Had an epiphany on the mining stage during my panel with Troy Cross, Guy Swann and Blake King that I tried to articulate on the go and want to articulate it here.

It is very ironic that politicians and central bankers refer to bitcoin mining as wasteful.

I understand this irony very deeply because of the work we're doing at Standard Bitcoin. Our strategy is to identify rural towns with falling populations that have excess capacity at substations because a large manufacturing facility left town due to globalization.

At Standard Bitcoin we are taking advantage of the waste produced at substations across Appalachia. There is a lot of waste because the dollar system made it unprofitable to manufacture goods in the US.

Substations were built for heavy industry, heavy industry was eventually disincentivized due to monetary and economic policy, they were priced out and forced to leave or shut down, and substations were left behind producing massive amounts of electricity with declining demand.

Bitcoin mining has produced a profitable way to take care of the waste created by the dollar system and its perverse incentives that have led to a hallowing out of our manufacturing base here in the US. This is a beautiful thing and a saving grace for the Rust Belt.

It is truly ironic that those in government and central banking call bitcoin miners wasteful when we are fixing a waste problem that their policies created.

Our ability to solve this waste problem has very positive effects on the towns we operate in too.

We create jobs while allowing utilities to keep prices lower for residential consumers because we provide them with a significant revenue boost.

We're driving peak efficiency. We don't waste a single watt.

The gaslighting over this topic is pretty insane.

Keen insight.

Quite simply, we don’t see bitcoin as it is, but how we are. Imo this is a feature and testament to the breadth of what Bitcoin actually is or may become.

I welcome and learned a lot from Jason’s nuanced view of power projection, systems thinking and how he looks to nature to explain his ideas and concepts. Love that part.

While listening to the podcast I felt at times ideas and concepts were wrapped in over complication. Not sure if it’s just the way his brain works or if he intentionally does it to make his points seem more unique or original.

Appreciated the podcast.

Proof of zap to reduce scam,bots and otherwise non productive/ disruptive or destructive accounts from infiltrating nostr.

In order for an account/ person to interact with anyone (comment,like,DM) or follow someone they have had to zap them on a past note or have to zap them on request of intended action, only one zap is needed as verification. (Possibly more zap logic if it is needed to discourage scammy behaviour)

This imposes a real cost to spinning up many scam accounts and scammy interactions.

Although I haven’t observed many of these fraudulent activities on nostr yet as it becomes more popular I can imagine it happening more and more.

Is this something that can be implemented?

Would this be helpful to users?

Is it even needed?
