Does anyone think mining was created to boost or save the tech industry in terms of hard goods? I have followed all of this for sometime including prices of video cards and such, 2015 was to be projected as the worst year for computer/part sales. It would seem alot more plausable to have coins that can not be mined such as IOTA where as i understand it, computers are bouncing small verification between 3 algos that tangle to make a whole instead of a DAG that never stops growing?
