  • The value of USD has decreased by about 10% over 2 years. Over the same time period, BTC has been half and more than double its current value – a factor of 5 spread. Oil varied by a factor of 2, copper a factor of 1.5. Eggs a factor of less than 3.

    Things which vary that much can make useful commodities but are terrible currencies. You have accidentally given BTC a sick burn, since anyone who tried to pay their rent in crude oil would likewise be laughed at.


  • I have a similar setup to yours and fiber internet.

    While I debated upgrading my system, I got a subscription to GeForce Now for $20/month. It adds about 15 ms of lag (which, honestly, I don’t notice) and it runs everything at max settings on a server quality machine with an RTX 4080 card. I play from my laptop usually, but I also use my tv or phone and a Bluetooth controller.

    I am no longer debating upgrading my system. All hail cloud gaming.
