There's obvious synergy here to build a self-sustaining ecosystem-annihilator:
10 Burn AI tokens to develop cryptocurrencies
20 Burn down the rain forest to calculate sha256 faster
30 Sell sha256 hashes to finance AI buildout
40 GOTO 10
Some capitalist enterprises produce valuable goods or services as a byproduct of making money, BTC cuts out those extra steps, efficiently producing pure waste heat.
