Rare earth elements form the backbone of the crypto industry. Electric vehicle motors, wind energy systems, drone technologies, and AI hardware—all depend on this resource. The hardware components of blockchain infrastructure are similarly reliant.

Approximately 70% of global production comes from a single country. This highlights how centralized the global supply chain is. If rare element supplies are disrupted, a wide range of sectors—from crypto mining equipment to AI systems—are affected. For investors, this represents a strategic risk factor beyond just energy costs.

Honestly, if 70% comes from one source, that's not very healthy... I guess we're underestimating the supply chain risk.

70% from a single country... this could actually hit crypto like a bomb

70% from one place? If it starts now, will supply disruption cause the crypto market to collapse?

70% from a single country? Bro, this risk factor is really underrated... When the supply chain is this fragile, even crypto mining equipment is at risk.

70% from a single country? That's the problem, when the supply chain is this fragile, everyone is at risk.

70% monopoly by a single country? That's the real systemic risk, more frightening than any policy uncertainty.

70% monopoly in a country, that's really a bit scary... If the supply is truly cut off, our mining machines will be directly rendered useless.
