I've been thinking about an interesting second-order effect of the AI infrastructure boom. Bitcoin miners historically had a pretty simple economic model: find cheap electricity, build the infrastructure, plug in ASICs and monetize that electricity by mining BTC. But AI is changing the economics of power. AI companies desperately need power, grid connections and data-centre capacity. Bitcoin miners already control a lot of exactly that infrastructure. So what happens if running AI GPUs becomes significantly more profitable than mining Bitcoin? A miner doesn't need to convert its ASICs into AI hardware — that's obviously not possible. But it can potentially repurpose the valuable infrastructure around them: land, power contracts, substations, cooling and data-centre facilities, replacing ASICs with GPUs/AI accelerators." --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@Cryptokid990` (https://x.com/Cryptokid990)
