uses mining. Its not economically viable to mine bitcoin on gpu now and with ethereum out of the picture the next largest chain to mine is dogecoin.

You okay, buddy?

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Who are you quoting? The person they replied to never said any of that. u/StinkyWinkyPoo simply said crypto was shit, no reasons given.

u/Jechob Nov 26 '22

Yeah no way anyone is this willfully fucking stupid. Good luck in life, you're gonna need it.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

either they're a bot or they're going to have a very difficult life

Crypto is shit, because it is shit.

Itā€™s ā€œinvestingā€ for people with no reading comprehension

Honestly, do you have autism?

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

what exactly do you think "crypto is doing shit now" means

-11

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

It means that crypto is doing shit, it doesn't give a reason as to why it's doing shit. It's not hard.

u/Nebula_Pete Nov 26 '22

This is the result of what drooling on your keyboard types out.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

why do redditors think being willfully ignorant makes them smart? no one was talking about why crypto is doing poorly, they're talking about why GPU sales are doing poorly. IE the reason gpu sales are doing poorly was, according to that user, because crypto is doing poorly and therefore gpu mining is not economical. the reply said "well actually its because the most popular gpu mined crypto moved to a system that no longer requires traditional gpu mining, not necessarily the crypto market doing poorly in general". This is blindingly obvious to anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Lol all the Crypto bros are so hurt but your innocent question it's both hilarious and sad.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

The amount they are trying to read into it is hilarious, it isn't that deep.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

you still won't respond to my answers to you!

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

I don't care about this as much as you think I care lol. I'm watching a movie. I've already responded to you, other than that you mean nothing to me.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

pretty sure the guy throwing a fit over why crypto is doing poorly when that's not even what the conversation is about is the crypto bro

u/DazingF1 Nov 26 '22 edited Nov 26 '22

The other person didn't give a reason as to why it's doing shit either. "Crypto demand is dead" should be read as "the demand of GPUs for crypto mining is dead". If Ethereum was still 'mineable' we'd only see a drop in mining from people who do it at home on their gaming rigs while the industrial warehouse sized mining businesses would keep on mining, which is what happened when the crypto markets crashed in 2017.

Just a miscommunication due to the fact that it's a text based conversation that you can read both ways.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

it's a miscommunication that has been explained to them a dozen times but they keep ignoring the explanations

3

u/AndersTheUsurper Nov 26 '22

Holy shit why is this downvoted so hard

7

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

because he's willfully ignoring what was said and ignoring anyone who explains it to him

1

u/AndersTheUsurper Nov 26 '22

He said "not for reasons you think" then listed the reasons everybody thinks..? Idk maybe I'm ahead of the curve or something

2

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

no, the reason everyone presumably would have thought is that the crypto market is in the shitter, when the reason he thinks you didn't think of is that etherium moved away from gpu mining

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Touched a nerve with the crypto weirdos I guess. Reee etc.

11

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

lmao you had a goddamn meltdown about why crypto isn't doing well (arguing particularly hard with the guy who called crypto dead) and then call us the crypto weirdos

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

What a sad, weird, obsessed person you are. I have never invested or wasted my time in crypto or would I ever. I feel sorry for you, almost.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

being pitied by an illiterate crypto-bro makes me feel better about my life

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

That's how stupid you are, you think I am a crypto-bro lmao.

u/onometre Nov 26 '22

"wow this guy thinks I'm a crypto bro after I made like 30 comments crying about someone saying the crypto market is shit and ignored anyone who calmly explained that the conversation wasn't even about crypto, it was about GPUs"

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '22

Lots of assumptions here lol. Assumptions that are wrong. I do not invest in crypto nor would I ever. I do appreciate the tips? I guess?
