Taurus4BTC on Nostr: Big Tech is projected to spend nearly $1 trillion on AI capital expenditures by 2027. ...
Big Tech is projected to spend nearly $1 trillion on AI capital expenditures by 2027. KKR just committed $10 billion to AI-dedicated power plants. Coatue is launching data center initiatives. Founders Fund raised $6 billion for the space.
But here's what the infrastructure narrative misses.
Bitcoin's proof-of-work doesn't care how many miners participate. Every 2016 blocks, the difficulty adjusts automatically. The guy running an Antminer in his garage and the industrial mining operation are validating the same chain.
AI needs grid connections, permitting, and cooling infrastructure. Bitcoin needs electricity and a box that runs.
While capital floods into centralized AI data centers, Bitcoin's security runs on distributed hardware anywhere power exists. Home miners today could be the network's backbone tomorrow.
