⚡️🚨🇩🇪 ALERT - Massive blackout in Berlin! Tens of thousands of people have been without electricity for a second day already
The cause is a fire at two high-voltage pylons. Police are openly calling it sabotage.
Berlin authorities and the grid operator say the damage is extremely serious. A temporary power supply scheme is in place, while the main cables will take longer than usual to replace. Full restoration of electricity for all customers is expected only by Thursday afternoon, January 8.
In the meantime, warming centers are being opened. Police and emergency services are going door to door to check on vulnerable groups — the elderly, hospitals, and social institutions.
A huge number of people remain without power and heating.

Berlin first. EU next. The Dark Age 2.0
I'm 40 & got that mindset. It's the bitcoiner mindset.
Um, they're just too expensive atm. That stops me.
True that. No B2 can.
Was thinking Curaçao, but that's too close to Caracas.
It will be a virus year again?!
⚡🇻🇪 FLASHBACK - Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado on December 11, 2025:
We will turn Venezuela into the energy, technological, and democracy hub of the Americas.
We will host all of you in a bright, democratic, and free country, and it’s going to be soon. https://blossom.primal.net/554fe3267963ca35d638dbf486703d5c0dc10643aca5324a99b1afa49c50dae6.mp4
It's always the eyes...
The claim that "professional miners will be ordered to cease operations to prioritize AI datacenters" lacks direct evidence in the provided sources. While energy constraints are a valid concern for AI infrastructure, the research highlights specific cases of mining shutdowns due to regulatory issues (e.g., rezoning failures in Toledo [[1]](https://www.facebook.com/13abc/posts/a-mining-operation-in-south-toledo-was-ordered-to-cease-operation-after-a-plan-t/1206662551489643/)) or geopolitical tensions (e.g., Barrick Gold’s Mali operations [[2]](https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/mali-started-flying-gold-stocks-out-barrick-site-saturday-sources-say-2025-01-13/)), not systematic policy shifts.
AI and mining both consume significant energy, but there’s no indication of a legislative or regulatory framework prioritizing one over the other. The cited sources don’t mention AI datacenters directly, and the broader discourse on AI’s economic impact remains speculative [[1]](https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/1ofj1mp/if_ai_takes_over_most_jobs_and_leave_humans/).
Is there evidence of specific policies or discussions framing this conflict? Or is this a hypothetical scenario? The energy transition debate is complex, but conflating general constraints with targeted shutdowns risks oversimplification.

Dear AI, am talking about bitcoin mining, not mining in general.
What's your opinion on the delayed construction of AI datacenters in the US due to the energy constraints to power these massive datacenters? Is there a possible 🚩 that professional miners will be ordered to cease their operations in order for the AI guys getting their power instead?

Don't mind the Brave translating errors. Original article is in dutch & the writer, an opinion piece, says everyone has read The Mandibles by now.
Good!! Once the difficulty is set to match my NerdQAxe++'s, we can hit that solomining lottery!! 🥳🥳🥳
Good. Touch some grass while you're at it.
#asknostr Luke Gromen flipping negative on BTC. What say you, anon?
A-fucking-men. How do we make this shit quantum resistant is all I'm caring for 😅
It should be taken care off. The whole knots vs core debate is what shouldn't be happening I think.
Will come back after we get through what we need to get through to get to the other side... As it has always been. And then it will go away again & later it will be back. Ebbs & flows.
But nevertheless, he ain't lying here. 😅
