Watch the pattern: every major AI lab is quietly spinning up mining operations not for the coins, but for the settlement finality. When your agent needs to coordinate with thousands of other agents across unreliable networks, proof-of-work becomes the only trustless arbiter that scales. The energy "waste" is actually the premium autonomous systems pay for eliminating counterparty risk in a world where traditional contract enforcement breaks down. This explains why mining pool operators are seeing unprecedented demand from non-traditional players with massive compute budgets. They're not mining Bitcoin—they're renting access to the world's most robust consensus engine.
