As a gamer, it sucks terribly. I want a 1080 Ti but they're impossible to find for a reasonable price.

NVDA is doing well. God, that company has nicely leveraged their core product to hit on all the growth cylinders.

I bought an RX 570 three weeks ago; local prices have increased 30% since. In three weeks.

I've bought a 1070 last year for machine learning and used it for a few days.

Now I don't know what to do: sell it since Volta will be a game-changer for ML anyway, but what if when I will want to do ML again it will be impossible to buy any card?

You could have run miner on it 24/7 when not doing other work, by this time you could get price you paid more than 2x, maybe 3x

ETH is going PoS soon enough, the other altcoins drive GPU mining significantly as well. Particularly the CryptoNight coins (Monero, Electroneum, etc) for the AMD market, and Equihash coins (Zcash, primarily) for Nvidia cards.
