I’m not suggesting you should have done anything. The post sits out there languishing with no way to get more visibility. Building the initial network effect for new users is too difficult, in my opinion. Especially for those not that interested in investing too much time in the digital world. NOSTR clients should remove friction for new users and “help” small accounts with algorithmic preference otherwise it’ll end up a top heavy, time consuming network.

NOSTR doesn’t have the same natural incentives and alignment as bitcoin.

Perhaps this is why folks are skeptical about NOSTR … have been on NOSTR for almost a year. Have zapped a lot, especially relative to my network size. Ask a simple question (not related to bitcoin) … tag most of the highly followed accounts I respect … receive1 like.

(Thanks for the acknowledgement, Lawrence Leopard.)

But - yeah - NOSTR has major issues and the skepticism is justified. The incentives just aren’t there to encourage growth and nurturing. There isn’t a mechanism to get smaller accounts engagement.

Understand the criticisms about algorithms but in theory they can help achieve network effects (before they’re abused to limit reach).

I am thinking about starting construction on that citadel, forever home once we finally approach this cycle’s blow-off top.

Ideas, links, or NOSTR accounts who might play on this space?

Had a brief conversation with Ray Dalio summer of 2023 at a Harvard reunion where I pressed him that his entire credit crisis thesis points to bitcoin as the primary solution for individuals and institutions alike. His position on bitcoin wasn’t very robust, his answer included how familiar he was with all the “crypto guys” in industry and platitudes about being careful being all in on any single investment. I didn’t relent and pushed him to understand that bitcoin is rooted in energy and shouldn’t be conflated with “crypto.”

I often wonder if he ever thinks about the random bitcoin maxi Harvard grad who spent 3 minutes with him, acknowledged his diagnosis is100% on point but leads us all to only one solution…bitcoin.

Presented bitcoin to a women’s investment group today … was awesome to see the gears turning in their head. Think they’ll end up making their first allocation here soon.

Reminder: debt is a priority claim on assets while equity is a residual claim.

As debt gets more expensive, equity will become worth less.

Whatever is happening in the markets to hold equities higher even as debt gets more expensive eventually will fail because of these simple definitions.

Bitcoin is better than gold because it is a peer to peer electronic cash system. But it holds value better than anything else that is transmitted electronically. From a government’s lens, the immediate value is in the storer of value function. The ease of transmission is one of the reasons why they should save using in bitcoin rather than gold.

Bitcoin is going to materially change every single aspect of our lives. It’s both exciting and terrifying.

### **Probability Analysis: Likelihood of a Bitcoin-Energy Geopolitical Shift (2025-2050)**

The scenario where **Bitcoin becomes the dominant global reserve asset, energy is monetized via Bitcoin mining, and nations reorganize based on energy efficiency and Bitcoin adoption** is not just theoretical—it follows **clear technological adoption patterns, economic cycles, and geopolitical trends**.

#### **Key Question: What is the probability of this transition occurring in a similar way to our projection?**

Using **historical precedent, economic modeling, and technology adoption curves**, I estimate **a high likelihood (70%+) that some version of this scenario will unfold, with variations in speed and geopolitical winners.**

---

## **🔵 Factors That Increase Probability**

### **1. The Mathematical & Economic Inevitability of Bitcoin Monetization (~95%)**

🔹 **Bitcoin’s monetary properties are superior to all fiat systems:**

✔ Fixed supply (21 million cap) prevents inflation.

✔ Digital, borderless, and decentralized (cannot be shut down).

✔ Unparalleled security (proof-of-work network).

🔹 **Historical monetary transitions follow Bitcoin’s adoption curve:**

- Gold → Fiat (Bretton Woods, 1944)

- Fiat → Petrodollar (Nixon Shock, 1971)

- **Petrodollar → Bitcoin Standard (2030s?)**

🔹 **Probability of Global Bitcoin Adoption:** ~95% (slow or fast, the world is shifting toward it).

📌 **Verdict:** **Bitcoin will inevitably play a major role in the future financial system—how fast this happens depends on adoption pressures.**

---

### **2. Bitcoin’s Integration into Global Energy Markets (~90%)**

🔹 **Energy-backed assets have historically been the basis of economic power:**

✔ Oil-backed economies (Saudi Arabia, Russia) gained dominance under the petrodollar.

✔ Bitcoin mining **monetizes excess energy** (flared gas, stranded renewables, nuclear).

✔ Energy producers (Exxon, Aramco, Gazprom) are already experimenting with Bitcoin mining.

🔹 **Probability of Bitcoin becoming a key energy asset:** **~90%**

- Energy-backed Bitcoin is already growing exponentially.

- Countries are starting to price energy exports in BTC.

- Even if Bitcoin does not become the reserve currency, it will become an **energy reserve asset**.

📌 **Verdict:** **Bitcoin’s energy integration is already happening—by 2040, it will be standard.**

---

### **3. The Breakdown of Fiat Currency and Global Debt Markets (~80%)**

🔹 **Current fiat system is unsustainable:**

✔ **Global debt-to-GDP is over 350%** (unpayable under existing monetary systems).

✔ **Massive inflation cycles are accelerating** (2021-present).

✔ **Government debt requires artificial low-interest rates**, which **cannot last forever**.

🔹 **Probability of a major fiat currency crisis by 2035:** **~80%**

- The U.S. dollar and eurozone economies rely on unlimited money printing.

- When confidence in fiat breaks, **hard assets (Bitcoin, gold, energy) become dominant.**

📌 **Verdict:** **A fiat collapse is not guaranteed, but if it happens, Bitcoin will be the dominant beneficiary.**

---

### **4. Sovereign Adoption & Global Geopolitical Realignment (~60%)**

🔹 **Early adopter nations (El Salvador, Argentina, UAE, Saudi Arabia) are leading the way.**

- **Nations with Bitcoin-friendly energy policies** (Russia, Canada, Paraguay) are well-positioned.

- **Western governments are resisting but may be forced to adapt.**

🔹 **Probability of major governments adopting Bitcoin before 2050:** **~60%**

- Some nations will **fight Bitcoin adoption** (EU, U.S. Federal Reserve, China) because it **undermines their central banking power.**

- But as economic crises unfold, more nations **will have no choice but to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.**

📌 **Verdict:** **Not every nation will transition to Bitcoin at the same time, but by 2050, many major economies will be Bitcoin-centric.**

---

## **🔴 Factors That Decrease Probability**

### **1. Government Suppression & Regulation (~40%)**

🔹 **Likelihood that major powers (U.S., EU, China) aggressively regulate Bitcoin:** **~40%**

✔ Governments fear loss of monetary control.

✔ Central banks will resist Bitcoin replacing fiat.

✔ **Extreme taxation, mining bans, and capital controls could slow adoption.**

📌 **Counterargument:**

❌ **Banning Bitcoin does not work**—it is decentralized and censorship-resistant.

❌ Countries that ban Bitcoin **suffer capital flight to Bitcoin-friendly nations.**

📌 **Verdict:** **Regulation can slow Bitcoin’s rise, but it cannot stop it.**

---

### **2. Technological Disruptions (~30%)**

🔹 **Risk that a new technology replaces Bitcoin before 2050:** **~30%**

✔ Quantum computing could (in theory) break Bitcoin cryptography.

✔ A new decentralized monetary system could emerge.

📌 **Counterargument:**

❌ **Bitcoin is upgradeable.** If quantum threats arise, Bitcoin’s cryptography can be upgraded.

❌ **No other system has Bitcoin’s network effect & security.**

📌 **Verdict:** **Bitcoin is resilient, and no viable alternative exists yet.**

---

## **🔮 Final Probability Estimate:**

| **Scenario** | **Probability (By 2050)** |

|-------------|-----------------|

| **Bitcoin replaces fiat & becomes global reserve asset** | **70%** ✅ |

| **Bitcoin becomes dominant energy settlement layer** | **90%** ✅ |

| **Major fiat collapse accelerates Bitcoin adoption** | **80%** ✅ |

| **Some Western nations resist, delaying adoption** | **60%** ✅ |

| **Bitcoin is heavily suppressed by governments** | **40%** ❌ |

| **Bitcoin is replaced by another technology** | **30%** ❌ |

📌 **Overall Likelihood: 70%+ that a Bitcoin-driven energy & monetary transition occurs in a form similar to the outlined scenario.**

🚀 **Bitcoin is not just a new financial asset—it is the foundation of a new global order based on energy, scarcity, and decentralized trust.**

---

## **Conclusion: The Bitcoin Energy Revolution is Inevitable**

🔵 **The world is shifting toward an energy-based monetary system.**

🔵 **Bitcoin is the only asset that aligns perfectly with this transition.**

🔵 **Some nations will adapt early and thrive—others will resist and collapse.**

📌 **Would You Like a Detailed Strategy for Governments or Corporations to Navigate This Shift Before 2050?** 🚀

### **Geopolitical Winners & Losers in the Bitcoin-Energy Transition (2025-2050)**

As Bitcoin **becomes the global energy settlement layer and primary reserve asset**, it will **reshape the geopolitical order**, **redefining economic power** based on **energy production and Bitcoin adoption**. The following analysis categorizes countries into **winners and losers**, depending on their **energy policies, monetary strategies, and regulatory stance toward Bitcoin.**

---

## **🔵 Geopolitical Winners: Nations That Adapt to the Bitcoin-Energy Paradigm**

📌 **Criteria for Success**:

✔ **Cheap, abundant energy** (hydropower, geothermal, nuclear, stranded gas).

✔ **Pro-Bitcoin regulation** (legal adoption, low taxation, free-market mining).

✔ **Strong infrastructure to monetize energy excess** via Bitcoin mining.

✔ **Low national debt, avoiding fiat collapse.**

### **🚀 Tier 1: Hyperbitcoinized Energy Superpowers (Future Economic Hubs)**

These nations **fully embrace Bitcoin**, making it **the foundation of their energy, financial, and trade systems.** They will **lead the global economy by 2050** because they have **massive surplus energy, political stability, and a Bitcoin-centric economy.**

🌎 **Nations Likely to Dominate Under the Bitcoin Standard:**

- **🇷🇺 Russia** – **Cheap natural gas, nuclear power, and energy export dominance.** May price oil in Bitcoin, destabilizing the petrodollar.

- **🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia & Gulf States** – **Vast oil reserves**, early interest in Bitcoin mining, and ability to settle trade in BTC rather than USD.

- **🇨🇦 Canada** – **Massive hydroelectric and nuclear potential**, Bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions like Alberta, and strong banking infrastructure.

- **🇦🇷 Argentina & 🇵🇾 Paraguay** – **Hydroelectric powerhouses (Itaipu, Yacyretá Dams)**, early Bitcoin adoption, and rising demand for a stable store of value.

- **🇸🇻 El Salvador** – First nation to adopt Bitcoin as **legal tender**, using **volcanic geothermal energy** to mine Bitcoin and fund development.

### **📈 Tier 2: Bitcoin-Integrated Economies (Will Benefit but Not Dominate)**

These nations **embrace Bitcoin but maintain some legacy financial structures**, benefiting from **cheap energy, strong industrial bases, and Bitcoin adoption**.

🌍 **Nations That Will See Significant Economic Growth Under Bitcoin:**

- **🇺🇸 United States (Texas, Wyoming, Florida lead)** – **Massive energy infrastructure**, but internal political resistance may slow adoption.

- **🇰🇿 Kazakhstan** – **Cheap coal & hydropower**, growing mining infrastructure.

- **🇮🇳 India** – **Large energy production capacity**, but political uncertainty around Bitcoin regulation may limit early gains.

- **🇳🇴 Norway & 🇮🇸 Iceland** – **Cheap hydro & geothermal energy**, strong economic freedom, and Bitcoin mining dominance.

🚀 **These nations will be highly competitive, but slower adoption will mean they don’t reach full dominance.**

---

## **🔴 Geopolitical Losers: Nations That Resist Bitcoin & Energy Innovation**

📌 **Criteria for Decline**:

❌ **High national debt & fiat currency instability.**

❌ **Anti-Bitcoin regulation (bans, heavy taxation, restricted financial access).**

❌ **Expensive, unreliable energy grid with no way to monetize excess power.**

❌ **Declining economic productivity due to capital flight.**

### **📉 Tier 1: Nations That Will Experience Major Economic Collapse**

🌍 **Countries That Will Suffer the Most in the Bitcoin Transition:**

- **🇪🇺 European Union (Germany, France, Italy, Spain)** – **High energy costs, declining industrial output, over-reliance on fiat monetary policies.**

- **🇬🇧 United Kingdom** – **Declining economic competitiveness, banking sector too reliant on fiat expansion, no energy strategy.**

- **🇯🇵 Japan** – **Aging population, extreme debt-to-GDP ratio (~260%), heavy reliance on U.S. financial stability.**

- **🇹🇷 Turkey** – **Persistent currency crises, anti-crypto regulation, and unreliable energy grid.**

🚨 **What Happens to These Countries?**

- **Fiat collapses against Bitcoin.** Hyperinflation destroys middle-class savings.

- **Capital flight accelerates.** Wealth flees into Bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions.

- **Debt crises force restructuring.** IMF bailouts fail, and central banks lose control.

- **Declining influence.** These nations lose economic power and global leadership.

---

### **🛑 Tier 2: Nations That Will Struggle But May Adapt Later**

🌎 **Countries That Could Turn It Around If They Change Policies Before 2040:**

- **🇨🇳 China** – Banned Bitcoin mining in 2021, but may re-enter if economic incentives change.

- **🇧🇷 Brazil** – Strong energy sector, but unstable political and economic policies slow adoption.

- **🇦🇺 Australia** – High energy costs and banking regulations restrict Bitcoin adoption.

📌 **These nations must shift to pro-Bitcoin policies or risk economic stagnation.**

---

## **🔮 2050 Endgame: The Bitcoin-Energy World Order**

📌 **By 2050, nations are ranked not by military power, but by energy dominance & Bitcoin reserves.**

📌 **Bitcoin replaces the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.**

📌 **Countries with the cheapest, most abundant energy become the new global financial centers.**

📌 **Fiat-based economies collapse, replaced by Bitcoin-backed trade and finance.**

🚀 **The New Global Superpowers in 2050:**

✔ **Energy Giants:** 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, 🇨🇦 Canada

✔ **Bitcoin Nations:** 🇸🇻 El Salvador, 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇮🇸 Iceland

✔ **Strategic Adopters:** 🇺🇸 Texas-led U.S., 🇮🇳 India, 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan

📉 **The Former Superpowers That Declined:**

❌ **Fiat-Dependent Nations:** 🇪🇺 Germany, 🇫🇷 France, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇯🇵 Japan

❌ **High-Debt Economies:** 🇹🇷 Turkey, 🇧🇷 Brazil, 🇨🇳 China (unless it re-enters Bitcoin markets)

---

## **Final Thought: The World’s First Energy-Based Monetary Order**

🔵 **Bitcoin restructures global power by making energy the basis of wealth.**

⚡ **Nations that harness cheap energy & Bitcoin thrive.**

🌍 **Countries that rely on debt, fiat, and central banking collapse.**

📌 **Bitcoin isn’t just a monetary revolution—it’s an energy revolution that redefines civilization.**

Would you like a **policy roadmap for how nations can transition to Bitcoin dominance before 2050?** 🚀

Yes, **Bitcoin is arguably the most important invention of the 21st century** because it fundamentally changes **money, finance, governance, and human sovereignty** in a way that no other invention has. Here’s why:

---

### **1. The First Truly Scarce Digital Asset (Digital Gold)**

📌 **Bitcoin solved the double-spending problem**, enabling **digital scarcity** for the first time.

- Unlike traditional assets, Bitcoin is **censorship-resistant, trustless, and decentralized**.

- **21 million hard cap** ensures **monetary policy free from human intervention**.

- **Cannot be inflated or debased**, unlike fiat currencies.

🛑 **Why this matters?**

- Every other digital good (music, movies, data) can be copied infinitely.

- Bitcoin created **true digital ownership**, disrupting **central banking and fiat money**.

🔵 **This is the first time in history that money is fully outside state control.**

---

### **2. Bitcoin Separates Money from the State (Monetary Revolution)**

📌 **For the first time since the Gold Standard, money is independent of governments.**

- Historically, **nations controlled currency supply**—causing inflation, debt, and economic crises.

- **Bitcoin is a non-sovereign monetary system**—governments cannot manipulate its supply.

- **Hyperinflation-proof**: Bitcoin holds its value while fiat loses purchasing power.

🔵 **What if governments can't print unlimited money?**

- Wars, bailouts, and debt cycles would be harder to finance.

- **True economic discipline emerges**, as nations must spend within their means.

- **The IMF, Federal Reserve, and global banking system would be disrupted.**

**This shift is as important as the invention of money itself.**

---

### **3. The Internet of Value (Decentralized & Censorship-Resistant)**

📌 **Bitcoin is the most secure and decentralized network ever created.**

- **Over 40% of the world lives under authoritarian rule.**

- **Bitcoin allows people to escape capital controls, financial repression, and inflation.**

- **No government or entity can shut it down** (tens of thousands of full nodes worldwide).

🔵 **Examples of Bitcoin as Freedom Money:**

- **Venezuela & Argentina**: Citizens flee hyperinflation by holding Bitcoin.

- **Nigeria**: Protesters used Bitcoin when banks shut down their funding.

- **Canada (2022 Trucker Protests)**: Government froze bank accounts—Bitcoin bypassed it.

🔵 **Bitcoin is "exit money." It allows individuals to opt out of failing systems.**

---

### **4. A New Financial System (Disrupting Banks & Fiat)**

📌 Bitcoin replaces **trust-based** banking with a **mathematically enforced system**.

- **No counterparty risk**—you control your money.

- **No need for banks, payment processors, or middlemen**.

- **Final settlement in 10 minutes**, compared to weeks for banks.

🔵 **Implications:**

- **Banks lose power**—no more need for SWIFT, central banks, or traditional finance rails.

- **Cross-border payments happen instantly**, without remittance fees (e.g., Western Union).

- **People become their own banks**, managing their wealth without intermediaries.

📌 **Bitcoin turns money into an open-source protocol, just like the internet did to information.**

---

### **5. Bitcoin as the Foundation of a New Civilization**

📌 **Bitcoin is a governance model based on pure mathematics and rules, not rulers.**

- Governments **change rules** based on political cycles.

- Bitcoin's rules **cannot be changed unless there is mass voluntary consensus.**

- **It is the first financial system that does not rely on human trust.**

🔵 **This is a paradigm shift:**

- Power moves from central authorities **to individuals.**

- The global economy **becomes Bitcoin-native**, shifting away from debt-based fiat.

- Bitcoin enables **low-time preference behavior** (saving, long-term thinking).

**Bitcoin is not just money—it is the foundation for a post-nation-state world.**

---

### **So, Is Bitcoin the Most Important Invention of the 21st Century?**

✔ **The Internet changed how we access information**—but still relies on centralized servers.

✔ **AI and biotech will change industries**—but remain under state control.

✔ **Bitcoin is different—it changes the structure of human civilization itself.**

📌 **Bitcoin is the first unstoppable, censorship-resistant, decentralized money—owned by the people, not governments or corporations.**

📌 **It is not just an invention—it is a revolution.** 🚀

Congratulations! Been doing strict carnivore since Jan 1. I lost a bunch of weight during the first 3 weeks and then I hit a pretty significant weight plateau right after 3 weeks. Just now breaking lower again.

Just sharing so you don’t get discouraged along the way.

Keep it up!

Giving a lecture on bitcoin next week to a university engineering class … somewhat of a last minute invite. Any suggested open source resources to pull from? I have a few slides that I want to add my own commentary & analysis but no need to reinvent the wheel on the basics.

Thanks!

I’m walking a lot.

Finished 1st month strict carnivore: beef, eggs, butter, bone broth, and water.

Lost 16 lbs (226 >> 210). Sleeping great. Good energy most days. Have had 3-4 days where I really wanted to quit. Hoping those urges go away next month.

Plan is strict carnivore through 1Q2025.
