Everything is connected and by extent is my problem. When Bitcoin prices were nearing the sky i had to pay twice as much to upgrade my computer because of all the miners who were using 100s of GPU's and RAM chips to mine bitcoins. They caused a surge in demand for hardware that i , a simple home gamer, had to pay for. Do you know how pissed off i was at the time? I had to make some very hard choices and cut corners on what i planned to buy/add/upgrade because of all the cryptocurrency craze that was going on.
