If every household on earth would run a #bitaxe we would more than double current #bitcoin network hashrate (2B x 400GH/s). It may seem unrealistic now, but it might catch on. The amount of decentralization gained from the incentive to communally secure our monetary network would be significant. The individual power to mine will likely stay relatively in ratio to the expansion of industrial mining. View quoted note →

The word nature is misleading. It suggests there is a distinct separateness of substance. We haven't been able to prove this separateness, and I suspect we will never be able to prove it. If you research is based on the assumption of separateness you're dealing with a really big if.
Ads for teaching people how to use AI 🤷♂️
You can ask chatgpt how to use it for your own cause. 🥴 For free 🤯 and it will tell you everything it knows so you won't need to pay anyone to learn how to use it.
Don't be mad when AI figures out a way to get your seed phrase after you wrote it down on a piece of paper but spoke it out word for word near a device listening to and recording every breath you take.

There is approximately $2T worth of stranded energy worldwide that you can acquire for $0.00/kWh, that means there is $2T worth of #bitcoin you can acquire for free if you're willing to secure the network with POW.
Did he say there would be signs? #Bitcoin

The security budget of #Bitcoin will be a result of efficiency coming to the energy market.
In the industry of electricity generation while monetizing the stranded energy with #Bitcoin mining, Bitcoin is a residual product. This incentivizes harmonic efficiency, because the energy production becomes economically anti-fragile and the Bitcoin security is done free of charge because the Bitcoin revenue is residual. This virtuous cycle enforces the bottom price of Bitcoin because there is never any necessity for liquidation.
Two dimensional units of measurement such as kilometers or light years may seem obvious, but those are constructs. Nothing is ever at equal distance. We just haven't found a way to measure this properly yet because we insist on lineair conception. The relative discrepancy may be trivial, but the consequences for scientific thought should not be ignored.
I read this book by David Bohm. I think it's essential reading for anyone with an open mind. 

I love this book by @GadSaad not just because it is fun to read, also because Saad has outrageous ideas that I think are great. I recommend you read it. 

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.”

I don't know anyone who can concisely articulate more than 6 properties of money, or more than 7 value propositions of #Bitcoin that are still against it in some way.
It's just maffs.
There will never be a transaction of fair value for #Bitcoin in any currency. That would be an oxymoron.
Fiscal dominance? What's an ASIC? 

Very few people understand #Bitcoin, even less people understand Bitcoin mining and even less people understand both and are willing to start a mining company.
This while the Bitcoin mining market is trillions of dollars bigger than is currently addressed by existing mining companies.
It might make sense just to monetize some stranded energy in case it catches on.
Investors: How to become rich in dollar denominated terms.
Bitcoiners: Investors suffer from a denominator bias.
