I am reading the new BlackRock report like a fiat cuck and Larry makes a good point: we need to democratise investment. Public projects like ports, roads and energy infrastructure are often reserved for private investment from banks and governments. This got me thinking. Could we use tools like @npub1wrzg...cm02 to fund public infrastructure? Could we crowd-fund SMRs in the U.K. and the adjacent bitcoin mining and heat-capture infrastructure?

A few months ago I used @Geyser as a platform to raise money for a charity called the Turing Trust. The concept was simple: buy a node and support their work sending computers to school kids in Malawi. We raised and donated over Β£2000! At the end of the fundraiser I was disappointed that the Turing Trust wanted the donation in fiat... 😞 The initiative had an impact however and after receiving the fiat donation (and watching the bitcoin price rip to 100k) the Turing Trust have now agreed to accept and HODL bitcoin as payment for the computers from now on. I have now started selling affordable and high quality nodes for U.K. plebs on @Plebeian Market . πŸš€ ⭐ Β£210 for a plug-and-play 2tb Start 9 node with 16gb RAM. Discreet shipping and no import taxes. 10% of every sale goes to @Start9 and 10% goes to the Turing Trust. ⭐ >> << They dont have HEAPS of machines to sell, so there is limited availability as and when I get deliveries. πŸ“¦ My long-term ambition is to work with the Turing Trust to get computers to @npub17cya...4ml3 projects in Kenya, Malawi and Tanzania such as @Felix 's @thecore21m. God willing I can make it happen! πŸ™ I know that the Turing Trust will benefit from the appreciation of the bitcoin raised with every sale, enabling them to continue their work. I am going to Edinburgh in May for a friend's wedding and plan on going to check out the Turing Trust's warehouse and meet all the people I have been in communication with to make this happen. I will get some photographs and video to share on Nostr... πŸ“Ή πŸ“· Thank you to @Arnold Hubach for the introduction to the Turing Trust. To @Start9 for making FOSS software and to @Geyser for the original platform to raise the initial donation. @Daniel Prince @MaxUM @CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON @Bitcoin Events UK @Bert
