By infrastructure do you mean GPU’d or models?

“ Dark fiber, as an infrastructure, is designed to last for decades. It is common for dark fiber to be installed with a lifespan of no less than 20 years, and in many cases, it can remain functional for up to 30 years or more without degradation.”

I dunno, what if it’s all for naught? What if it’s more like crypto and becomes a medium sized niche technology?

“ global cryptocurrency market size was estimated at USD 5.70 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 11.71 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.1% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing adoption of distributed ledger technology is anticipated to propel the cryptocurrency industry growth during the forecast period.”
