Why are consumer technologies becoming more expensive? Why does something produced now cost more than something made 25 years ago? 🤔

It is same in #gold ..

GM 🫡. The free market is not only superior, it’s the only system that respects individual sovereignty and incentivizes innovation. Central planning destroys value, free markets allow value to flourish. #Bitcoin embodies this principle.

🟠 ¿Quién dijo que los mineros "derrochan" electricidad?

En la minería de $BTC, no hay garantía de obtener un retorno seguro como en la producción de commodities tradicionales.

Los mineros no pueden asegurar una producción futura, y los costos aumentan con la competencia.

Esto ha impulsado a muchos mineros a buscar ingresos auxiliares para mantener la rentabilidad.

Tres principales tipos de ingresos auxiliares incluyen:

🔸 Comercio de energía.

🔸 Liberación de activos atrapados.

🔸 Venta de calor residual.

En el comercio de energía, los mineros aprovechan su flexibilidad para participar en el equilibrio de la red, como lo hizo RIOT, que generó $71 millones en 2023 por venta de demanda de energía cuando la red estaba con exceso y viceversa.

Otro modelo es liberar activos atrapados.

Por ejemplo, productores petroleros pueden usar minería para reducir emisiones y generar electricidad en sitios remotos, maximizando la producción durante todo el año.

Esto se hace en el "flare gas".

La venta de calor residual es otro ingreso auxiliar.

Mineros en Finlandia ya están vendiendo calor transportado por agua a sistemas locales de calefacción distrital, generando ingresos adicionales.

La tendencia hacia ingresos auxiliares plantea un reto para los mineros "puros", quienes podrían quedar fuera de la competencia si no adoptan estos modelos.

¡Ahora ya sabes que responderle a ese amigo que sigue sosteniendo que Bitcoin "derrocha" energía!

Most importantly, #bitcoin deragulates energy markets .. to some extent ..

It doesn't matter if it is oil , gas or solar .. if the market is rigged in favor of political appeasement , industry can't attract talent and investments ..

If you don't pay upfront .. you pay through the tail 😭

Platforms and their algorithms - Facebook, TikTok, X - will do anything it takes to maximize the time you spend on them. Also, they will trick you into interacting with all sorts of (provocative) content, just to find out how you tick.

Their business model incentivizes them to collect as much data about you as they possibly can, so that they can figure out what advertisements to smash into your face in order to make money.

Those platforms aren't free. You're paying with time, energy and attention. You are being turned into their product.

#nostr is not turning you into a product. Mind the difference 💜

What is stopping #nostr clients to place advertisements ( and bots) ? And relays do sell the data !

If they don't make money , I am sure they will use algos too .. to craft your feed .. to maximize engagement..

Point in case - in the early days of twitter , there were no feed algos ..

I suspect it wont be long until there is a fresh npub with each post using an LLM so that there is no text pattern. It will just look like a new user.

Eventually each npub will have a full LLM created profile too, complete with an image icon. We won’t be able to mute or block, except to block new users.

The attacker might also fill up people’s DMs with useless messages to make DMs unusable too.

It does cost something for the attacker to maintain the attack, but they can reduce their costs by focusing it on large accounts and new users. If the attacker just focuses on new users, and makes the apps unusable for them, we might not even realize the severity of what’s going on.

Anyway, this is what I could do, and I’m assuming the attacker is more skilled than me.

We need to start putting in these defenses ahead of time, thinking like the attackers, so that we aren’t surprised by the ongoing escalations.

But there is already a super LLM ..behind every npub :-) .. and a super efficient self sustaining carbon based robot ..
