I dont get what u mean by out of touch. Innovation occurs. Things change. Cant do much about it.
GPU is the past.  Horses were used in the past. Then, cars came. The problem with mining is that it is getting harder to breakeven these days.
I understand your pain. Buyers gotta hope no competitor comes up with a similar asic.

I won't have pain. I broke even on my gpus long ago. Don't worry about me.

He is out of touch of touch related to...

1 - What shifting gpus off of ETH will do to other crypto. He has stated he doesn't think asic represents a significant portion of the network.
2 - If you have read about how they plan on implementing ETH PoS... On a scale of decentralization to centralization you have....
Decentralization---CPUs----GPUs----Asics----ETH PoS---Centralization


Bitcoin litecoin dash etc are all mined via asics and they are decentralized fine, without issues.
GPUs are unfortunately the past. U should sell them.


They are not worth selling. I'll make more over the next 12-18 months mining than I would selling them. Even at $300 ETH, $100 XMR I can do that. (I pay my own taxes and electricity)

I'm not arguing against Asics. I own several. I also purchased a few of these. (Different email, BTC addresses, physical address [of friends])

I'm saying PoS is the most ETH centralized of them all.
