One of the biggest tech companies in the world, Nvidia has said that "Crypto does not bring anything useful into society" despite people buying their chips in countless amounts to mine cryptocurrencies with. Instead they recommend using their chips to train AIs with.
Its not without reasoning, Chat GPT is one of the most successful AIs ever and it was trained on a super computer with 10,000 Nvidia chips.

This was in an effort to stop crypto enthusiasts buying up all of their stock and instead be able to sell their products to the target audience of AI builders and PC gamers.
