AMD does not believe that the producers of crypto-currency will be able to ensure the inflow of funds in the long term. However, the company hinted that due to the huge demand for graphics accelerators AMD manages to earn on the crypto currency - albeit indirectly.

Unlike AMD, other companies try to take advantage of the situation to the maximum: the same ASUS, for example, uses AMD and NVIDIA solutions and produces graphics cards adapted for mining.

While it is unclear how long the hysteria around the Crypto-currency will last. You can roughly estimate the scale, taking for granted the words of the head of Genesis Mining Company Mark Strang. In an interview with Quartz, he said that in order to meet the demand for "cloud mining" the company had to book charter Boeing 747, loaded with video cards.
