Hey I'd love your help with something.
A few people have asked "how do you find the time to debunk so much FUD?" It's my newsletter that increasingly is giving me the ability to allocate a lot of time to fighting FUD (which increases during bullruns).
And yet ... most people have no idea that I even run a newsletter!
The money from the newsletter (and my coaching) means I don't have to do a FIAT job, which frees up my time. And I re-invest that time straight back into defending Bitcoin mining and doing my freely available Bitcoin research. True circular economy. Apart from that, I'm told by others that the newsletter is pretty good !
I write research that is driven by data but accessible to people not from the world of finance about stuff like why this cycle there won't be a significant altseason or big drawdowns, what pension fund adoption will do for bitcoin, plus how the changing ESG narrative is helping Bitcoin adoption.
So if you're interested in institution-grade Bitcoin research without the institution-grade terminology once a month, please sign up for my newsletter and direct others there too. It's only $8/month, and if you don't like it, you have the freedom to drop away after the first month - so max risk of $8 (though I must warn you, very few do).
My newsletter signup is at www.batcoinz.com
It's a true win-win
Thank you 🙏
Daniel
PS: I'm not an important or big enough author yet for substack to offer me a Bitcoin payment option, but there is a workaround available, so msg me on Nostr if you want to take that option
There is some truth in what you say yes.
We are both the master of our fate and … we are in control of nothing, at the same time. We cannot even control our own body, when it gets sick, when it gets injured, when it ultimately drops us. Our thoughts come to us without a visa whether we invited them or not. Our emotions rise and fall to a rhythm we can influence but not control. Our memories stay with us without our control. Events happen we didn’t schedule on our New Year’s resolution list, people die we are close to. Events are not in our control.
All that we have the capacity to control is our own mind, and therefore the responses, decisions and actions that go with that.
That is why freedom in the mind is the ultimate self sovereignty.
I would say “It was your responsibility”. Has a different vibe to “it was your fault” which implies self-blame, and blame in any flavor does not help us to see things as they are.

Did you know that the most streamed Beatles song on Spotify is “Here Comes the Sun”?
Incredible that the one that has stood the test of time the most is a Harrison composition.
Success Nerds has just done a good independent appraisal of Bitcoin mining in a nuanced, well researched piece.

Bitcoin mining can (and does) lower the cost of energy.
Supply shock news
Since mid-Nov MARA and RIOT have raised 2.2M between them to buy Bitcoin
Looking at the data across different mining companies and comparing their HODL/buy strategies, the Bitcoin mining network will likely flip from net distributors to net acquirers of bitcoin within the next 12 months. (Although on the current trajectory it could happen sooner).
Probably nothing.
Great to see more people taking the time to research bitcoin mining thoroughly

Yes that’s a big reason. The wind farm is still in the grid interconnection queue so it’s ideally suited to older bitcoin mining rigs doing intermittent mining
