AI startups are paying a premium for something Bitcoin miners have had for years.
Reliable power at scale.
Not because miners got lucky. Because they had no choice.
You can't mine Bitcoin profitably on expensive, unstable electricity.
The margin is too thin. The hardware runs too hot. The grid relationship has to work or the operation doesn't.
So miners figured it out. Utility partnerships. Long-term fixed rates. Curtailment management. Cooling that runs continuously. Uptime systems built for 24/7 loads, not office hours.
That's the operational knowledge AI infrastructure companies are now paying consultants to approximate.
Bitcoin miners already have it.
Infrastructure doesn't care what you compute.
The playbook transfers. The expertise doesn't have to be rebuilt from scratch.
It already exists.
@TraxionGG Very cool, would like to see something similar to how PGA 2k allows for everyone to make a golf course if they want, would like to play all kinds of race maps
Aldi is incredible. For my household of 6 we used to spend 450-500$ a week on groceries at target. I just rolled out of Aldi for 192$ and got everything we used to get there minus a couple things.
No name brands, no fluff, I love it
