$500B Stargate, OpenAI's $11.9B CoreWeave contract, and Anthropic's AWS/Trainium tie-up put a hard capex floor under the AI-L1 meme. Unlike crypto L1s, these networks can't bootstrap security with inflation; they rent it from Nvidia, CoreWeave, AWS, and power markets. If the 2017 ICO lesson applies, the whitepaper premium lasts until throughput, margins, and ecosystem lock-in get marked against actual usage.
