World’s First Wind-Powered Underwater Data Center Has Been Unveiled

China has finished construction of what’s being billed as the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center, located off the coast of Shanghai. The center, which cost around ¥1.6 billion ($226 million), marks a bold step in sustainable, high-performance computing infrastructure.

The project combines offshore wind power, which supplies more than 95% of the facility’s electricity, with a naturally cooled seabed environment to cut energy and land use. Compared with traditional terrestrial data centers, the underwater project is designed to reduce total power consumption by an estimated 22.8%, as well as eliminate the use of fresh water and reduce land use by more than 90%.

Data centers need a whole lot of cooling to function. Large centers can consume up to five million gallons of water each day – around what a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people might use daily. 

OpenAI and Oracle's Stargate AI data center in Abilene, Texas, is taking a different approach to the issue than China. It is planning to mitigate water use with a closed-loop system that recycles an initial million gallons with expected top-ups of 12,000 gallons per year.

AWS Meltdown! (It’s Bad.)

On the morning of October 20, 2025, the world got a glimpse at what happens when the digital oxygen we all breathe suddenly becomes dangerously thin. Amazon Web Services (AWS) — the invisible backbone of the modern internet — went down. Hard.

The failure began in Northern Virginia’s U.S.-East-1 region, a single cluster of data centers so central to the web that engineers jokingly call it “the heartbeat of the internet.” Venmo halted transactions for hours. Robinhood trading froze mid-session. Netflix and Prime Video stalled during primetime in Asia.

See, here's the problem: Between AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, three companies control more than two-thirds of global cloud infrastructure. And nearly every industry has migrated its core operations to the cloud.

The digital grid is highly centralized and the price of centralization has become apparent. The grid doesn’t yet fully follow the internet’s logic of redundancy and decentralization, however much complexity has pushed the issue.

Which brings us to the next phase of the internet’s evolution, of which we stand in the early beginnings. One that draws direct inspiration from Bitcoin’s very first lesson…

Short Squeezes and Beyond (Meat)!

Yesterday, Beyond Meat (BYND) exploded 146%. It was a classic short squeeze – the kind of explosive move that can turn a quiet week into a trader’s dream.

The catalyst? Beyond Meat announced expanded distribution at Walmart and news that it is being added to the Roundhill MEME ETF. That bit of positive news was all it took to light the fuse. Short sellers panicked, buyers rushed in, and the stock skyrocketed.

Just a few days earlier in Nashville, trader JC Parets described this exact scenario on stage at the Paradigm Shift Summit. His message was simple. If you know how to spot these situations early, you can catch some of the biggest moves in the market.

Yesterday’s Beyond Meat spike was a real-time example of his thesis playing out. All it took was a small piece of good news to ignite massive buying pressure.

Parets believes the next setups could come from several sectors showing similar characteristics, including Biotech (XBI), psychedelic stocks like Mind Medicine (MNMD) and regional banks (KRE). Read on for Parets’ full thesis!
