How to reduce costs for any kind of hotel/AirBnB accommodation:

1. Buy ASIC

2. Travel with ASIC

3. Plug it in. Consumed electricity will be offsetting your costs

Yes. This idea is pretty dubious and arguably immoral. I just couldn't help but share how my rotten brain works. #bitcoin

I have a good friend that is a fishing guide. Great man but a "Murica Fuck Yea" type.

A friend and I chartered him and were talking about tipping in cash so he'd not pay taxes. He said "I report everything including cash tips".

My bud and I went Soup Nazi on him, "NO TIP FOR YOU"!

The only reason I was even paying the trip cost on a card is to game the tax system and make it a write off for "client entertainment", which it absolutely was.

Wonder what he thinks now about Biden going after servers for 100% tip reporting? Because of course he hates Biden and socialism. 🙄

This week’s heatwave is causing my nose to bleed. We are hitting temperature of what feels like 42 deg C (108 F).

When you are from a tropical rainforest countries like ours that’s far from a fault line, you don’t really talk abt the weather. You just enjoy it. It’s pretty perfect.

And it was like that - until abt 10 yrs ago when haze from deforestation, over-industrialisation, peat fires, thunderstorms, flood started kicking in.

Climate change is real.

- Denying it is silly. Capitalising over it ie wef is cruel

- Logging is needed. Corrupted and uncontrolled logging should go

- Carbon trade is strategic. But bullying 3rd world country into trading should go.

- Oil and Gas is needed. But it could use a lot of impactful preventive methods (I work with a startup on this)

- Fast fashion is bad. Every year, from America alone several million tans of synthetic waste is dumped onto the landfills of South America and Africa.

- Renewable energy is good. You don’t need to make it mandatory but you could innovate on it.

- Nuclear is good.

This is a great book on understanding nuclear as green energy.

A few things are crucial in green energy,

1) baseload (grid power used in cities) - so far only fossil fuels (coal) hydro, and nuclear are used. Wind and solar are not used as they are intermittent. Coal is used by 2/3 of the world

2) landscape - A nuclear plant producing 1,000 megawatts takes up 1/3 a square mile. A wind farm would have to cover over 200 square miles to obtain the same result, and a solar array over 50 square miles

3) hazard comparison - between coal waste and nuclear waste.

Nuclear waste is minuscule - one Coke can’s worth per person-lifetime of electricity.

Coal waste is massive—68 tons of solid stuff and 77 tons of carbon dioxide per person-lifetime of strictly coal electricity.

Nuclear waste goes into dry cask storage, kept in small area, controlled & monitored.

A 1-gigawatt coal plant burns 3 million tons of fuel a yr, produces 7 million tons of CO2, goes into everyone’s atmosphere affecting food chain, air pollution,lung diseases etc

Twitter removes autocomplete function after it suggested shocking videos of cats and dogs being tortured and mass shootings

Searching "cat" on the site led to suggestions of "cat in a blender," while a search for the word "dog" prompted "dog stabbed by screwdriver."

Normally not interested in #architecture that much.

But somehow found this beautiful

#Bitcoin Trades at Nearly $650 Premium on Binance.US. They charge #arbitrage in order to stay alive. A sign they might fail IMHO. #money #finance

Would BTC see even more adoption if it had bridges with other crypto assets? Right now the most used method of buying BTC seems to be through centralised exchanges.

Are discussions on NOSTR only meant to be about Bitcoin? Asking for a friend.

Very glad we went from calling Bitcoin “virtual currency” to “digital currency”.

#terminology

I see people come to the same key realisations about bitcoin and crypto and state them as original thought over and over again. The highlights being:

1. Church and state were separated so why shouldn’t money and state?

2. The price couldn’t go to $100… as someone would swoop in and buy it up then!

3. Deflationary systems help preserve value in the long run.

4. One bitcoin is always one bitcoin.

5. Money is a store of value.

6. Fiat is a Ponzi scheme!

7. It doesn’t matter who Satoshi is.

8. The energy spent by miners across the world is insignificant when compared with what is spent by the fiat world.

9. The energy spent by miners is not waste. It’s what is required to make this new monetary system work.

10. Keeping the money honest is a way to keeping the world honest.

Did I miss anything? Should something else have been included in the top ten list?

Funny how #litecoin is doing the same TX volume as #bitcoin but with zero issues, #LTC > #BTC

Bitcoin has been intentionally crippled to keep the bankers in power, it is time to abandon this failed chain
