Dragonfly Partner: The current AI boom may not have emerged without the development of the crypto industry

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb posted on X platform, stating that the current AI boom might not have occurred without the development of the crypto industry. He noted that over the past decade, Bitcoin miners accumulated expertise in power acquisition, site selection, and large-scale infrastructure construction in remote areas, which has laid an important foundation for the expansion of AI data centers today. Additionally, the demand for crypto mining helped NVIDIA transition from a gaming GPU manufacturer to a supplier of AI computing chips.

Furthermore, the core teams of several emerging AI cloud service providers, including CoreWeave, Crusoe, Together AI, and Nscale, all have backgrounds in the crypto industry.
