In bitcoin case probably yes, but there are other cryptocurencies, which now consume around a half of all mining electricity. It is a good example of a case where initial “AI” has some anti-paperclipping properties, but its counterfactual copies didn’t.
Wasn’t this averted by there being finite potential bitcoins, such that eventually miners only receive what the transactions are willing to pay?
