On a more serious note, Halo cards always existed even before the crypto shat took off. Titan Z had an MSRP of $3000, Titan XP had MSRP of $1200 which when adjusted for inflation and adding TSMC's tax is about in line where cards like 4090s should be priced. So buying Halo cards haven't been the issue, especially with as big of a leap that Lovelace is providing. Those that buy the 4080 series with Halo card prices though... That will be the main crucks of the problem.
