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. image

You’re not wrong, but thankfully the optimist in me sees that this will only get more obvious over time to others. In the meantime, we’re protected from all the insane and unnecessary chaos because we understood it earlier than others. h/t goes out again to @Jeff Booth for clarifying this and providing the language and conceptual framework that my early intuition in all this had already grasped. Looking forward to seeing you again @Nic ⛄ at @BTC Sessions next Calgary Bitcoin SATSmarket! It’s been a while.
I'm optimistic when it comes down to my personal life & the world in general. However, when looking at the Canadian landscape, I'm only pessimistic. When stepping outside of my Bitcoin circle, everyone seems asleep at the wheels, unable to escape the mental prison they are stuck in. I truly hope you're right. Looking forward to the next meetup!

Great point, but that would require rational thought. Not sure most governments have that in them 😂
