I am reading the new BlackRock report like a fiat cuck and Larry makes a good point: we need to democratise investment. Public projects like ports, roads and energy infrastructure are often reserved for private investment from banks and governments.
This got me thinking. Could we use tools like nostr:nprofile1qqs8p3ywfd92w7zvjgy7wrpylz8t30hy3z5dc5al4070l9y8qr8rejcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctc0reyhh to fund public infrastructure? Could we crowd-fund SMRs in the U.K. and the adjacent bitcoin mining and heat-capture infrastructure?
Cool! I'll make sure I have one ready so that I can post straight away.
Happy Birthday!
When will we know more?

So I am my own mint?
A few months ago I used nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 as a platform to raise money for a charity called the Turing Trust. The concept was simple: buy a node and support their work sending computers to school kids in Malawi. We raised and donated over £2000! At the end of the fundraiser I was disappointed that the Turing Trust wanted the donation in fiat... 😞
The initiative had an impact however and after receiving the fiat donation (and watching the bitcoin price rip to 100k) the Turing Trust have now agreed to accept and HODL bitcoin as payment for the computers from now on. I have now started selling affordable and high quality nodes for U.K. plebs on nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd . 🚀
⭐ £210 for a plug-and-play 2tb Start 9 node with 16gb RAM. Discreet shipping and no import taxes. 10% of every sale goes to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll and 10% goes to the Turing Trust. ⭐

They dont have HEAPS of machines to sell, so there is limited availability as and when I get deliveries. 📦
My long-term ambition is to work with the Turing Trust to get computers to nostr:npub17cyatz6z2dzcw6xehtcm9z45m76lde5smxdmyasvs00r4pqv863qrs4ml3 projects in Kenya, Malawi and Tanzania such as nostr:npub1hn2tyd9284u5a3h75mkemkfu6nt9y23j685646wwm34dte38c43sx7zppr 's nostr:npub1ghhhgrrlqkekma85tgpy6wauczlt9m4gtdnyqt7a49jx2e3p0hwsrmvnj2. God willing I can make it happen! 🙏
I know that the Turing Trust will benefit from the appreciation of the bitcoin raised with every sale, enabling them to continue their work.
I am going to Edinburgh in May for a friend's wedding and plan on going to check out the Turing Trust's warehouse and meet all the people I have been in communication with to make this happen. I will get some photographs and video to share on Nostr... 📹 📷

Would be nice to see GameStop do more than just stick it on the balance sheet. They could announce BTC is now the preferred method of exchange in 4,000+ stores, Bitcoin ATMs in every location, in-store sessions teaching self-custody, selling hardware wallets & building custom nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl.

Really we need some physical bitcoin stores with Bleksomat machines, Seedsigners, nodes and LNbits jukeboxes!
I'm really curious about these, they seem like an elegant engineering solution. What are the trade-offs with this design in your opinion?
I spoke to 200 students in a school assembly this morning about how bitcoin mining incentivises energy production. I am doing the same assembly on Thursday and might use this clip. I just HATE 'complex mathematical puzzles'!
Are those turbulent turbines, Erik?
