Public miners like Marathon, Core Scientific, TeraWulf, and Bitfarms are selling Bitcoin at record pace, unplugging hash rate, and redirecting billions into AI infrastructure. The result: network difficulty is dropping for the first time in years and hash rate is stagnating. Jesse walks through the latest headlines chronologically — from CoreWeave's $8.5B loan to OpenAI's $110B funding round — and explains the self-reinforcing loop driving the exodus. His thesis: if your breakeven is low enough to survive this slump, you'll earn more BTC per terahash as competitors exit.
