Bitcoin Mining: "THE Heat and noise Byproduct could be irrelevant" Heat has been an issue since the first computers, now Bitcoin miners. Fine if you want the heat, bad if it is summer and you need AC. I have always thought why not put Bitcoin miners in space. No need for expensive elaborate water cooling systems. Outer space is an organic noise canceler. No Electricity costs. No Land needed. So, now DOGE (not the coin) could help with this too? A lot of work to do when our policies have kept our feet about a light year away from the gas pedals of our human potential.

"Ruin Sorbees" When the Internet first started taking off, this went viral even though it was created way before the Internet. There was/is a lot of funny material out there like this way, way before the Internet. Memes were first mimeographed, then photocopied. They were shared via snail mail, Interoffice mail, and then email. I first got this in my email in 1997 and it still makes me laugh:

Hospitality Paradigm

Ruin Sorbees - Hospitality Paradigm

Most of you are too young to remember the early days of the Internet. I still remember some of the earliest ones. If there is any interest, I will post more. The one I am thinking about today is because of Bitcoin and Main Stream Media. Just how wrong they have been, "F" on their reporting. It reminds me of this super old site by a programmer named "Maddox." (Any chance the Bitcoin one?) Anyway, this guy put Children's Art out there and then rated it, brutally. Sorry, this is exactly what should have been happening all along with MSM as they are suddenly going to be painting Bitcoin in the right light and colors. Ridiculous.

Bitcoin: "Made Somewhere on Mother Earth" I can't believe the main motivator of the US buying Bitcoin is to undercut China. I mean China is kicking our everyone's ass on drones, defense, robots, EVs (cheaper), energy....yet, China can't figure out to buy Bitcoin? Regardless, this is a good article by Mr. Feathers. It would be nice for MSM in the USA to finally get it right? It takes the NYT to show an article on a "leak" yet they have been completely CRAPTASTIC in their reporting on 16 year old Bitcoin. "F" MSM is now calling Bitcoin a 'NASCENT' asset class, meaning new. No, it isn't. You know it isn't. You have deliberately kept your readers in the dark following the agenda of politics and your advertisers. I would be labeled a Liberal too, no excuses at all, for anyone on this non-partisan asset class called Bitcoin. Not "Crypto" but Bitcoin. Get it right. Looking at you, China, the US has given you the Playbook, one you could have written an executed long ago. But....power over your people prevails, right? Keepem under your thumb? Bitcoin gives the power to the people. I hope many of you other governments get torched. It means the people win, not you. Goodby archaic government rulers with your archaic government currencies, Bitcoin is coming for you, like a virus, and there is nothing you can do.

Policy Proposal for Trump's Bitcoin Stockpile Leaks

The main argument seems to be "China."

More than half the people on Planet Earth live in this circle. At this point in time it is GN not even close to GM there:

So many are are hanging on Trump to be the savior in "crypto" and Bitcoin, like this guy's final desperation: Trump to son: "Hey Eric, what do you think about this guy losing his crypto in a dump?" Eric: "Bitcoin, dad, Bitcoin. Well, if he finds it, he isn't going to HODL and will sell it. If he doesn't find it then it is a donation to the Bitcoin Network. Helps us." Trump: "Got it...helps me....screw that guy. Denied."

It bums me out to see Trending 12 and 24 hours full of GM. I mean GM is great, I mean super great but Trending? I feel bad now after a month in Europe how GM here is almost always GA to you all. I will have to start posting around midnight to say GM to all of you in most of the rest of the world.

With Donald and Elon the United States Government is going to be going gansta: The dynamic duo: F/ELON

Trump: "The Greatest Grifter of All" Bitcoin: "The Greatest Asset to the Greatest Grifters of All and Everyone Else" Trump is slick. Everyone knows this. He's a showman. A TV celebrity. He's the late night TV guy shilling mops and hair products and knives that cut through aluminum cans. He owns and markets products from Steaks to Bitcoin Shoes. He owns massive property. Also, his family started this "Crypto" (WLF): " World Liberty Financial is designed as a decentralised finance (DeFi) platform where users can borrow, lend, and invest in cryptocurrencies." But what happens when the grifter figures out, all of the crap he owns or shills is crap and Bitcoin is the perfectly cooked steak for his liking. In his case "Well done with Ketchup." Bitcoin satisfies all people, to their individual needs, it's the Burger King of "Have it your way." Like it on cold storage or in an ETF or on an exchange? Want to try and spend it (MoE) or use it as a savings technology? (SoV) It's been there for you since day one, at least as a SoV first. (SoV first is the least friction, MoE will come eventually after figuring out the stupid tax laws etc. It's freakin' money, man. My savings.) But is Trump listening and figuring it out. It has nothing to do with politics. I wrote before the election results, on my low time preference I hoped Harris got into office. I could then stack cheaper sats for at least 4 more years and it would give the rest of the world the chance to lead in Bitcoin technology or my family and friends more time. Where are you rest of the world? Especially Asia. It's so disappointing to me how a small circle on our globe has more than half our inhabitants and you have had 16 years to figure it out? Where are you? So, Trump won, fine, I support Trump fully on Bitcoin and hope you have seen the light? Finally? Do you now see your dumb products, a lot of your buildings, your prized Mar-A-Logo with the gaudy carpet and your Gold toilets are crap compared to Bitcoin? I am hoping your sons, with the launch of your crypto token number 35,870 is a dud. and you are listening to Robert and Vivek? You are a smart business man, hopefully you are letting many of your old habits on making money go and listening and understanding when Saylor says: "There is no second best." Meaning, compared to buildings, tokens, shoes, wine, whatever when it comes to Bitcoin, they are inferior. Thank God Bitcoin doesn't give a rat's ass about Trump or any of us. A "Bitcoin Strategic Reserve" works on every damn level, whether individual or country or Rotary Club. Any organization that understands a savings vehicle to store value and not get it taken away by terrible policy, including the incoming team. Give yourself dumb names like DOGE (the association to the shitcoin sucks by the way for a much needed 'Department'). Doesn't matter, we are screwed regardless because as Larry Lepard has taught us: "The Big Print" is coming, February 14, 2025 for sure in one way or another. So, is the United States Bitcoin Reserve going to happen on January 20th, or a100 days later, or 75 days, or never? WHO CARES? Wake up, Bitcoin is for you, for you to make the decisions and not have to worry about any other company or leader or AI or algorithm to make the decision for you. It's up to you. Sixteen years and counting. When will YOUR Bitcoin Strategic Reserve happen? I'd say do your personal Bitcoin Reserve today. Today is a great day. Tomorrow is good too and the next day and the next day...infinity. But for now, I am eating this popcorn I got at Target on the Clearance rack for a buck, sitting back...watching the human, word based, irrational, emotional pan out while logical, rational, math based Bitcoin keeps on Tick-Tockin' Next Blockin.

"Bitcoin: THE Elevator Speech" I hope this can be a group project but I have had this on my mind for a long time. I would like ONE post that is dynamic, that summarizes Bitcoin as if the post was one elevator speech with ** number of floors. Using Pictures and Links. Bad idea? If not, send me things you think I should use. Scene:Woman (yes, we need more women in Bitcoin) starts to walk on the elevator where there is a guy with a Bitcoin Shirt carrying a notebook. All the Elevator buttons are pushed. She asks, "Can you explain Bitcoin to me briefly, I am going to the top floor." FIRST FLOOR: Purpose? Yes, you have to know the purpose and why Bitcoin was created. There are 180 currencies around the world, each of which is terrible as a Store of Value or savings. The US dollar is the 'best of the worst' but look how much it has lost its store of value and therefore purchasing power. SECOND FLOOR: Why do currencies lose their power as money? Because our US government/others print money out of thin air. Your house isn't going up in value, just like the groceries, everything is rising because the dollar is devaluing because we are $36T in debt and struggling to pay the interest even. (This one sucks I know, need help.) THIRD FLOOR: Man: With Bitcoin, everything is Trending down in price because it is perfectly sound/Hard Money. Bitcoin not only stores value, it increases that stored value over time as it is considered a perfect Savings Technology. FOURTH FLOOR: What is Bitcoin? It's simply a Protocol or code. Think the Internet, pictures, songs, maps, phone calls over the Internet, Snail mail cost vs email, as prices plummeted with those, Bitcoin is merely Money over the Internet and every cost associated with money plummets (Bank, Remittance, Credit Card transactions, wire transfers.) With Bitcoin? "I owe you money, I send you money." - Brian Brooks (as he explained to Congress the almost 7 hops used in a PayPal transaction.) David Portnoy was offended recently by a 'Explain Bitcoin Like I was 5' but this 3 Minute cartoon for kids does an outstanding job explaining it all: More for adults, must watch recent viral video Homework: "What's the problem?" - Joe Bryan

FIFTH FLOOR: Other 'Crypto'? Yes, there are 10s of 1000s of other crypto coins but think like Currency or Stocks, most of them are doing nothing, decreasing, zombies as far as value goes.

Bitcoin 401K provider: Empower.com ?? We were out of the country and my former craptastic employer decided to give a couple weeks notice that my (partial) 401K I have with them is moving providers and there is a month blackout period until the end of the month. Regardless, the former provider had no access to the Bitcoin ETFs or MSTR and I can't find anywhere if this move will allow me to invest in any Bitcoin ETFs or MSTR. Is anyone else in this situation where their company uses Empower.com to service their 401Ks? Yes, I have moved most of the 401K to Fidelity to get around this but I was using this to pay bills.

"This is Water" Thank you Bob Burnett for your latest "Old Man Yells" podcast. It meant a lot, it went deep. I have to admit, I was trying to figure out where you were going with it and missed when you said BSV/BCH. It's about thinking. I was thinking you were going to tie in Bitcoin with Ocean/DATUM, the frustration, maybe the wrong path? I know you are super busy, but I would give anything for what you think about this commencement speech. Every person should watch this, but especially Bitcoiners: (this post will make way more sense if you watch this first.) Most people don't understand, when they ask me what my favorite part of me is, I tell them "the way I think." Self centered? Arrogant? I have always thought differently than most people. It's a blessing and a curse. I don't fear many diseases but I do Alzheimers because I want to be thinking until the day I die. Even ALS doesn't scare me if my thinking is intact. I wonder if Hal was able to keep communicating his thoughts during that terrible disease though. Regardless, while I complain about most Bitcoiners not giving a rip about most of your vision and not supporting you, you understand "the water." For me, I take comfort on knowing there are a handful of Bitcoiners who truly are working on low time preference. Who are building things right while the high time preference Bitcoiners are supporting the wrong visions or visionaries. It's all about the thinking, regardless of if you are in the majority, or invited to $100K parties or not. I love how you think too, but perhaps are default settings are not quite right with Bitcoin? Regardless, on our low time preference, all of it, ordinals, filters, Spam, Mining, pools, it is all sacred. Build it right, low time preference, it's going to take 10x longer. Thanks Bob, for how you think. Cheers

"ProxyVote Nonsense" If you got emails that says you can Proxy Vote for MSTR, the links don't work and it isn't Fidelity or eTrade etc. If you go to the site directly it doesn't even let you cut and paste the Control Number or even type it in. I tried on various browsers. The only thing that works is you have to setup another account. I wonder how many lost votes there are for this nonsense?

Bitcoin: "The ridiculous Filters are Censorship debate" Struggling with X , as I am day 8 of letting my blue check go), my heart, soul, brain shares the NOSTR/Open Source vision. But the bigger struggle is not with me, but with the Bitcoin community. I am struggling with X and NOSTR with the lack of support for Ocean/DATUM as 'filters' is not censorship as the losers in Bitcoin are giving passes on Altcoins and Ordinals. Including people like Trump/Bitcoin Magazine. "Sure Bitcoin is Digital Gold but I can make a lot of money off Fools Gold too so I will regardless of it is right for the Bitcoin Network, it's about me. My legacy. Don't like censorship? Complain to Google if you use Gmail or whatever and tell them to stop filtering SPAM. Tell your mail carrier you are not getting enough "Free" Credit Card solicitation. Tell you Phone Carrier you want to get more of the "question on your warranty" or "we couldn't deliver your package" text. Say YES to RoboCalls where you want to hear about candidates anywhere in the world. Come on, go all in on with your "filters being anti-censorship." It bugs me no one cares on people SPAMing, putting GIGO, Junk, on the Bitcoin Timechain because it's forever and all those nodes...never mind I guess?

One thing holding me back on NOSTR is the search. I spent my entire career in data/reporting so I view all posts as database entries to go back and 'mine' words, Dorsey's, yours, and mine. For instance, I painstakingly wrote up notes on Saylor explaining the 5 types of investors in Bitcoin. Going to the transcript, reformatting it, etc. I remember it had Denier and Skeptic in it but I can't find it using any client search inside NOSTR or using "The Google." For 2025, I would like to not renew my blue check on Twitter but it is impossible for me to be limited on my posts (TLDR) and some of us need the search. I know, I know, everyone likes to think what they post today is earth shattering but I really, really like to go back to what has been said the past almost 16 years in Bitcoin and last almost 4(?) on NOSTR. Huge Fan of NOSTR and I am patient as Hell. Some of us were around when the Internet was being built: "404 Page Not Found - Site Under Construction"
