In 1848, during the California Gold Rush, there was a saying: “While others dig for gold, sell shovels.”
Meaning—don’t chase the hype, build the infrastructure that sustains it.
Fast forward to today, the same principle applies. Every technological revolution starts with abundance and ends with shortages.
We once believed computing power was limitless—until GPUs became gold. Then came the energy crunch, as AI training began consuming electricity at national scales. And now, the next scarcity quietly approaches: storage.
As @justinsuntron aptly put it:
> “In the short term, there’s a chip shortage; in the long term, an energy shortage; and there will always be a shortage of storage.”
AI’s hunger for data is infinite. Every model, simulation, and byte processed demands space. But centralized cloud systems are reaching their limits costly, fragile, and unsustainable.
This is where @BitTorrent steps in. Through #BTTC , it transforms unused global bandwidth and storage into a decentralized, permissionless network—one built for the AI era.
It’s not just about saving space; it’s about reimagining how data flows. Future AI models will require real-time access to massive, distributed datasets—and BitTorrent is engineered for exactly that.
While others chase smarter algorithms, BitTorrent builds the foundation they’ll rely on.
Because when the AI revolution hits full stride, it won’t run on centralized clouds.
It’ll run on decentralized storage.
And BitTorrent is already there.
