Bitcoin miners are selling up - graphic cards and memory are going to get cheaper.

Great news for those wanting a GPU but what's the price of memory got to do with bitcoin? Mining crypto is not a heavy user of RAM (or disk, if that's what you meant)
About bloody time. I've held off buying a 1080ti as the market price has gone through the roof.
I daresay there will be a lot of shoddy second hand "bargains" around that have been running flat out in server farms for a year or so.
PC memory prices have been affected by factories retooling/refocusing to produce GPU's, less demand for GPU's will allow increased memory production lowering prices.
Good, cryptocurrency is just that a currency, not an investment vehicle - it had the hallmarks of a dangerous bubble and who knows whose 'too big to fail' and carrying too much of it.
Don't bank on memory getting cheaper soon, simply there's more demand than supply, with a healthy dose of price gouging.
I paid £80 for 16gb of DDR4, twelve months ago, that same memory now costs £210.
That looks like those dodgy ads and competitions you get on Facebook.
In terms of memory, you also have to consider the demands from the smart phone market, the sheer demand for phones a requiring 2, 3 4gb of ram or more, it's vast demand.
