Summary

AMD’s latest VEGA GPUs now tout the best mining hash-rates for Ether, the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain platform.

Ether still trades above $300. Mining crypto money is still profitable especially if you use solar or wind power source.

Due to the influx of cheap China-made solar panels, cryptocurrency mining has long-term growth potential.

Sales of discrete GPUs should remain strong for many more months to come. There will be more operators of Cryptocurrency-Mining-as-a-Service platforms.

More datacenter operators will eventually compete against cloud mining service providers like Genesis Mining.
