## Quote — verbatim

> You can simply put a bunch of 5090s, put it on Akash right now and actually earn a sizable income. Your biggest variable will be bandwidth and your energy costs. That's what you want to watch out for. Now, if you have access to, let's say, a solar or renewable, your marginal cost is zero. That's an incredible opportunity.

Also notes Bitcoin miners are pivoting their setups to AI compute. (Whisper renders "put it on Akash" as "put it on a cash" and slightly garbles the surrounding sentence.)
