## Resource

Core Scientific is rapidly shifting from Bitcoin mining toward AI data-center infrastructure after reporting $164.2 million in second-quarter revenue and announcing a major AMD partnership. Matt argues that this transition is likely temporary. AI customers want computing costs to fall, while Bitcoin mining continues rewarding additional hash power, so miners may eventually move back toward Bitcoin when the next bull market improves mining economics. The episode also covers the rapid growth of tokenized traditional assets, Emirates adding Crypto.com Pay for eligible UAE customers, and Binance losing Google Play access in parts of Europe after MiCA-related changes.  Matt also discusses trade.xyz reimbursing customers after an oracle-related price anomaly, a lawsuit against Apple involving $1.8 million lost through a fake Sparrow Wallet app, and Tether’s tokenization agreement with the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Bitcoin remains near $64,500, but Matt argues perspective matters: while recent buyers may be frustrated, long-term holders are still sitting on substantial gains, and a $64,000 Bitcoin remains historically significant.  Happy Hodling, Everyone.
