Vitalik Buterin also compared Bitcoin mining costs with AI inference costs. The ETH price today is $2,428.38, down 0.6%. Nothing in these updates proves they caused that move. Verification: The Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR) now has a Lean safety proof. Gloas fix: Verification exposed a fork-choice bug in the spec, and it was corrected. Vitalik Ethereum news: Bitcoin mining costs split about evenly between hardware and power. AI inference leans heavily on hardware.
