At some point miners are only going to get so efficient - that'll be the great leveller. Once that happens, I might get back into mining.
I fully expected by this point in time to be able to purchase a 4U 1600W unit for about 1 coin that would reliably ROI in about 2 years. In many ways this timeline is not the one I expected.

Yes the mobile phone is described in just about every sci-fi book. I even have a sci-fi book from the late 1800s about a guy who finds himself in the year2000, and they get quite a few things right, for example the mobile phone and credit cards. They also got a lot of things wrong, no prisons (criminality is treated and cured in hospitals), public kitchens and public washingplaces makes servants and the likes unnecessary and so on. It's quite a socialistic kind of future actually. But the smart phone I have never seen described, I mean it's not even a phone, just a screen that can do just about anything you want if you have the app.

Well that's just utterly ridiculous. One cannot live without servants. Full stop.

Physical form always changes, and i am not sure about the 80ies, but star trek next gen had ipad-like forms (PADDS) on which they could do essentially anything. the only difference from the current cell phone is slightly larger size. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/how-star-trek-artists-imagined-the-ipad-23-years-ago/google search star trek ipad-there are many forms, some resembling a large cell phone. like this: https://mikecanex.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/picardorangepadd.jpg

It’s not rain, it’s the salty tears of oil investors wishing they’d bought bitcoin instead.

One is a small portable phone/screen, the other a large bulky weird looking computer, like a lap top missing its lower part. But that's just me.
