Before 2023, most folks probably associated AI with the far-off dystopias of The Terminator, The Matrix, or other depictions in pop culture. Now, AI is permeating every corner of our culture and economy as applications like Chat-GPT have taken a place alongside Google as the habitual tools of the internet’s citizenry. At the core of all of these applications – as with every facet of the Internet – is computing power, and bitcoin miners are betting big on becoming key producers of this compute. On this episode of the Bitcoin Stock Show, Tom Masiero of Cathedra Bitcoin shares his vision for how bitcoin miners factor into the most consequential technological revolution since the Internet.
