Hackers mining by taking advantage of cloud providers may seem like they're just cutting into the platform’s flesh, but each cut could strike at the root of our crypto ecosystem!

1 Short term? The coin price will bounce as it should!
Those sons of bitches are mining with stolen AWS and Alibaba Cloud machines. Sounds scary, but it’s actually just like borrowing a little shovel to dig next to the big miners' gold mine.

How much is the total computing power of Bitcoin and Ethereum? This little 'tainted computing power' isn't even enough to fill the gaps! What about the short-term impact on coin prices? No effect at all! Whether it rises or falls still depends on Bitcoin's face and whether the Federal Reserve is injecting liquidity. Many coins mined by them are confiscated before they even get warm, making it impossible to dump.

2 Long term? Troubles ahead! Costs and regulations are two blades!

Costs are going to rise? Miners need to stay alert! Cloud providers must be furious with this situation! Strengthening security and tightening checks is essential. What happens as a result? Server prices might go up!

High-performance machines might be harder to rent! Those brothers mining with rented cloud servers will see costs rise sharply and profits plummet. Remember how AWS banned mining accounts in bulk back in the day? How many brothers had to move overnight? This is a lesson from the past.

The regulatory hammer might come down! If this gets big, is there a risk for 25% of the cloud? When regulators see this: 'Wow, mining in the crypto world not only consumes power but also becomes a security loophole creator?' Isn't this just handing them a knife?

There might be even harsher moves coming at any moment:

Forcing cloud providers to monitor all 'suspicious computing power'. In the future, if you want to rent a high-performance machine to do something, you’ll be buried in layers of approval.

Using 'security risks' as an excuse to further suppress anonymous coins and mixers. Monero brothers are trembling! How did Tornado Cash disappear back then? It was under similar pretenses!

3 Small coins and privacy coins? Be careful not to get targeted!
The big shots look down on this little tainted computing power, but small coins and new GPU mining coins can’t withstand it! If hackers concentrate their efforts on these small coins, won’t the computing power suddenly surge and plummet, causing prices to go on a roller coaster?

Miner profits are going to get chaotic! And coins like Monero, which are already hackers' favorites, if their computing power gets distorted by these people, I’m really worried the community might start doubting its safety.

4 Confidence is a fragile thing; every injury reduces it!
What do institutional investors value most? Safety! Compliance! Daily reports of corporate clouds being hacked for mining make it seem like the infrastructure of the crypto world is all a sieve. Investors are feeling uneasy.

Is this place safe? Is it reliable to put money here? Especially for those big institutions providing custody, ratings might need to be downgraded. The media will fan the flames, and the label of 'blockchain is unsafe' will be slapped on again.

5 Is there danger but also opportunity in the crisis? Who's laughing?

Security companies are smirking! Those doing on-chain analysis and cloud security monitoring will see their business boom immediately! Sharpening their knives to prepare for... Ah no, it's to serve the customers.

Is decentralized cloud computing about to rise? Projects like Akash Network can boldly proclaim: Look! Centralized clouds aren't reliable, right? Come to me, it's distributed and safer.

ASIC-resistant small coins might get speculated? Reason? If hackers use cloud servers for mining, then coins specifically designed to counter professional mining machines seem even more 'fair' and resistant to hackers.

Summary:
This situation, while not having a direct impact on the market right now, has definitely buried a mine!

The biggest threat is cost and regulation!

Rising prices for cloud services and difficulty in renting machines are thorns stuck in the miners' sides; regulatory leverage is a sword hanging over the entire crypto space! Monero and other privacy coins, as well as small mining coins, need to be extra cautious.

End

Brothers, which coin do you think these 'cloud rats' will target next?

Should we continue messing with Monero, or go after the newly released 'young seedlings' mining coins?

Will cloud providers ruthlessly raise prices this time?

When will the regulatory hammer fall?
