As for other fiat service and stablecoin, i would guess it's because probably Visa know some users only care about make payment or sending fiat (or it's equivalent) to another user at low fee or high convenience. Other fiat service might offer lower fee, while stablecoin on altcoin network have very low TX fee.

I am still a little bit confused with the fee and convenience factor, as the dashboard is only giving the stats about overall volume, or is it? Like the comparison of fees as well. Well, users definitely prefer lower fees and high convenience, they tend to easiness. They will adopt it and leave the other. I thought they made this dashboard to show people and users that they have got more volume, they are being used mostly than other platforms.

Speaking of the tx fee, I think it's not the only factor that's been considered by users, as alts needed to be integrated as payment methods in their sites, or platforms where the customers want, and it's a little hard, while implementation of Visa is more easier and many users considered it because there are fewer people using crypto and more people using fiat. Overall, this fee thing did not make sense to me, if you could please shed more light on it.

Their first project is to defend the founders of Samourai Wallet, which may not give a good impression, especially to legal authorities that can be influenced.

I also worried about that, especially when the founder advertise their service to avoid sanction. There are other less controversial case they could take, such as defending Uniswap for SEC sue.

There is nothing controversial about raising funds to defend somebody in court. In fact, even sanctioned funds can be used to pay for lawyers and other legal expenses that the people controlling said funds happen to be in (at least in the United States).

COPA made a huge fuss about funding Hodlonaut when Craig Wright was trying to sue him into oblivion and look at the result. It was worth it, no?

CMIIW, but doesn't AI trend only use enterprise GPU? That means miner could go after non-enterprise GPU.

Large AI companies' data centers use Nvidia enterprise GPUs that cost tens of thousands of $, such as the H100 Tensor Core which costs $40K. Of course, these GPUs are not in the sights of crypto miners, or at least I have never known anyone to use enterprise GPUs for their mining farms.

However, the demand for AI comes not only from large companies, but also from ordinary users. For example, the Nvidia GeForce RTX is popular for computers focused on AI features for users, which can deplete the supply of GPUs on the market and drive up GPU prices and increase miners costs.
