Very interesting view from Jefferies
Higher-risk, higher-upside winners: Bitcoin miners converting into AI infrastructure.
AI data centers need power.
Traditional data center developers may need years to get grid approval and build new sites.
But some Bitcoin miners already have powered land, grid connections, and electrical infrastructure.
That means companies like $CORZ, $WULF, and $RIOT may be able to move faster than traditional developers.
The catch?
A Bitcoin mining site is not automatically an AI data center.
AI/HPC needs better cooling, reliability, networking, and customer-grade infrastructure.
Miners with the best power access may become valuable AI infrastructure players.
Citi says the US market is flashing more warning signs than Europe.
No credit stress — just valuation + sentiment + AI‑capex hype.
Not a 2008 moment. Just a market priced like nothing can go wrong.
If AI capex slows, the correction could be painful.

@sorianmaran 100%
local AI is often limited
How much model you can load
Memory bandwidth
Whether CPU / GPU / NPU can share data without copying (very important)
Software support
Unified memory solves that
@harry03994688 For TSMC, only 3 are N2 capable
Intel has one main production fab (Fab 52) + supporting sites that ship 18A
ASE is NOT a wafer fab
it is more like high efficiency in packaging
