@Samson Mow may gave meant a slightly larger Godzilla, but the pump is genuine.

The current paradigm of the energy sector, resembles a virus that kills its host. The new paradigm, with integration of #Bitcoin mining, resembles a virus that nurtures and reprograms its host. The sustainability narrative will shift because of the changing of incentives to a harmonic model. This model is more competitive, so to participate in this revolution is the only way to survive. This harmonic model is also easier to understand, because it doesn't require belief. The endgame is the eradication of ideology and a harmonious balance with our host planet earth.

I think scientism is the worst ideology mankind has produced so far.

#Bitcoin is forcing people to relinquish control. Our collective behavior isn't based on what the individuals believe, it's determined by the options that are available. This is the first time in our known history that consequential collective choice isn't determined by ideology.

Distinguishing between noise and sound is meaningful, but disregarding amplitude can make it trivial.

Internet protocols are forcing people to relinquish control to the emergence of spontaneous order. You can ignore this only for so long.

Short term holders dumping their Bitcoin at a loss is frustrating and amazing to see. Diligence, please. When you study #Bitcoin you'll understand how to cope with volatility, to evoke the power of stoicism, to shrug and go about your business, to simply hodl without letting emotions guide your actions.

When I was a kid and an adult shouted at me I would think I did something wrong only until I gave it some thought. As I grew up I found out adults often make bad judgments with bad information. I learned to make up my own mind. Now when I read a book I think about this.

I used to say: "money will not change me. I'm willing to have little or work for some, but I will not budge for it. My time is worth more than anything I can ever earn." A very specific kind of money did change me. It did more than change me. I became a servant to the whole. My time is still worth more than any amount of #bitcoin, but the network is worth more than me.

The one thing Trump said that I did like was that he plans to have America generate an abundance of electricity. This is more important than bitcoin legal tender or a Bitcoin treasury, because electricity is the #Bitcoin security budget.

$2.9M per #bitcoin  in 2050 equals 26 years of 15.7% compound inflation. It's not a prediction for a serious future. If it was serious, van Eck would not predict a price denominated in dollars but in oil.

People in the 18th century needed to be convinced to eat potatoes. People in the 19th century needed to be convinced to use a telephone. People in the 20th century needed to be convinced to use shopping carts. People in the 21st century needed to be convinced to use #Bitcoin

When you use a paradigm to describe your world view model of reality, you will run into unexplainable discrepancies. There is not one single paradigm of thought we can universally use, so we must shift from one paradigm to another until we find the true paradigm. We may not ever find it. Any paradigm you use will blind you for at least some part of the whole, until the true paradigm is found. One thing I know is true, is that sticking to one paradigm is called ideology. Ideology is what people use to create false security.

We are able to describe that in language which is conceivable yet untrue. We can frame into logic, albeit with assumptions that which will remain a theory until the end of time. We have no proof that a difference between physical and metaphysical exists. Our perception suggests it, but we merely perceive a somewhat congruent framework of reality. True agnosticism is the only way to unveil that which we may someday discover to be actually true.

Our primary sensory perceptions, whether it be temperature, color, taste/smell, geolocation, or sound, are all processed within certain bandwidths of frequency and with lesser or greater fidelity. These perceptions must be coherent and congruent for us to construct a shared consensus of reality. Our secondary sensory perceptions whether it be sense of time, memory, intuition, or self, follow the same process structure even though the amount of fidelity is difficult to find congruence for a consensus of reality. We can learn how to talk about layers of perception and reality, just like we can distinguish between many colors. It just takes practice.

Reason per definition is the pursuit of truth and ideology is the pursuit of make belief. Ideology doesn't require anything to be true. Reason requires every step to be true.

Because we need to bounce particles off of other particles in order to measure them, we alter the state of the particle we measure by energizing it with whatever force it takes to measure. This is the reason we have not yet been able to measure temperature below zero kelvin.

By mining #Bitcoin you're effectively acquiring Bitcoin at the price of the energy you're spending. It is by far the most economical way to buy Bitcoin if you have cheap electricity. As long as your energy price (plus amortization of the ASICs), is lower than the Bitcoin price, you're efficient.

If you once owned some #Bitcoin and are accused of still having it: Even if the burden of proof is on you, it is impossible to prove that you don't own it. An intelligent and moral judge will dismiss the case because of this.
