Episode 42 - Mesoamerican Cockfighting

A few weeks back I was looking online for a graphics card for a PC I was hoping to build with a friend and I found out that the graphics card we wanted was sold out. Everywhere. Not only that, but every graphics card of similar processing power was also sold out. The rare few still selling in odd corners of the internet were going for as high as 10x regular retail price.

When I expressed my frustration to Spencer, I found out why. Turns out Spencer has 20 of these things humming away in his garage mining cryptocurrency. So of course I made him explain himself in Explain the Hype.
