Future humans realized AI was the only way to beat the aliens and sent a message to the past with instructions to invent crypto so that the infrastructure would be ready for the majority of timelines.
Good point, everyone was expecting GPU prices to go down and all crypto bros to drop their mining rigs, but they can just repurpose them now...
I thought anyone serious about mining switched to ASICs and custom hardware a while ago. At least for BTC and maybe eth, a custom asic setup is ~2-3x more profitable
