Regardless of their opinion as to "think cryptocurrency is a scam" they can make money selling CPU cycles to people who have bought into the cryptocurrency thing. Bonus if the cloud provider can offer "managed blockchain" flavour rather than "here's some vanilla infrastructure, you can run your blockchain stuff on that, just as well as you can on your laptop."

It's the old "Selling pickaxes during a gold rush" plan. You don't actually have to worry so much as to if there's really gold to be found. Just if the miners buying pickaxes think that there is.

It shouldn't though, as most of them live in first world countries and have never experienced the calamities of hyper inflation and wealth seizure by the government.

How'd you fuck that up the market has been shooting up every week?

Isn't it possible to think BTC is a scam while believing other cryptocurrencies are not a scam?

That is, a more centralized crypto that Amazon controls. Or at least one that has a known and stable conversion rate set by some entity (which could be Amazon) to other goods.
