""Bitcoin has no use case"" is the dumbest take in finance.
Beyond simply being a viable money, of which Bitcoin is king, let me show you in detail what Bitcoin does in meat space through Bitcoin mining:
1. Grid Balancing
Bitcoin miners are interruptible load. When energy demand spikes, they shut off instantly, stabilizing the grid.
Texas uses miners as ""demand response"" to prevent blackouts. They're paid to turn OFF during peak demand.
That's not waste. That's infrastructure.
2. Monetizing Stranded Energy
Renewable energy often gets built where transmission infrastructure doesn't exist yet (remote wind/hydro).
Bitcoin miners set up on-site, monetizing energy that would otherwise be curtailed (wasted).
This subsidizes renewable build-out.
3. Capturing Flared Gas
Oil fields flare ~140 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually because there's no pipeline to capture it.
Bitcoin miners use portable containers to capture that gas, mine Bitcoin, and turn waste methane (terrible for climate) into revenue.
4. Industrial Heat Recovery
Mining generates heat. Instead of venting it:
• Greenhouses use it to grow food year-round
• Lumber companies use it for kiln drying
• Fish farms use it for aquaculture heating
• Buildings use it for district heating
Waste heat → productive output.
5. Enabling Energy Infrastructure
Energy companies can now justify building transmission lines to remote areas because miners provide guaranteed demand before population arrives.
Once infrastructure exists, other industries follow.
Bitcoin bootstraps energy access.
6. Landfill Methane Capture
Landfills produce methane (84x worse than CO2 for warming).
Bitcoin miners partner with landfills to capture methane, mine Bitcoin, and prevent greenhouse emissions.
Literally turning trash into treasure while helping the environment.
Bitcoin mining is one of the most useful demand-side energy technologies ever invented.
It balances grids, monetizes waste, subsidizes renewables, and captures emissions.
""No use case"" is cope from people who don't understand energy markets."
How Bullish are you?
I’m so bullish that a “down” year in Bitcoin has gotten me more excited than any up year up to this point.
People have no idea what’s coming and its going to melt faces.

“Bitcoin has no use case”
Meanwhile Bitcoin is:
- balancing electric grids during low-demand hours
- monetizing stranded/flared natural gas
- subsidizing renewable energy buildout
- providing industrial heat for greenhouses, lumber drying, fish farms
- enabling energy infrastructure in remote areas
- turning waste methane into revenue

Opt out and study Bitcoin!
How Bitcoin embodies the core principles of classical liberalism as outlined in Ludwig von Mises' "Liberalism" (1927).
The parallels are striking and show how Satoshi may have created the most Austrian money ever conceived.
Mises argued that true liberalism rests on private property rights as the foundation of civilization. Bitcoin takes this further - it's the first form of money that is truly, mathematically private property. No government can print more, seize it easily, or devalue it through inflation.
"The program of liberalism is: property, freedom, peace" - Mises. Bitcoin delivers on all three: absolute property rights through cryptography, freedom from monetary authorities, and peace through removing the state's ability to fund wars via money printing.
Mises emphasized that sound money is essential for economic calculation and rational decision-making. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins creates the ultimate sound money - immune to political manipulation and central bank interference.
On government intervention, Mises warned that each intervention creates problems requiring more interventions. Bitcoin sidesteps this entirely by being permissionless and decentralized - no central authority exists to "intervene" in the first place.
Mises believed that free markets naturally tend toward peace because trade creates mutual benefit. Bitcoin creates a global, borderless market for value transfer that operates 24/7 regardless of political tensions or trade wars.
"Liberalism is rationalist" - Mises valued logical consistency over emotion. Bitcoin's protocol is pure rationality encoded in math - it doesn't care about politics, emotions, or special interests. It simply executes the rules as programmed.
Mises argued that capitalism and private ownership lead to the most efficient allocation of resources. Bitcoin's proof-of-work mining creates the most efficient network security system, where resources naturally flow to the most productive miners.
On individual liberty: Mises saw economic freedom as inseparable from personal freedom. Bitcoin gives individuals complete control over their wealth - no bank holidays, capital controls, or frozen accounts. Your keys, your coins, your freedom.
Mises warned against the dangers of socialism and central planning. Bitcoin is the antithesis of central planning - it's a spontaneous order emerging from millions of individual decisions, creating a robust, self-organizing system.
"The gold standard is the only honest money" - Mises understood that hard money prevents government overreach. Bitcoin improves on gold by being perfectly scarce, instantly transferable globally, and impossible to confiscate through force.
Mises concluded that liberalism offers the only path to human prosperity and peace. Nearly a century later, Bitcoin provides the monetary foundation for his vision - a tool for individual sovereignty that no state can control or corrupt.
