In a research report, cryptocurrency miners were found to have bought 3M GPUs worth USD 776M in 2017!

No wonder difficulties for mining jumped across almost all GPU-minable altcoins!

Link says 3m, not 300m, so more like ~$258.

Haha. Good catch for the typo. I have corrected it.

If only GPUs were so cheap... :p
