Bitcoin trashed the GPU market before moving on to Asics. Then other coins kept going on GPUs.

Hadn't bitcoin not been viable on GPUs for over a decade? Most of the cryptocurrency hype was mining other coins on GPUs, or using them to do blockchain calculations for NFTs and things.

That was barely a year or two. Bitcoin wasn't very popular globally speaking when the first ASICs already was in development, and in between the two there was FPGA mining
