Do not look down on the shovel-selling business

In the past two years, many people looked down on companies that simply rented computing power or provided AI cloud services. They thought it was just a buy-low-sell-high business with no technical content and no future. After all, where is the moat in being a middleman?

Reality slapped everyone hard. When demand grows large enough, all those rules about business models have to step aside. The world’s hunger for compute is now a bottomless pit. This extreme imbalance between supply and demand has turned a so-called low-end business into a money printer. Sometimes when making decisions, we fall too easily into theoretical models and ignore the simplest market law: when everyone is digging for gold, the person selling shovels by the roadside may make more than anyone else. This also reminds us not to judge any business form with prejudice. If the wind is strong enough, even an unlikely business can fly for a long time.
