The good thing about this is that even if it continues to rally, no rational miner would invest in new cards with the merge hanging over their heads. They will just continue to mine on the old cards until it happens.

Something else could spell bad news for GPU prices (and semiconductor industry).
It will not escalate to nukes.-If China shoots down a plane carrying the house speaker then... I dunno it was a good run everyone looks like we're not making it passed the great filter.
At least then we don't have to worry about gpu prices...Or, yeah, they shoot the plane down and we all get conscripted for WW3.
That's why it makes sense to go out now & buy all the compute gear you want before the shite hits the fan... so to speak!-If China shoots down a plane carrying the house speaker then... I dunno it was a good run everyone looks like we're not making it passed the great filter.
I doubt it would happen, but it is a scary thought. An invasion of Taiwan with TSMC and other vital tech industries falling under Chinese control.
That would be a very bold move and it would result in certain death for almost everyone involved in that effort, save for the Taiwanese engineers that China will need to keep alive to rebuild everything.I would think that they also have some sort of plan to destroy/sabotage the Taiwanese plants if the Chinese do somehow invade.
No, the reason for the Arizona plant is to expand production capacity. As of last year, they were at full capacity and unable to take on new clients and orders.Perhaps that is one reason TMSC is building a 12 billion $ plant in Arizona? I would think that they also have some sort of plan to destroy/sabotage the Taiwanese plants if the Chinese do somehow invade.

If Taiwan gets into VERY hot water, the whole computer industry will go south very quickly.
Ever heard of black comedy?Taiwan might get attacked by the ChiComs...we're more interested in how it might affect our compuer parts and prices...

What do you mean by attacked? When China is finally united will get even cheaper video cards. It cannot happen fast enough.Taiwan might get attacked by the ChiComs...we're more interested in how it might affect our compuer parts and prices...
China is already unified.What do you mean by attacked? When China is finally united will get even cheaper video cards. It cannot happen fast enough.
Exactly, your comment imo is completely relevant to the topic at hand. But geopolitical realities are hard for some to digest.China is already unified.
However, China adding more occupied territories to its cruel and evil empire is unlikely to result in cheaper video cards:
1. The US is required by law to defend Taiwan.
2. It is very likely China will cease exports to people shooting at it.
3. Since the majority of computer board final assembly is done in China, this would result in a massive supply shortage resulting in skyrocketing prices.
War would not result in cheaper computer components in our lifetime.
