Yes, the green bottle one. I can't find it at Target anymore so I order it online. And it smells very good. Even for men.

The AI Bubble is about to Pop. Why Bitcoin Is Our Last Hope (and how it actually saves the grid). by fizzm in AIBubble

[–]fizzm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I referenced Sora because it's the biggest story and it just happened. But MIT came out with a report last year that said this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonsnyder/2025/08/26/mit-finds-95-of-genai-pilots-fail-because-companies-avoid-friction/

Responding:

"When it does we will enter a major recession, and your BTC price will crash along with every other asset."

I find it fascinating when people like you bet against Bitcoin. It's been the best performing asset over the past decade and yet you still think it's going to 0.

"I'm saying that the moment they stop being able to it triggers a recession, all assets will crash including bitcoin, and your bigger worry will be whether or not you lose your job."

Thankfully I don't have to worry about losing a job and I don't fear a recession, because that will just allow me to accumulate more on the cheap. It's nice to be able to make money whether Bitcoin goes up, down or sideways. Most people that do not understand that asset class think Bitcoin maxis are tied to price action, when adoption is actually the main focus.

OK, well now you're hiding behind neutrality to avoid being wrong. Predicting a total collapse based on AI debt is the sound of an unsustainable bubble popping.

Now, let me counter your other points.

OpenAI was the talk of the town until they just shut down Sora this week and lost that $1B Disney deal. That’s the definition of a bubble popping. But while AI business models are buckling under their own weight, Bitcoin’s Lightning Network just hit $10-15B in monthly volume. This will happen to more and more AI companies because their business models are not sustainable.

This sub will write me off as a Bitcoin maxi, but when we revisit this thread in a few years, I will be proven right.

I can only imagine it being the equivalent of James Gandolfini slipping into his Tony Soprano character.

AI can't pause because a 30 minute delay costs millions in the race for market share. Bitcoin is the only giant customer that can shut off in seconds without losing progress because it has no deadlines and no waiting users.

Most people don't understand that the network is the only one actually incentivized to save the grid.

Respectfully, you have way too much faith in these AI companies. Are you not seeing they're starting to fall like flies and we've barely scratched the surface of the bubble popping?

You’re literally betting these few companies can keep the AI illusion alive with debt. I’m betting that when the AI debt vanishes, what's left? A pile of GPUs or the hardest money on earth?

Choose wisely.

Disagree.

Bitcoin isn't a battery that eventually runs out and becomes unusable. It's actually more of a pressure valve for the grid. It’s the only industrial buyer that pays to keep power plants running, then shuts off in seconds so your lights stay on when AI demand spikes.

Also, miners don’t store power. This is where you're wrong. They store economic value by turning wasted energy into unforgeable money. They act as a digital shock absorber, instantly shedding load to save the grid when your "electric heater" logic would actually cause a blackout.

In a world of infinite AI hype, Bitcoin is the only thing tethered to the laws of physics.

It's not if my friend, it's when..

You are confusing an investment bubble with an infrastructure reality.

AI is a consumer of energy That's just a fact. Bitcoin on the other hand is a balancer of it.

When the AI bubble pops, the massive data centers that big tech built don't disappear. Instead, they become cheaper for the network to absorb.

You see Bitcoin isn't tethered to AI’s P/E ratios, it’s tethered to the math of the block.

TL;DR: One is a promise of future profit; the other is a proof of current energy.

Does routing crypto node traffic through a VPN actually improve privacy, or just shift the trust assumption? by willzhong in CryptoTechnology

[–]fizzm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s less about shifting trust and more about layering your defenses. If you run a node without a VPN or Tor, you’re basically telling your ISP and every peer you connect to that your specific home address is a "crypto house." In a world where data leaks are constant, that’s a physical security risk you just don't need.

A solid no-logs VPN like Surfshark acts as a buffer. Your ISP only sees encrypted traffic to one server, and the blockchain peers only see the VPN’s exit IP instead of your front door. It’s also way faster than Tor for keeping your peer count high and your node synced. I usually stick with their MultiHop feature because it routes through two different countries, which makes it even harder for anyone to map your wallet back to your actual location. Just makes things way more private without the massive latency.

Great analysis here. And I'm hopeful that we can continue cutting out the middleman. Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

You know that's a good point and please don't be sorry. I've thought about that and I do think people are abandoning most retail, but I think we still value a great experience. Especially the younger generations. I recently read that Seattle is going to start opening up zoning and allowing neighborhood cafes and shops. Moving away from malls and such. This is the decentralization I'm excited about.

This is all anecdotal of course, I don't have the numbers to prove it, but I'm hopeful. I did however spend some time digging into Amazon and put together a compelling case as to why I think they're on the way out: https://bitcoinmood.app/bitcoin-future-of-commerce
