Larry's Law

All internet discussions regarding video cards or GPUs, given enough time, will decay into a discussion regarding digital currency mining.

"I know this topic is about the performance of the 6600XT, but I have to say that given the cards are out of stock due to miners buying them all up..."

"Ah man, this topic got Larry's Lawed!"

Donnelly's Law

Through self-selection critics of Bitcoin become dumber and less numerous the higher that the USD:BTC price goes. As the last remaining no-coiners, they clutch onto prior beliefs to rationalise away the new economic reality that they cannot comprehend and espouse it loudly to either prevent the inevitable, find company or appease prior fiat-Keynes overlords. Price and stupidity of this group appear to be correlated, while their population number is inversely correlated.
"What they really should do is back Bitcoin with USD!" Slow down egg head, you appear to be demonstrating Donnelly's Law.
