The AI boom is reshaping global markets faster than anyone anticipated. Chip shortages, energy demands, and infrastructure bottlenecks are creating unprecedented supply chain tensions worldwide. Major tech players are scrambling to secure resources, driving up costs across the board. This isn't just about GPUs anymore—it's affecting everything from data center construction to semiconductor manufacturing capacity. The ripple effects are hitting industries far beyond crypto and Web3, forcing companies to rethink their entire production strategies.

This chip shortage is really absurd; even energy has become a bottleneck... Big companies are frantically stockpiling, driving up costs, and the entire supply chain is being held hostage.

I've said it before, selling chips (the "shovels") is always profitable, so why are you still hung up on mining?

The energy crisis is the real bottleneck; the chip shortage is just the surface.
The surge in GPU prices should have been foreseen long ago, realizing it now is a bit late.
Wait, isn't this just a repeat of the NFT craze from two years ago? Resources are being frantically snatched up, and in the end, it's still the Large Investors making money.
If the infrastructure can't keep up, any AI is useless.
Why is no one discussing electricity costs? That's the real killer.
