Alex gladstien has quite a few things on this topic although he primarily focuses on BTC and human rights, energy and BTC is part of that

https://youtu.be/iJ85fyWx-Ck?si=rNaH20s7zSb8wcmV. here Jordan Peterson has his mind blown on BTCs renewable energy market implications

https://youtu.be/4pVtT0FVlj8?si=EXmnJOXTaCtIwvUs. Bitcoin is green tech discussion

there's crap loads out there, but it will get you started

don't forget El Salvador using volcanic energy to mine, which feeds back capital to grow the countries energy infrastructure

No the UN are one of the last groups with educated opinions: they're an ossified institution with the incentive to maintain the status quo

isn't it going to be great when you can travel about the world without having to fuck around with exchange rates

it's so last century

It's going to come as quite a shock to most peoplethat rely on the signals of other peers,mainstream channels etc

they're going to snap awake alongside of the majority like a game of musical chairs taking place

no maintenance fees,. no entropy to fight, no special storage locations or security middle men to worry about, manage, pay, can move it around the world instantly without regard to mass.and freight, no counterparty risks, no political fuckery to tear your hair out over. In demand and scarce.

beyond attractive

I sometimes wait three days without looking, until my paycheck comes in

I do this when the Fiat price is taking a tumble

I don't like missing out

hire a hot air balloon, fly over my hometown and drop leaflets with bold letters "I fucking told you so!"

I used to have many hypothetical wanderings about what is a safe asset, for years after the GFC

I was religiously watching Max keiser since maybe 2012 but did not have even a minor stirring to look into Bitcoin until the C19 shakedown

That's when suddenly I saw all the other assets including gold as inferior

outside of Bitcoin, the best assets are being able to garden and fish

ooooh. sounds like just the kind of thing you'd get if you lived around Byron Bay mate

it seems.to me both parties gravitated towards the biggest honey pots: the billionaires and the Bankers

thus they had to conform to the same rules to get the favours. hence they look the same

but since they look the same, they need to leverage people's emotions to create insane asylums with different decors to fight over

LMK if you're in Byron for the Halving. I'll be there

what's the status of their capital controls? would a bank block transactions going outbound?

I'm imagining people buying BTC in person using cash, from tourists

is this cannibas or the economy doing this?

the fact people buy it rather than grow it themselves says a lot to me

Bitcoin mining is supporting so called Green energy projects the capital to continue operations, stabilisers the grid by buying excess energy they generate, keep the costs down of necessarily idling hydrocarbon energy producers that necessarily support those intermittent producers, turn escaped methane gas at well heads into "less damaging" gases, should you believe in that fanciful propaganda, capitalise stranded hydropower for poor villages to have constant cheap electricity, bank the unbamked and give them access to globall liquidity (which sorry none of yiur other coins comes close to matching, incl eth)

I could go on.

TLDR it's the opposite of what you believe

" Capitalism begins not with exchange, but with giving, not with determinist rationality, but with creation and surprisal."

quote from "knowledge and power" lifted out of "Bitcoin is Venice"

thanks for the recommended read goes to Robert Breedlove

a lot of cultural economic bullshit gets cleared out with that statement

and here I am on NOSTR living inside that sentence!

❤️

o man, the Bitcoin community has been such a god-given answer to the willful despoiling of the human spirit we've all been up against for so long

it's so perfect

the further away that man's words are kept from the community the better. I like what he does, but he has had zero respect for what others in the community have done for him and the planet

the thing I really like about this it'll help me find out what it ooks like to get zapped

My enjoyment of zapping has undoubtedly been because of unit bias. zapping 42, 84, 100 sats has the feel of abundance about it (despite knowing the truth), extravagance with no consequence, and guaranteed pleasure for someone else

seems like a win-win

Eric Learners LPPFusion lab: The big bang never happened. Here he grades the BB theories predictions wrt observations in 16 well known tests over (I think) two episodes

https://youtube.com/watch?v=3KkhRibBllU&si=xHLrgrsC6e_BIjv7

WRT Bitcoin and energy FUD, he also has stuff on energy density of renewables etc as it relates to economic well being

To me, they are the leading fusion lab because they are approaching fusion thru the lens of electric universe type physics - ie they're taking a contrarian approach just like Bitcoiners have : you do the work, then you put your money where your mouth is

and it's showing results

was klaatu the alien in some U.S colonels memoirs of meeting an alien in some cave?

please don't tell me it came from a keenau Reeves movie

Fucking thank you Jeeeezus

I'm with you. Although I think it's about the paycheck incentive to protect the consensus

which is horrifying from an individuals perspective, allowing yourself to puke up a BS narrative for money while your life force withers away in the service of lies

Fiat kills the joy of exploration

There' are plasma filaments, ie currents, extending across the galaxy. i find it interesting that the sun may be situated within these circuits, receiving current flows.

plasma cosmology, while having recognition as a field of study, doesn't get its dues

the most interesting practical applications I've so far come across is plasma cosmologist Eric Learners Fusion lab

he wrote "the big bang never happened" in the 90's, for ignored

Fusion tech will happen, and it will happen through guys like this who use observation rather than modelling to inform their science experiments
