Experts are talking about a cunning trap awaiting investors in 2040: a severe shortage of copper, which has become a raw material without which no technological breakthroughs are possible. The simple reason is that by 2040, demand for this metal will skyrocket. Artificial intelligence and giant data centers will require it in colossal volumes: copper is needed everywhere — from servers to complex cooling systems. Simultaneously, the electric vehicle revolution and the transition to renewable energy (wind turbines and solar panels) will create additional shortages of wiring, transformers, and electrical equipment.



This results in an interesting picture: while the crypto community watches BTC fluctuations and catches hype on tokens, the real future seems to be built on modest copper cables and components. The market clearly underestimates the importance of this unnoticed metal, which will become a limiting factor for the entire green transformation of the planet. Investors focused on crypto speculation may miss a more reliable growth story hidden in the production and logistics of ordinary copper.
