It's not jerky. Jerky has sugar, soy, tenderizers, and a paragraph of ingredients. This is beef and salt. Dried with miners. Different category entirely.

Finnish beef comes with stricter animal welfare and feed standards than most of Europe, which matters when the only other ingredient is salt, because with two ingredients there is nowhere for a substandard source to hide. Sourced by Kotitila in Finland @BTC Butcher

If you have spent serious time understanding why central banks cannot be trusted to manage money well, you have already done most of the intellectual work needed to understand why the food industry cannot be trusted to tell you what to eat.

Each batch of Bitcoin Beef Bits is stamped with the Bitcoin block height at time of production.

Proof-of-beef in person. @Luke de Wolf is at Bitcoin Copenhagen (BTCCPH) this weekend with some Bitcoin Beef Bits. Pass by and say hi 🥩⚡

No additives. No optimization theater. No labels reassuring you it's fine. Just beef and salt. Some problems are already solved. www.bitcoinbeefbits.com

Meet our new advisor, @Luke de Wolf! He'll be at Bitcoin Copenhagen (BTCCPH) this Saturday with some beef bits. Come and say hi!

The word salary comes from salt. Roman soldiers were paid in salt (salarium) and marched on salsamentum, salted preserved meat that lasted weeks. We dry ours with Bitcoin miner heat in Finland. Same principle. Different century.

Our @BTC Butcher has run Kotitila since 2012, sources Finnish grass-fed beef from small domestic slaughterhouses, and makes the same product he would want to eat himself, which is why it ends up with two ingredients and nothing on the label that needs explaining.

Why does every "keto snack" need 14 ingredients? Beef doesn't need rescuing. It doesn't need flavoring, tenderizing, or preserving. It needs heat and salt. That's the whole job. Everything else on the label is there to cover for the source material.

Ancel Keys did a study titled the Seven Countries Study in 1955 where he presented his hypothesis, diets low in animal fat protected against heart disease and that a diet high in animal fats led to heart disease. Keys started with twenty-two countries and selected seven. The fifteen he excluded include France and West Germany, countries with high-fat diets and low heart disease rates. They contradicted the hypothesis so they weren't in the study. This study became the definitive citation in official dietary recommendations for the next forty years, telling people to avoid saturated fat. We're still living in the aftermath. Low-fat everything. Seed oils. A food pyramid built on omissions and lies.

Every shortcut in this business has been available since day one. Add preservatives and ship globally. Use a commercial dryer for larger batches. Add sugar for the mass market. Every one of those options was looked at and turned down. Not because it couldn't be done. Because doing it meant adding something at the cost of quality, and that's where the line is.

Sugar is in most commercial jerky to extend shelf life and hit the sweet taste palate that mainstream consumers expect, and if you have been eating jerky your whole life thinking it was a savory product, check the label because it is closer to candy than it looks.

Sound money. Simple food. The same instinct that rejects inflation in your wallet tends to reject additives in your food. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

About 5,000 years before Bitcoin Beef Bits, the Sumerians were preserving meat with salt and sun between the Tigris and Euphrates, and the clay tablets they left behind include some of the earliest food preservation instructions ever recorded by anyone. Five thousand years later, the principle is exactly the same. We swapped the Mesopotamian sun for Bitcoin miner heat, but the principle hasn't changed. Only the heat source has. ☀️⚡

Keto asks: is it low-carb enough? Carnivore asks: is it animal-based? Beef Bits answers both. Beef and salt. Zero carbs. Zero additives. No thinking required.

The whole thing started when a guy with a miner walked into Kotitila, the butcher shop in Helsinki where @BTC Butcher has been sourcing and working with Finnish beef for years, and realized the heat coming off the ASIC miner was the right temperature for drying meat.

GM! The same institutions that managed monetary policy for fifty years also set the dietary guidelines, and both turned out to be shaped less by the available evidence and more by who was funding the research and who benefited from the recommendations.

GM! This is for the person who flips every package over to read the ingredients before deciding, because you already understand that what's on the label is the only honest part of most products and the front is just advertising.
