It’s kinda crazy that we just drive on the roads trusting every single other person driving not to do something stupid and kill us

“Markets decide what is valuable…I don’t want a central planning committee to say what is and isn’t valuable…what bothers me is the presumption behind the question that someone is in a position to make that judgment other than us collectively…” - @thetrocro

This is a fantastic point, and it applies to religions as much as it does to energy (the context in which Troy spoke it yesterday at the @btcpolicyorg Summit.)

The overwhelming majority of people who have ever lived have believed (and still today continue to believe) in divine entities and have found religions vitally important tools in understanding and navigating the world. Those religions that are the largest ought to provoke curiosity, especially on the part of those who don’t subscribe to them, on the grounds that they are market bound phenomena. This especially applies to those religions that have most grown as a result of and that most prioritize socially constructive free market virtues such as:

- passionate and rational debate over ideas in a search for truth

- high prioritization of personal integrity/piety

- self-sacrificial love of one’s neighbors, including the weak and those who cannot defend themselves

- high emphasis on and pursuit of impartial justice

- low time-preference action

- peaceful non-coercive proselytization

With all of those factors in view, the results over the past two thousand years are pretty definitive.

anything good we can fast follow from bluesky?

Can we get a moment of silence for everyone who passed up $15k #bitcoin trying to snipe $12k?

Most are just parroting what they’re told. Others know, but are complicit in the narrative. Bitcoin bad remember?

Brad Jones, former CEO ERCOT just confirmed that Bitcoin mining

· Makes renewable operators more profitable

· Accelerates the renewable transition

· Does not compete with other users of electricity

· Drives electricity costs for all users DOWN

As an expert on grids who's seen Bitcoin mining on grids firsthand, he's the person most qualified to make an objective assessment

Here’s what he said:

Bitcoin mining makes renewable operators more profitable

“In the last 2 years there was 1100 hours of negative pricing. That means we are paying consumers to consume electricity.

The reason that occurs is that we have a lot of renewables in the State. When the wind is really blowing, we simply can’t use all that power.

Bitcoin allows those renewables to earn money during those times rather than having to shut off their service, or even having to pay customers to use their power.”

Bitcoin mining assists the renewable transition

“Bitcoin mining helps to sustain those markets for renewables and drives more renewables.”

Bitcoin does not compete with other users of electricity

“And then when prices go up [because many people want power at the same time], Bitcoin comes offline because its not economical.”

Bitcoin drives the cost of electricity for all consumers DOWN

“The real value of Bitcoin is its flexibility. The capability for us to use it in our ancillary services at the lowest possible cost means cost for all consumers of in the state of Texas.”

Nothing but pure signal.

I’ve learnt over the years, never underestimate a bitcoiner. We see the world for what it is and are fiercely protective of a positive future.

It’s the most ineffective waste of tax money. We pay leeches to do nothing but try and game the system they create and to enrich themselves. The seek only to live off the people the lord over and enslave the people more, day by day.

There is nothing that is public sector that runs better than the private. Woke pandering bullshit and horrible lawlessness now plagues our once great nation. Lies, deception, and death are the fruits of government.

Long has the hour been since a real reminder has been sent to our supposed “representatives”. We use to start wars for less. Our government certainly has.

I wish only that public gallows were set in every capital as a reminder of where government officials who turn on their nations and citizens can find themselves. Only I know they would corrupt that as well and use it for their enemies and power.

The second amendment must never die. It is not for hunting or self defense. It is for the people vs the government.

How may I provide you value this fine evening, or morning, or afternoon, or wherever you may be?
