Yes bitcoin - CCP produces 80% of the world’s bitcoins. Now they can make even more even cheaper, since they don’t have to buy someone else’s GPUs

What US company gave the CCP the technology to develop this chip in return for using china’s slave labor pool to reduce their production cost for the chips they were making at the time of the technology transfer?

All of them ...

Re: "What US company gave the CCP the technology?"

More likely an elite USA university or government lab.

China has hundreds of students in elite USA graduate programs or doing internships at elite research labs.

Insane.

Trump and the so called Department of Justice began cracking down on this at the end of his term, but too little, too late.

At least we can find slight comfort in the fact that almost all of China's advanced technology has been stolen or copied from someone else.

Buy a Graphics card on ebay and it could old card with funky Chinese reprogramming to make it look like a much better card

An RX 480 I bought a year or two ago for $180.00 now going for upwards of $800.00. Have fun getting a cheap one.

[Biden killed a Korean battery plant here. He’s a job killer and tax raiser and a immigrant coyote CEO. His legacy will be an epic disaster.]

Don't tell the WokeTopians. They're too busy watching PC trash out of Hollywood and watching "the news" for their latest information propaganda.

Oh, and all according to plan. His buddy is pulling the strings (along with friends).

Yep - lots of money pouring through there.

Lots of American small businesses that could not compete.

I’ve said before, the only businesses that will survive the Covid thing will be gas stations, some fast food places, grocery stores and Walmart.

Well I bet the MBA who made that deal "golden parachuted" out and now lives on a private island ...

Not a lot of GPU mining after ethereum goes to proof-of-stake.

No bitcoin mining with GPUs, all ASICs now. There is some use for GPUs for other coins https://www.whattomine.com/gpus but ETH will go to proof-of-stake and eliminate the need for any special HW.

ETH, and a few others, but not bitcoin or bitcoin cash.
