This is the actual answer to its own question 99% of the time, they gain a misguided sense of their own self-importance through survivorship bias.
Luckily we have people like Alex and Khabib who come along and - at least temporarily - humble the cunts.
Is there any issue with buying a card that was previously used for mining?
If used by a home user who didn't know what they were doing they might have run it hotter for much longer than a typical gamer so the thermal paste might need a redo.
If used by some miner doing it even quasi-professionally or as a side-gig I'd much prefer it over a 2nd hand card from any typical gamer (most miners) they've kept the voltage/temps low and taken care of it far better than a gamer who might be power cycling regularly and definitely thermal cycling even more regularly.
Tough to sell any old jar of farts without somebody wanting it for some reason (like having already seen pics of your butthole and becoming a perverted fan of everything your butthole ejects).
It seems that way to us on the face of it but the lines that've been trotted out are firstly the worry that money is coming from an illegal source whether underaged or trafficked and secondly that money laundering could be happening, OF would be/is an extremely easy way to clean dirty money.
They used to have to set up actual businesses that did actual work in case a genuine customer appeared, now they can buy feet pics and jars of farts or whatever.

It's funny how the few who're totally sold on Bluetooth go "ugh, but then you'd need a headphone jack" as if it isn't an upgrade for others which wouldn't affect their ability to use Bluetooth at all.
Thanks for the downvote - cloud storage is one aspect of it, yep. It's essentially AWS with blockchain security, no tracking, biometric logins and no need for a firewall. It's not meant to be a replacement for Ethereum or Bitcoin - why would anybody want to build an immutable fully featured website? Something like Reddit but built to be immutable and uncensorabke would become the world's largest CSAM repo.
The tokenomics are truly awful like any VC-bootstrapped inflationary coin although a huge amount is staked for 8 years, it's currently not decentralised enough with only 500+ nodes although I'd argue that that woeful amount is more decentralised than any chain where 3-4 pools decide what the miners and network does and it has zero ties with the WEF, they booked a room in the same building at Davos along with a few other tech companies. When my business has its manager meetings in a conference hall we're not suddenly in cahoots with the businesses in the other rooms either side of us. Ethereum has closer ties to the UN given they've worked directly with UNICEF.
It does incorporate smart contracts though, which you don't seem to want.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to convince you of anything or shill the coin - you asked a question and I answered!
Next time instead of copying the /r/cryptocurrency rhetoric because "waah the price has dropped" maybe ask yourself why Vitalik considers ICP to be a sister network to Ethereum.
Your timeline would almost certainly be a little less stupid if you did that with gusto, but people who've disagreed with you can also post things beneficial to you or post insights you hadn't thought of or post advice you'd find useful. I was a heavy RES tagger on reddit and I'd often come across well-meaning or useful posts and comments from people who'd been marked for saying jawdroppingly stupid shit about some other subject.
