You THINK you want Real Estate. But you don't. You actually want Bitcoin. Here's why (in 750 floating seconds) Let's help educate the masses.

The problem with fiat is it isn’t a very fun or fair game. All games require a minimum level of fairness and fun for players to be willing to continue playing. If it’s only fun for the game runners, the game players will leave for a better one.

#Bitcoin is the currency of truth

Bitcoin is money It will eventually be what all energy exporters demand for payment, regardless of whether they are dictators or democrats

An open letter to @ProfSteveKeen regarding your recent comments about Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. Respectfully, I have listened to your comments on Bitcoin mining and it is very clear that you have no understanding of how Bitcoin mining works. This is not a hill you I believe you should be seeing your reputation die on. Specifically it is very clear that you have no understanding that it is a flexible user of energy that does not rival other energy users for its power, no understanding of the well established ability Bitcoin mining uniquely has to monetize otherwise wasted renewable energy, no understanding of how Bitcoin mining obviates gas peaker plants, and no understanding of the unique role Bitcoin mining is playing in methane mitigation. You also appear not to understand that these facts are not some pot pouri of greenwashing claims from "Bitcoin supporters" looking to defend their assetclass but datapoints that have been repeatedly established in 24 peer reviewed journals, and 8 independent reports (including Cambridge University) Your characterization of Bitcoin supporters as not understanding the interrelationship between global warming and energy dynamics is as patronizing as it is a reconfirmation of your own lack of research, given there are a number of committed environmentalists, climatetech investors and climate scientists who are avid supporters of Bitcoin mining precisely because it already can and is incentivizing renewable energy transition and methane mitigation at scale. You also appear ignorant of the fact that the first generation research on Bitcoin mining that suggested environmental harm was debunked in peer reviewed study in 2023 and that is why the media has not quoted this study since. Finally your contention that Bitcoin is "going to zero" because mining will become unprofitable shows again an appalling lack of basic understanding of the economics of Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining companies are able to earn ancillary revenue through any number of means, they may be vertically integrated, they may mine using last-gen machines on stranded solar/wind, they may mine offgrid on otherwise wasted power sources such as landfills of oil&gas fields, they may be nation states such as Bhutan using Bitcoin mining on their otherwise surplus hydro energy. These unique abilities of Bitcoin miners mean that far from being at risk, Bitcoin mining is by far the most resilience industry in the face of rising energy prices. The mere fact that Bitcoin mining exists and is growing in EU despite already very high energy prices is proof of Bitcoin miners' resilience to rising energy costs that affect other industries far more. Your opposition to Bitcoin, and Bitcoin mining, appears more motivated by regret aversion, a well documented psychological phenomenon where someone who "misses out" rationalizes that "there was nothing to miss out on" rather than engage in genuine intellectual curiosity and humility by revisiting their decision, and this is leading you to invest an inordinately large amount of time dismissing a technology you have made an inordinately small amount of time trying to understand. When someone of your standing in the field of economics talks so dismissively about a domain they have spent so little time seeking to understand, it does not weaken that domain, rather it weakened 1. your reputation 2. people's general trust in economists 3. the extend to which we esteem people in society with the title "professor" If you want to continue to erode the reputation of all three, you are welcome to do so. Bitcoin does not care. Bitcoin miners will continue to stabilize grids, monetize wasted renewable energy, mitigate methane, obviate the need for gas peaker plants with or without you. But if you ever decide to re-allocate a small fraction of the hours you have spend dismissing Bitcoin mining into understanding how the technology works that you are dismissing, I would be more than happy to connect you to any number of utilities, renewable energy experts, methane mitigation specialists, climate scientists, climatetech investors or battery engineers who can explain to you why Bitcoin is an essential part of solving the exact issues you claim to care about.

This is the game theory of broken money. Many iterations of the wine makers paradox. The tragedy of the commons. If money was bound by energy, it would reflect common equity in all things, and humans would follow the incentives to protect their equity. Cause and effect. Karma

I believe in Bitcoin because I spent ten years studying it from every angle possible, and I’ve also spent 20 years watching trending technologies, and I was personally screwed by inflation, and I studied money and how it constantly decays, and I studied macro economics, and I can see direct causal relationships between the current money system and all of the problems in the world, and I can see how Bitcoin directly solves these problems (all of them) at the core, and I know that every analog system we’ve created at the infrastructure layer of civilization eventually advances into digital form, and I’ve spent forty years seeing the recurring patterns of humanity from a social and power structure perspective, and I’ve studied and understand game theory and incentive structures and I know that the network effects of Bitcoin and its current growth trajectory will enforce the game theory built into the protocol. Bitcoin’s continued adoption is guaranteed at this point.

Broken money artificially taxes time. Scarce money prices time truthfully.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Jeff Booth says “A debt based monetary system cannot work without concentrating all power in very few people who tell you what you get.” “There has to be more fear, coercion, control, surveillance to keep you in that system because it’s not natural.”

The Cost Of Our Inheritance: A Generation's Vision For Ethical Money One of the most personal and important keynotes I've ever given on broken money, generational injustice, and Bitcoin as our moral imperative. The future isn't something we wait for, it's something we build ✊

Cultures have many differing views of morality, but all around the world and for thousands of years, being truthful is arguably the most common one. A culture cannot long persist on falsities. On open lying. This cycle ends only when truth becomes principal currency again.

It is all theater and not for your pleasure but rather to distract you while they endlessly print money, take it for themselves, then drive up prices of everything before you ever have a chance to catch up, catch your breath and to keep you in an endless cycle of survival.
