everyone's calling out scalpegg for their bundles, but i found canada computers to be the worst offender when it came to bundling.

I have absolutely no will power on heavily discounted electronics that I will use only once.

It's good that they're "making an effort" by bundling GPUs trying to sell them at a "fair" price. If you don't desperately need a computer now, my strong suggestion is to wait. The prices will eventually come back down to reality. There are also some big upcoming excuses for sales like: back to school; Black Friday; and Christmas.

Being a scalper does have its downsides, where you need to unload your overpriced excess inventory to recoup your losses (or at least attempt to lessen your losses). You made your profit already at the beginning. Now it's time to pay the piper. Nobody escapes the law of physics (economics) of whatever goes up must come down.

Why settle for full retail price when you can wait and get it at a lower price for better value (even better if there's a bundled freebies deal)? 😉

If it crypto pops again in Q3/Q4 your suggestion will not work though

The persistent existence of shitcoins doesn't necessarily mean that GPUs will always be in short supply though. Right now Ergo's mining profitability is held up by the fact that everyone is mining Ethereum so if Ethereum profitability continues to decline and it will (due to the London fork and eventual move to PoS), miners will move on to Ergo and RVN and saturate those blockchains. It would take a serious reversal of the bear market to make miners double down on mining right now.

True, but it's going to take some time for the miners to set up again and crypto has effectively crashed for the time being. China, the world's biggest crypto miner has outlawed crypto, threatening close shop or else. China is about to launch their own "crypto" or digital currency and they don't want competition they cannot control like Bitcoin. Thus, their reason for suddenly clamping down on crypto.

All in all, I don't expect crypto to recover until at least early next year at the earliest. All the closed crypto farms are now offloading their massive inventory of GPUs since they had to close shop.

Perhaps someone else famous may suddenly get all hot and bothered about crypto like Elon Musk did that will send crypto soaring again...

True, or enough people realize its a better long term store of value than gold :P

Bitcoin price -
Today it valued around $33000 USD
1 yr ago it was valued around $9000 USD
July 2016 it was at $700 usd
I’d take that percentage year on year return any time
I believe we need to look at crypto med - long term and not day to day week to week it’s so volatile in the short term but long term to date it has out performed everything else.

That depends on when you bought in.

If you bought in March when everyone was saying it was going to the moon, you'd be pretty pissed right now.

Past performance is irrelevant to future outlook, especially with something that is a pure speculation commodity. It has no indicators past how bad everyone wants it at a given time. What we're seeing is a very long-form game of hot potato.

In the last couple month I've made a good chunk just buying a couple hours after a negative press release, then selling a couple hours after a positive one; over and over. That's the game right now, the people that are told to sit on it are to just to keep the bottom from falling out well that goes on.

Cards will become more available and prices will keep going down as long as it stays under $50k.

You say it’s irrelevant not sure that is entirely true
But buying in at a record high comes with added risks
Anyone that been invested in crypto for a long time is likely to be well ahead of the game, new buyers / investors that have invested in the last couple of months expecting to triple or quad there money quickly well that’s a big ask for any investment. Many people invested in the earlier years saw very little gains for the first few years.
If you are making money from the dips and highs that’s all good

but I still stay crypto is a longer term investment if you expect to earn larger gains

I was mining on a triple HD6970 system back in 2011 and cashed out at the end of 2017 near the top of the spike. I'm still active in those communities and have been consistently the whole time.

No one really knows what's going to happen, it's just a mix of hope and hype. Like most things, people that are good at spin are creating projections and explanations but the reality is that the tail is wagging the dog and it could hit 100k or it could drop back to under $1000.
