"The Bitcoin guys kind of understood the power game a lot better especially like the density side of things... in five or 10 years when this market really matures they're going to be the industry leaders." The market currently discounts these stocks as cyclical crypto miners. However, AI training requires massive energy density—a specific engineering constraint that miners have mastered and traditional data centers struggle with. As miners repurpose capacity for sticky, high-margin AI compute contracts, they will re-rate from "commodity miners" to "critical AI infrastructure," capturing market share from legacy providers. Long Bitcoin miners that are actively pivoting to HPC/AI strategies. Regulatory hurdles on energy usage or failure to execute the technical transition from hashing (SHA-256) to general compute. | — | |

"Everyone thought when this whole emergence came that the traditional data center companies would just chew up all that demand and that's not happening." The consensus trade is that legacy data centers (Digital Realty, Equinix) are the sole beneficiaries of the AI boom. The speaker argues they are losing the "density" war to miners. If traditional data centers cannot handle the heat/power requirements of next-gen AI chips as efficiently as miners, their growth assumptions are overpriced. Avoid or underweight legacy data centers relative to power-dense mining infrastructure. Traditional data centers may acquire miners or retrofit faster than expected. | — | |

"I think long term it's going to be very good for Bitcoin you know for for that from like a macro perspective." As miners diversify revenue streams into stable AI compute contracts, they become less reliant on selling Bitcoin to fund operations. This reduces "miner capitulation" risk during crypto bear markets and strengthens the overall network security and corporate stability of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Long Bitcoin as the underlying infrastructure matures and stabilizes. Short-term correlation decoupling if miners focus too heavily on AI at the expense of hashrate. | 0:05 |
