Stefan Kern knows whether Bitcoin miners will go bankrupt after the halving and whether it will even be worth mining in the future. With his company Bitkern, he provides the infrastructure necessary to operate the corresponding data centers.
Bitcoin Halving: Will everything be different this time?

As much as Kern acknowledges that there have been certain rules regarding halving so far, he also urges caution. Each halving has its own dynamics and is exposed to different external factors, as the Bitcoin ETFs have recently shown.

He also sees an increasing relevance of transaction fees compared to the block reward. He is therefore open to new use cases such as ordinals.
He also sees new business models emerging for Bitcoin miners. Be it in the area of artificial intelligence or as a regulating element in power grids.
