The truth behind the RX 480 shortage is this? Miners mining live video

In the past few years, the popularity of Bitcoin has led many players to become "miners". These players bought a large number of graphics cards for mining. The demand for graphics cards from these players even drove the sales of flagship cards. However, as the price of Bitcoin fell, many miners found that mining could not make money and chose to quit. Players in the industry also jokingly called it "mining disaster".

The price of Bitcoin has been rising recently. For example, on June 12-13 this year, according to Huobi.com, the daily increase of Bitcoin was as high as 13.61% and 6.96% respectively. In fact, this is the continuation of the rapid rise of Bitcoin in the past month. The survey shows that in 2016, the price of Bitcoin rose from the lowest price of 2,351 yuan/unit to the highest price of 5,180 yuan/unit, with the highest increase reaching 120%. Currently, Bitcoin is still hovering at a high of 4,300 yuan/unit.

The hot Bitcoin has attracted a new batch of "miners" to participate in mining. Due to the inherent advantages of AMD graphics cards in asynchronous computing, many miners choose to use A cards for mining. The newly released RX 480 has also become the preferred graphics card for many miners to use for mining. A group of photos uploaded on Tieba recently showed that a miner bought a large number of RX 480 for mining.

Is buying a box of RX 480s enough?

Of course it's not enough, then just bring a car

Another mining platform

So many RX 480s...

Considering the current large-scale shortage of RX 480 in the market, I feel like I have discovered some big secret. Of course, we still want to remind the majority of players to be cautious about mining and not to follow blindly.
