Pedro Gomes: AI demand surpasses BTC mining as new energy driver, PoS better aligned with finance

Pedro Gomes: AI demand surpasses BTC mining as new energy driver, PoS better aligned with finance
AI energy boom outpaces BTC mining

Pedro Gomes observes that Bitcoin’s original proof-of-work (PoW) model was premised on mining generating energy demand to spur new supply, a dynamic that initially held true but later plateaued.

He now sees artificial intelligence inference as the emerging equivalent to PoW, causing an even larger energy surge than Bitcoin mining did. Despite these shifts, he points out that Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) system continues uninterrupted and appears to align better with financial needs.

Gomes previously announced plans to attend Money2020 in Amsterdam to engage with others about WalletConnect Pay. At the event, he encouraged attendees to visit booth 5D80 and purchase merchandise through WalletConnect Pay. These moves highlight ongoing activity around payment technologies in his recent work.
