## Quote — verbatim

> There are GPUs in your Macintosh that are not used — there's lots of GPUs out there. Data centers themselves have enormous GPUs, and more importantly you have Ethereum, which is proof of work transitioning to proof of stake — this entire GPU infrastructure is going to be free. So a lot of GPUs around, but there's no way for these GPUs to hit the market.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

The supply-side case for a GPU marketplace: consumer machines, data centers, and post-Merge Ethereum miners all hold stranded GPU capacity. Early statement of the home-hardware-earning thesis.
