Hashdried beef with 93 g protein. Fiat-free: No Sugar, No Soy, No Additives. Proof-of-beef! 🥩⚡
It's not the chewy, sweet, soy-marinated strip you grew up calling jerky. It's closer to a crunchy carnivore chip, the texture of something that had all the noise removed. Not jerky. Not even close.
The supply chain for Bitcoin Beef Bits is Finnish farms, @Kotitila_fi butcher shop, Bitcoin miner, bag. Most snack brands could not tell you a single step in theirs. We can tell you every step because there are only four.
In 1977, the Senate committee that told Americans to eat less fat and more carbohydrates was being actively shaped by grain and sugar industry lobbyists during the drafting process. The recommendations that came out aligned with their commercial interests. This is not a fringe claim. It is documented. McGovern later lost his Senate seat in part because the meat and dairy industries opposed the fat reduction guidance. The document became the foundation of dietary recommendations for the next generation.
Archaeologists excavating Egyptian tombs found salted beef ribs placed there to feed the dead on their journey into the afterlife, which means 4,500 years ago dried and preserved beef was considered valuable enough to send with someone forever. Today we dry ours with Bitcoin miner heat and ship it to your door. 🥩⚡
Every decision point in producing beef bits had a more convenient option and a less convenient one, and the version you are holding is the result of consistently choosing the one that did not involve adding or compromising something. 🧡
It's not jerky. Jerky has sugar, soy, tenderizers, and a paragraph of ingredients. This is beef and salt. Dried with miners. Different category entirely.
Finnish beef comes with stricter animal welfare and feed standards than most of Europe, which matters when the only other ingredient is salt, because with two ingredients there is nowhere for a substandard source to hide. Sourced by Kotitila in Finland @BTC Butcher
If you have spent serious time understanding why central banks cannot be trusted to manage money well, you have already done most of the intellectual work needed to understand why the food industry cannot be trusted to tell you what to eat.

Proof-of-beef in person. @Luke de Wolf is at Bitcoin Copenhagen (BTCCPH) this weekend with some Bitcoin Beef Bits. Pass by and say hi 🥩⚡ image
No additives. No optimization theater. No labels reassuring you it's fine. Just beef and salt. Some problems are already solved. www.bitcoinbeefbits.com
The word salary comes from salt. Roman soldiers were paid in salt (salarium) and marched on salsamentum, salted preserved meat that lasted weeks. We dry ours with Bitcoin miner heat in Finland. Same principle. Different century.
Why does every "keto snack" need 14 ingredients? Beef doesn't need rescuing. It doesn't need flavoring, tenderizing, or preserving. It needs heat and salt. That's the whole job. Everything else on the label is there to cover for the source material.
Ancel Keys did a study titled the Seven Countries Study in 1955 where he presented his hypothesis, diets low in animal fat protected against heart disease and that a diet high in animal fats led to heart disease. Keys started with twenty-two countries and selected seven. The fifteen he excluded include France and West Germany, countries with high-fat diets and low heart disease rates. They contradicted the hypothesis so they weren't in the study. This study became the definitive citation in official dietary recommendations for the next forty years, telling people to avoid saturated fat. We're still living in the aftermath. Low-fat everything. Seed oils. A food pyramid built on omissions and lies.
Every shortcut in this business has been available since day one. Add preservatives and ship globally. Use a commercial dryer for larger batches. Add sugar for the mass market. Every one of those options was looked at and turned down. Not because it couldn't be done. Because doing it meant adding something at the cost of quality, and that's where the line is.
About 5,000 years before Bitcoin Beef Bits, the Sumerians were preserving meat with salt and sun between the Tigris and Euphrates, and the clay tablets they left behind include some of the earliest food preservation instructions ever recorded by anyone. Five thousand years later, the principle is exactly the same. We swapped the Mesopotamian sun for Bitcoin miner heat, but the principle hasn't changed. Only the heat source has. ☀️⚡
