Link #1 and #3 mention crypto as one of the causes of the shortage.

Like #2 is a statement by Nvidia who has a vested interest in lying, and has lied about the exact same issue so blatantly that they got fined by the SEC for it.

Scalpers only come in when there's a shortage already, they don't cause shortages except at launch, they just delay items getting to the real users.

There's image and video evidence of dozens to hundreds of GPU mining rigs in a single room if you care to look.
