Fantastic post as always Daniel. This is exactly why I try to focus at least 50% of the posts on my Substack on how Bitcoin interacts with the energy sector. I suspect even most Bitcoiners have no clue how beneficial it is for grids macro and micro. This is why I think Bitcoin is inevitable. It does things - in both energy and money - that nothing else can do. Everybody needs it, and they are beginning to realize...

Bitcoin and the energy sector is a big win. I held multiple meetings in Jordan to try and convince them that bitcoin can actually be a huge boost to their grid, they did not buy it. They have soooo much energy the lose a ton of money earthing it. It’s such a weird situation. If the plug in some bitcoin miners they it will really help them out. But every time I mentioned this they kept thinking I want subsidies and got rejected.
I think it's a similar problem in many areas of Bitcoin. The well has been sufficiently poisoned - by scammers and FUD - that people have that negative association and defensiveness against it, no matter what the facts may be. Fear and curiosity cannot co-exist, and folks have been told to be scared. I suggest we call this The Curse of the Bitcoiner going forward. 😉 If they would let their guard down for just a moment.....
