Crypto energy demand for decentralized payment systems = bad

Government aligned AI companies demanding high energy = okay

Honestly, now I question if crypto was the sole guilty to GPU prices raise or it was the AI scapegoat

At 9AM the temperature on Earth is "on pace" to exceed the surface of the Sun. But after sunset we're "on pace" to an ice age. Meanwhile Bloomberg seems "on pace" to be dissolved.
