Crypto currency mining fever now hurts search for aliens.

Earlier increase in crypto mining led to shortage of GPU chips which were used for building mining equpments.So its high increase in price severely affected the PC gaming industry.And now,its turn for industries which were indulging in search for aliens.GPUs are important for building radio telescopes used for researching extra terrestrial life.Now there is a huge shortage for GPU chips,thanks to crypto mining.

Why search for fake aliens? Why waste money on searching for something that was inspired by comic book writers. Bitcoin is real. Aliens are propaganda devices. Useless. Worthless. There is a planet like Earth 15 Billion Light Years away. How do we suppose to get there. Stupid people are slaves of fellow stupid people. Bitcoin is not competing with our search for aliens. If aliens exist. We don't need to search for them. They will show up.

I think that the shortage of these chips is temporary. Once there is a demand for such chips, its offer will increase, the corresponding enterprises will increase their production. However, such interest points to the increased role of the crypto currency in our life. It's all right. Aliens still wait, the crypto currency at this stage is more significant.

If humanity plans to expand into space, we need more GPU chips, and better data calculation methods. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency industry pushes us all towards the future. If there is a lack of product, there is a lack of production. Increasing production is the right answer to solve this problem.

On my opinion, why don't they tie up with some company who produce GPU to create GPU exclusive to them if they really in need of this materials, like some Chinese company for crypto mining who have a partnership with Samsung. Samsung creates a chip for them to use in mining and this chip is not intended or available for the public.

Yes, and striving to better technology, even if it is fueled by the greed and the bitcoin craze. Actually this is the perfect time for growth. And even though we look for life on other planets I never see any conclusion to the footage of the aliens by the United States. It drowned in Trump-mess. If we know there is life, the uncertainty would cease. And we can focus on what we actually do not know, are there any other means of communication than light, sound, radio and radiation?

The cool thing about blockchain tech is that there will be byproducts, and the byproducts might open up to some new science. How will Satoshi be remembered in the future, like some guy who created a currency or some guy that developed a new science. Very exciting futures ahead!
