If Canada can’t sell its electricity to the U.S. due to Trump’s tariffs and the energy standoff Doug Ford is waging, then recognizing the abundance here for Bitcoin mining becomes even more critical. Instead of being trapped in a trade war, Canada could harness its surplus energy to mine Bitcoin, converting stranded power into an uncorruptible global asset. The key to resolving this trade war is shifting to a Bitcoin standard for measuring energy prices. By doing so, the entire North American continent could drastically lower costs, creating the freest market in the world and unlocking an unparalleled competitive advantage. This would allow us to challenge the Chinese mercantilist model and its reliance on debt slavery. It can be frustrating to see this so clearly while others remain trapped in fear. But once you understand this, you realize—there will always be a buyer for our energy.

When your portfolio crashes when measured in USD pieces of paper but actually goes up when measured in Bitcoin. ♾️ infinity / 21 million Crash, inflate, crash, inflate, crash, inflate, crash, inflate…Bitcoin isn’t crashing, the world is crashing into Bitcoin. A year over year process to be clear, but it’s happening because Bitcoin doesn’t give af. Bitcoin is repricing the world. It’s anyone’s guess though as to when the quickening really hits and this process goes into hyper-drive. What an absolutely mind boggling realization…

Just asked ChatGPT: How much per month was the OpenAI agent AI supposed to cost and does the Manus model challenge that payment structure? Response: OpenAI has outlined a tiered pricing structure for its forthcoming AI agent services: • Entry-Level Agent: Designed for high-income knowledge workers, priced at $2,000 per month. • Mid-Tier Agent: Tailored for software development tasks, available at $10,000 per month. • Advanced Research Agent: Capable of PhD-level research, costing $20,000 per month. These pricing details were shared by OpenAI executives during discussions with investors, reflecting the company’s strategy to cater to diverse professional needs with varying levels of AI assistance.  In contrast, China’s AI landscape has seen significant developments, notably the introduction of DeepSeek and the more recent Manus AI agent. These innovations aim to democratize access to advanced AI capabilities by offering open-source models, challenging proprietary systems that often come with substantial costs. The open-source nature of Manus could potentially disrupt traditional pricing models by providing comparable functionalities without the associated expenses, thereby exerting competitive pressure on companies like OpenAI to reassess their pricing strategies. The emergence of open-source AI models like Manus underscores a broader trend toward accessible and cost-effective AI solutions, prompting established firms to evaluate and potentially adapt their pricing structures to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market. If you haven’t read @Jeff Booth ‘s book yet you might want to add it to the top of your list cause this stuff is really getting interesting.

The dexterity is incredible.

Is this how things are playing out? The battle is softwar, as Jason Lowery describes it—playing out at different scales of resolution, perceived differently depending on one’s level of understanding and conditioning. Some see it clearly, others remain trapped in narratives designed to obscure it. At one extreme, the deindustrialization cult Trudeau and Carney are part of pushes for total AI and energy control, rationing progress to cement a static, monopolized order. They justify it through environmental and safety concerns but ultimately seek absolute centralization. Opposing them, the Trump-Thiel-Musk faction rejects deindustrialization but erects its own control system—a dollar-backed Bitcoin network running on hyperinflated USD stablecoins. They advocate spontaneous order, but within guardrails they define, ensuring their dominance over AI and financial rails. Beyond both, a sovereign Bitcoin AI network emerges—operating outside the control structures. Here, Fedi and eCash mints facilitate encrypted, anonymous transactions on a Bitcoin based free banking model, AI tools remain decentralized, and individuals retain full custody of their financial and computational power. As AI and automation make human labor increasingly expensive, the divide becomes obvious: those using sovereign Bitcoin layers and decentralized AI retain freedom, purchasing power, and agency. Those trapped in the control grids—whether under deindustrialists or corporate fiat-Bitcoiners—see their autonomy eroded, locked into systems designed to extract rather than empower.

Figured it out at 5. Asked my Mom and she was honest. Then she got a call from my kindergarten teacher that I was spoiling Santa for the other kids… Quite the early awakening. View quoted note →

Another amazing Calgary @The Sat Market organized by @BTC Sessions yesterday. Got a copy of Roger Huang’s book signed too!

It was great to finally meet @Jeff Booth in Kelowna on Friday. Although his talk ran a bit longer than expected, meaning there was no time left for the Q&A panel, we still had a brief chat that made the 6-hour drive totally worth it. Looking forward to more events in the future and having a much longer conversation on a variety of topics.

LEVEL UP A.I. SUMMIT Really excited to finally hear Jeff Booth speak in person. This has been a long time coming, might have to order another book to get signed since I’ve given away so many already I don’t even have my own copy anymore….. See you soon @Jeff Booth

The only thing as good as hanging out with Bitcoiners for two days at the Calgary Bitcoin Rodeo is being back with my dog packs.
