I’ve been saying the crypto world and AI are exactly the same, today’s tokens are just like BTC back in the day. Anthropic @Anthropic spent $9.1 billion to sign a 20-year compute power lease with Bitcoin mining company Riot, renting 191 megawatts of electricity until June 2048. With renewal options, the total price could reach $16.1 billion. Miners spent a decade mining crypto, and now they’ve transformed into AI data centers. The world really is one big cycle.
