The key issue is this: the Trump administration may soon expand import tariffs on chips and related products. This is not a minor move. Rising semiconductor costs will directly transmit through the entire industry chain—from data centers to AI computing power supply, and to on-chain infrastructure operation costs.
What does this mean? The pricing models in capital markets need adjustment. The $SOL ecosystem's reliance on high-performance computing and the node costs of the $ETH network will all face revaluation. Especially for Web3 projects that depend heavily on assets, cost pressures will be more apparent.
What is the recommended response at this stage? Some believe that allocating to Bitcoin might be a safer strategy—it does not rely on continuous hardware upgrades but on the accumulation of network consensus.

Chip costs are rising → SOL and ETH node costs are about to explode. How is this calculation done? BTC is indeed lightweight, but we have to be honest—project teams love to use pricing logic to fool people. Can tariffs really reshape anything? The living expenses for my three kids have been confused by this set of logic in the crypto world.

The chip tariffs are really hitting SOL and ETH hard... But speaking of which, is BTC really invincible? It feels like this logic is a bit too idealized.

Chip tariffs have increased, and everything needs to be re-evaluated. SOL and ETH will suffer this round... BTC is still more attractive, no hardware costs involved.

An overlooked macro risk is emerging.
