Zac Prince suddenly crawling out the woodwork as #Bitcoin hits ATH. Along side Celsius et al, Blockfi gave a very painful but incredibly important lessons for retail investors of β€˜not your keys, not your coins’. Get your coins off exchanges and into self-custody. They can’t be trusted. P.S Zac needs to pay @HODL his 1 BTC bet. image
Hi Daniel, really enjoyed your speech in Madeira and showing how methane mitigation could turn the Bitcoin network carbon negative, more people need to be hearing this for sure. However, my concern with renewable energy like wind and solar especially in the US is that they are only competitive due to government subsidies that taxpayers/consumers are ultimately paying for, even if there energy bill appears cheaper?

Great rip @Marty Bent and @npub1hxwm...40pf on #Bitcoin mining. How much longer can we allow government subsidies to support the production of expensive and unreliable wind and solar that can potentially destabilise the grid. Volatile price swings from negative to positive that still require natural gas back up. Miners are remarkable at load balancing but should they continue to support poor state policy? Taxpayers ultimately have to pay for the subsidies. For society to flourish we need cheap, abundant and reliable energy. #Nuclear https://fountain.fm/episode/oMCRC9Py5IvrrORkaWnL
#FreedomTech or #FuckYouTech enables us to build a movement dedicated to leveraging technology to enhance personal freedom, privacy, and empowerment. Decentralised protocols like #NOSTR and #Bitcoin can revolutionise the way we think about how we live are lives, the rights we have taken and the personal responsibility we must embrace in order to be free and to grow.
As traditional systems of governance face increasing scrutiny from a growing awareness amongst the public that something feels wrong, decentralised tools like #Bitcoin and #nostr can be utilised to promote both freedom of speech and protection from financial repression. #Freedomtech
Resist the centralisation of power that eventually leads to collectivism and tyranny through #FreedomTech #Bitcoin and #NOSTR. The State and Corporatocracy want us scared and dependent on them. Focus on your family and local community to build strong decentralised infrastructure outside state control. Thank you @ODELL 🫑 Check out this article on Bitcoin Magazine:

High signal Citadel Dispatch on home mining with @ODELL @econoalchemist @diverter_NoKYC and @roninminer. Everything is covered that is needed to get going from acquiring a miner, infrastructure, pools, heat, and noise. Unfortunately as a UK Bitcoiner the high electricity fees make home mining uneconomical but will look into the heat utilisation as a way to lower costs. Thanks guys.
Great pod @Guy Swann on wasted energy. However, I am getting uncomfortable with the idea that Bitcoin miners in certain jurisdictions are enabling governments to continue subsidising expensive and unreliable energy sources. Miners are amazing at load balancing but should they continue to support poor state policy? Consumers ultimately have to pay for the subsidies. For society to flourish we need cheap, abundant and reliable energy.
