Mining may produce low margins, but the state is not looking to the the venture for profit maximization.
If the goal is to leverage it's untapped natural energy resources to a) protect the network on which it owns tokens, and b), ensure its access to block space, government should mine.
Alternatively, it could "print and buy". The problem here, as we know: the government is hurting the lower class with more and more inflation. It is harmful.
100%. Anger causes you to look inward. It makes your world small, and dark. Love causes you to look outward. It makes your world big, and light..
We can deliver salvation to people, solve their problems, and provide happiness.
But, if they don't want it, didn't ask for it, would rather not separate from their tribes, and look beyond, we are wasting our time.
Everyone can't be saved. Focus on those that ask for help.
Gave up alcohol almost two years ago. Then I tackled refined sugar / processed food about a year ago (which was tougher for me). I've never been healthier.
When you are in a rut, and your world is small, big thoughts can be intimidating.
But, as you start to get healthy and grow, your world gets bigger. Your mind expands. The big ideas aren't intimidating. They are empowering.
Same with people sharing them. Thanks, ODELL.
I haven't studied religion much and can't comment, but I heard a priest argue that the church's incentives are misaligned to the teachings of Jesus, and have failed to help people dealing with issues in this world.
In contrast, he then noted decentralized community and fellowship (things like AA, Al Anon) is getting it done, and advancing the work of Jesus where the centralized church fails. Power to the people.
Stepping outside the echo chamber of #bitcoin specifically, is it me, or does it feel like centralized vs decentralized control and self sovereignty are the defining issues of our time?
Who knows? And does Coinbase really have the corn? Maybe yes. Maybe no.
This is the CLASSIC I can care less about MicroStrategy, but Im going to give my opinion on it nonsense. https://v.nostr.build/XkJTrKUQQGufFMH1.mp4
These guys dont have a deep understanding, yet pretend they do. And it is why Saylor is running circles around them.
He should know all about special interests
Maybe the USG is selling to pay Kamala's campaign debt! 🤣
Published this week, let me paraphrase the Financial Times' "Hodlers: An apology": We stand by every single one of our posts over the last 14 years which told you Bitcoin would fail, and to disregard the market signal from a rising price. But, now that the price has exceeded $100k, we are sorry if you listened to us and didn't buy.

The liberal, mainstream financial press is so confused about #bitcoin, yet they can't take their eyes off it. For instance, four articles on bitcoin in this week's venerable Barrons Magazine. Unprecedented coverage, but with headlines are all over the place. Still early.
"Microstrategy is Winning by Breaking Wall Street's Rules. Avoid the Stock "
"Trump is Ready to Unleash Bitcoin and Other Cryptos. Hand On to Your Wallets"
"Bitcoin Could Keep Surging in Trump 2.0. Here's the Smart Way to Play
It."
"Bitcoin in Your Retirement Account? A Little Wouldn't Hurt."
The whole 🌎 needs it, too!
PSA: #Bitcoin is NOT partisan.
Bitcoin is progressive and conservative at the same time. Bitcoin is for Republicans and Democrats and Libertarians and ANYONE who wants to use it.
Bitcoin doesn’t need politicians, politicians need Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Bitcoin is for human rights advocates and dissident journalists and soccer moms and criminals and your Boomer uncle.
Bitcoin is for Russian Oligarchs and African villagers.
Bitcoin is for individuals and Nation States.
Bitcoin is for people you love and people you hate.
BITCOIN DOESNT CARE.
Luckily, Chris Hayes’ pitiful propaganda only hurts the 69 people who still watch MSNBC.
Ignore statist fiat shills and follow nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8
MSNBC is reporting that the bitcoin strategic reserve is cover for bitcoiners who want a bailout.
This is so stupid, desperate and deranged, on so many levels, it can only mean that we are winning!
Tick lock, next block.
