  • Is this maybe part of the reason? European buildings are so old, the literal ground is the floor. We dig into the ground to make a basement. We pour concrete into/onto the earth to lay bricks on top.

    US homes I see are mostly raised wooden floors off the ground. You literally make a first floor, even if it’s very close to the ground level.

    Wouldn’t be too surprised.














  • It’s actually fairly hard because the infrastructure is quite different. These new buildings or repurposed ones from Bitcoin mining are more of a supercomputer than a data center. Usually facilities like this are for storage and connection, so they are built close together and have massive input output lines.

    In contrast, the new ones are put wherever there’s least resistance, in the middle of nowhere, ideally a place with cheap electricity or few neighbors to run generators 24/7.

    I think the only viable usage would be renting out the cards to users, replacing home usage of models. Then again, they won’t actually be able to put up very many of these regardless, so there isn’t too much loss as long as the bubble pops soonish like 2027.
