I'm not sure of the source (as I'm not the parent), but I wouldn't classify crypto farms as "datacenters". They have very low needs in terms of bandwidth and reliability. Many of them are barns on consumer ISP connections filled with bare mobos sitting on pieces of cardboard, or other similar arrangements that are presumably OK given the economics of crypto, but wouldn't be sellable even as cloud compute for most purposes in the current market (it might be OK for batch-type stuff that doesn't involve tons of transfer -- some kinds of scientific workloads like Folding@Home maybe?).
