In the current wave of AI sweeping the globe, many people may not have noticed that behind the infrastructure driving this transformation, there is a group originally from the cryptocurrency world.

Take Chase Lochmiller as an example; he is the co-founder and CEO of Crusoe Energy. The initial business model of this company was very Web3: using wasted natural gas to mine Bitcoin, which not only solves energy waste but also supports the computational needs of decentralization.

But today, Crusoe has evolved into a core partner of OpenAI's "Stargate" project—responsible for building the largest AI data center in the United States, supporting the millions of GPU training capabilities needed for GPT-6 and GPT-7 in the future.

You might think AI and Crypto are two separate worlds, but in reality, they are converging.

Worldcoin, driven by Sam Altman, is essentially a Web3 application that incentivizes a global identity system using tokens. Elon Musk has invested in xAI and is also keen on Dogecoin. Even AI newcomers like Anthropic, Stability, and Mistral have many founders who were originally Crypto OGs behind the scenes.

As we invest in AI infrastructure in the future, we might consider: projects that have the potential to issue tokens, use tokens to incentivize open-source models, and promote user participation might truly be the prototype of "Votecoin."
