Drop out of the University ASAP and get a job at McDonald’s to DCA #bitcoin. At 0.03% adoption nothing else matters.

Put energy into building the new things, changing the old is much harder.

Inertia is a bitch.

Finally. Orlando. Driving this long ain’t fun

Lol. You misinformed. There have already been numerous incidents on the border of the Himalayas. They have big problems when it comes to boundary boundaries. There was even an exchange of gunfire. So, the alignment between the two countries is very complicated, especially if the BRICS want to have some relevance.

In certain macro circles, so many people (especially >50 y/o) are big into the idea of a gold-backed BRICS currency and how it'll subvert the dollar and moon the price of gold.

And while there's some truth to it directionally over a certain time frame (e.g. Zoltan Pozsar's "Bretton Woods 3.0" theme, and BRICS nations really are trying to de-dollarize or at least diversify their payments and savings exposure to varying degrees), it's clearly a weak solution in the long run.

Bretton Woods failed within like 12 years of being fully implemented. Why? Because the proliferation of IOUs was not constrained, but the underlying metal was.

And that was with America being a hyperpower. A bunch of separate BRICS nations, some of which don't even like each other much (e.g. China and India), putting together some coalition is shaky form the start. Who will trust the audits of how much gold or commodities they have in their reserves?

In the intermediate term, it does make sense for BRICS countries to route payments through other systems, such as the New Development Bank (formerly known as the BRICS Development Bank) or through various bilateral swaps. But the longevity of such a model is dubious.

Bitcoin is too small at the present time to serve as solution for this scale of global trade, but in the long arc of time it seems a far more obvious solution for global payments and reserves.

🚨 IF YOU ARE RECOMMENDING WALLET OF SATOSHI YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM 🚨

It's just as easy to recommend Muun, Phoenix or Breez and start people with self-custody.

Do we really have to push people to Wallet of Satoshi so they can be rugged in the future?

WE CAN DO BETTER

I know, I’m looking for clever ways people repurpose the heat that I haven’t seen before

Brainstorm session:

Coming up with funky ways to use ASICs outside of solely mining purposes would be very beneficial for further decentralizing mining. Jack mentioned on Money Matters they’re looking into space heaters that would essentially be space heaters that pay for themselves. Another idea I’ve thought of for a while and have seen others mention is gym equipment that powers miners, you get a gym membership that pays for itself and possibly profits. I’ve seen other people use to heat greenhouses, hot water heaters, and even heat their entire home.

I’m curious to know what other weird, out of the box purposes people have seen work or ideas people have thought of. Incubators? Clothes dryers? Saunas? Cooking/heating food?

It's your own, dedicated, private relay

Gm,

There are actually people out there paying for a blue check when they could get their own freedom relay for the same price.
