Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we pit nations against Bitcoin’s might! In “USA vs UK | Bitcoin Strategic Reserve,” we compare the UK and USA’s BTC game—holdings, issuance power, and strategic wins.
What’s Covered:
Holdings: UK owns 0.29% of BTC supply, USA ~1%—small stakes, big stakes.
Issuance Power: UK mines ~0% (no hashpower), USA mines 40%—raking in fees and rewards.
Economic Flow: UK leaks wealth, USA gains—BTC as unit of account reveals all.
Energy Edge: USA’s mining monetizes grids, stabilizes demand—UK misses out.
Defense Play: ASICs as cybersecurity—USA’s grid resilience vs. UK’s lag.
Key Insights:
UK’s loss: Near-zero mining = no BTC inflow, pure leakage.
USA’s win: 40% hashpower = 40% of BTC payouts—economic power.
Grid future: USA’s miners bolster energy and security—UK’s asleep.
Why Watch:
See why USA thrives and UK stumbles in Bitcoin’s world.
Finance, policy, energy—BTC’s reshaping nations now!

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place for you to learn anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals and the fundamentals of Bitcoin are electricity is converted through Bitcoin mining machines into compute and that compute adds Bitcoin blocks to the chain and what is issued in that process Bitcoin and so we have these three core Commodities of energy compute and finance as in Bitcoin database units and they are all mathematically linked together and this is important in the context of today’s video about the US strategic reserve and for example I’ve made a comparison between the UK and the USA so right now the UK has 61,000 Bitcoin which is. 29% of the total 21 million and the USA has 23,000 Bitcoin which is about roughly 1% now this is where it gets interesting okay the countries of the world all race to accumulate Bitcoin the data money on the blockchain what happens the price in dollar terms races up but the production flaw stays the same or relatively tries to keep up at the rate of physical infrastructure of of well load Center sites of energy being consumed to produce compute which means loads of microchips from China so there is this massive race underneath the price of Bitcoin that any significant accumulation from countries is only going to widen the gap between price and production and that that Gap is what miners will Arbitrage and this is where it gets interesting what percentage of this hash rate is in the USA this isn’t a quiz it’s 40% it’s 40% in the UK I’m going to politely write zero because it’s pretty much zero now this is interestingly in a Bitcoin unit of account approach this is more strategically significant You could argue than this why well this is the amount of subsidy being distributed per 144 blocks which is one day and every 210,000 blocks that cuts in half the harving event which happens every four years and it halves again halves again 100 years later there is no Bitcoin being issued as subsidy and that full 21 million has been distributed and it gets distributed through uh compute power so right now the UK has none so it’s not earning any of this and the and the USA is capturing 40% because it produces 40% of the hash rate so it’s earning approximately 40% of the Bitcoin and this is important because the other component of subsidy is fees and fees are effectively a redistribution in the Bitcoin system it’s inefficiency paying to efficiency and what I mean by that is fees represent some form of consumption I send you uh $100 worth of bitcoin I pay a $1 fee that fee along with all the other fees and the volume is much larger than the small fee that’s paid and redistributed to those producing compute and so if the USA has 40% of the compute all they’re capturing 40% of transaction fees the UK is not why is this important well you pay Bitcoin to pay a fee and so there is a natural economic leakage when you consider the UK side of things where we hold a load of Bitcoin but it can only be spent and yes it’s powerful in of itself it holds all this economic power over these two Commodities that are continually expanding underneath this fixed quantity of Bitcoin to reprice the Bitcoin in Greater quantities of electricity and compute now what’s important for here is although they own 1% % of the supply of Bitcoin they are redistributing the network is redistributing Bitcoin through fees and subsidy on top of that and the US is collecting 40% of it so uh the US is experiencing economic inflow because it it in a sense it holds more Bitcoin um in greater amount in quantity yes but it’s also accumulating 40% of what is continually redistributed in the system and as we transition away from subsidy and more onto fees and fees represent people of the world all sending and receiving Bitcoin and those fees are essentially a red redistribution mechanism based on efficiency well the US is uh sorry the UK is is going to really suffer because we don’t we don’t produce compute as a as a country in a sense and so we are suffering economic leakage whilst the US is uh experiencing in the benefit of economic inflow so the approach of this video is I’m trying to say that the US strategic Reserve needs to consider the amount of Bitcoin it holds but also the amount of issuance power because that’s essentially what compute power is it’s issuance because with Bitcoin you pay to store your transaction in a block when you produce compute power you produce the blocks you decide what goes in a block you hold the pen of the accounting system for 10 minutes and that ability to issue uh new Bitcoin into circulation and settle people’s transactions or settle your own transactions in your own country that may be the the path of Bitcoin mining pools whether you’re for or against that that would be the case because they will want to retain issuance power within the network and this is why Bitcoin mining is decentralized it’s smashing the central banking system issuance power into a thousand pieces and people are picking it up in 144 blocks per day and the third component of this is well um Bitcoin miners uh representative here as 800 xash of compute multiplied by 23.5 Jew per terahash that is converting xash into megawatts which comes up with 18.8 gws when you make it even larger in the units 18.8 gaw that is an insane amount of power that’s the uh Power of an entire country as the news and media like to say which means that there’s an entire country’s worth of energy infrastructure under this network all across the world and uh well the US is continually building this out the US is 40% of that uh approximately and the UK is not so they are not getting the benefits of grid stability that the miners can offer because mining is is buy energy sell Bitcoin because you’ve turned the computer on and consume that power that you purchased but inversely they can sell the power and buy the Bitcoin with the machine off they’ve sold the power so they’ve sold the power back to someone else on the grid but the computer there in the first place is what allows them to get that power contract and these pieces are very important because it requires uh it requires Bitcoin mining to be local because that’s where it is bit Bitcoin mining is loc local and the blockchain is global and all these different pieces ensure that you have um currency units which um if you have compute power you’re earning the issuance of the global monetary Network to your local country so right now obviously the UK is suffering Bitcoin unit of account economic leakage and the US has the benefit of 40% of all the fees going to them but they also have the grid stability aspect of um all the 40% of this power effectively being um available to be sold at that theoretical amount not every minor is able to sell power but I do see that path in terms of a strategic Bitcoin Reserve acknowledging the energy and compute layers of the network to use the the cryptography and security of the Bitcoin blockchain as a communication system to miners all across a country and actively they can coordinate demand response together on an electrical grid pay them for it they’ll do it it’s a it’s just computers that can under and overclock with their power you could design uh an electricity grid that could be hit by a missile and the second there’s some form of surge or drop in power you have the machines manage manage that that fluctuation to a grid that’s the extreme sense but you could also have it in the sense that if there’s a massive amount of solar you’ve got all these machines that absolutely crank up to the max to consume that excess power because from the energy side of things Bitcoin is effectively a recycling system it’s a mycelium network of energy and finance but it’s a recycling system for wasted energy all you need is a computer with an internet connection to to produce the digital money and a local energy connection so it’s local energy connected to Global Finance so yes it’s strategically important to store and own the digital monetary units that reference the entire under Ling Network and priced against energy at the rate of issuance per day and and settlement fees against that amount of energy and as more energy joins the network the price of energy gets cheaper so who doesn’t want stabilized energy on their local electricity grid which produces and issues and collects Global monetary fees as a redistribution system of a fixed Supply monetary unit where there’s only 21 million and your country already owns for my case 61,000 the US is in a massively strategic position to continue its path and all it needs to do is coordinate these underlying layers I don’t think the US government should uh effectively mine Bitcoin Beyond producing a few blocks themselves um maybe they run a mining pool there’s U there’s going to be lots of uh happiness and unhappiness about these sorts of Integrations but Bitcoin is effectively for everyone um freedom of speech it’s can your enemy say something you don’t like don’t agree with um and if it’s in your country that Civil Society so to speak when you start breaking that down such as pausing the Swift payments system in every country realizing oh we can’t trust this anymore um the veils dropped um and then you’ve got countries coordinating some form of gold token or whatever it is um but here’s the problem you can’t if if someone sends you a gold token how do you know the gold is in the vault there is no mathematical or physics connection between the physical Atomic chunk of gold in a vault and your digital token there is only two Commodities directly that are digitally native but physically proven Bitcoin and through compute power the very cost of spending energy to Brute Force crack the next block in the chain is what allows you to um prove the the amount of Bitcoin that you’ve mined in a block because you’ve spent the energy Brute Force cracking it so there’s a direct uh alignment between local energy being consumed and Global money being produced and the analogy I’d like to help you remember that forever is uh if you meet a friend that’s just had a child you see they had a child you didn’t need to you know they did something shall we say you didn’t need to see that part you saw they have a child so there’s it’s the proof of work so to speak so Bitcoin does the same in the sense that there is proof that energy has been expended to produce compute which produces that Bitcoin and that’s a memorable way to to think of it so in terms of us strategic Reserve as a recap the Bitcoin uh Network being 40% uh redistributed to the US versus 0% to the UK it means my country is suffering economic leakage in our Bitcoin unit of account and the US is continually accumulating more Bitcoin over time whether it’s to their citizens or investors um or the country level but I would I wouldn’t be surprised if they do dive into Bitcoin mining just for that ability to produce a couple blocks um and and that that settlement space being very critical to say um future grid systems that use the cyber security applications of compute in the middle as a way of securing the electricity grid by uh the the the the control systems of the grid only being communicated through the Bitcoin blockchain and all of that stability of um those machines being able to dynamically change the amount of energy that they use to stabilize the grids that have lots of Renewables on them I think that was a different sort of approach for a US strategic Reserve to include compute power but here we are I hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake Scandan i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities and what is underneath the Bitcoin price and Bitcoin in of itself it’s got its blockchain it’s got compute power Bitcoin mining electricity and energy production and all of these different technologies and commodities expand out into all manner of different subjects but the topic of today’s video is just going to delve into a direct comparison about the two paths to the same destination do you grow your own food or buy it in the shop do you mine your own Bitcoin or do you purchase it from an exchange platform or I don’t know a friend um and so the first key comparison to understand here is that Bitcoin mining is an exchange rate converting electricity through a computer into Bitcoin and there’s a reason I’ve said exchange rate and we’ll get to get to that at the end of the video it’s a very interesting way of understanding Bitcoin that not many people talk about and the other side of things the fiat to Bitcoin exchange rate with dollars or pounds or all these other different national currencies where you just log into a platform and buy Bitcoin that is a transfer of ownership in space and Bitcoin mining is a yield accumulation strategy of Bitcoin over time and so let’s draw that key comparison in between mining and buying so what I have here is on the x- axis time say one year two year three year and the quantity here is uh the amount of bitcoin one bitcoin here is this dashed line and bitcoin is a form of money on a database the blockchain which is timeless it’s only updated by additional blocks found by bitcoin miners and they are moving around uh the bitcoin that people instruct them to move around that’s the settlement aspect of the Bitcoin blockchain the data inside these blocks um are transactions and those pay fees that’s one component of miners revenue the other component is subsidy everyone’s heard of that full supply of 21 million units well it has to be distributed in approximate 10-minute blocks until that full supply of 21 million is distributed and so Bitcoin miners earn a quantity of Bitcoin over time and for example let’s just say you purchased one Bitcoin’s worth of Bitcoin mining machines well you would start with zero Bitcoin in time maybe an X amount of months so it wouldn’t be exactly from from day one you would uh earn a quantity of Bitcoin and that objective goal to mine Bitcoin versus buy is to accumulate a greater quantity than what you could have just purchased in Bitcoin in the first place this is why producers produce they want to have a lower cost of acquisition or sell it into the market so to speak and if you are the producer you are effectively being more efficient and that’s the key thing here with Bitcoin mining you need access to electricity under 8 76 5 cents per kilowatt hour you need to purchase machines in relative amount of size you need to look at the electrical billing uptime uh in terms of if you are doing it hosted who are you hosting it with if you’re doing it yourself do you have the technical electrical knowledge to learn do you want to start with a smaller item like a a Bitcoin mini miner like a Bitax or one of these home miners which are sort of very plugandplay but those are the sort of things that are um hobby miners where they’re not the price is never you’re never going to achieve this and so they are more educational tools when it comes to larger scale institutional mining they are doing economic mining which is buy energy low and sell it high as Bitcoin or hold it and so let’s look at some of the the comparisons between the two so the first the first thing to understand is Bitcoin is timeless timeless but Bitcoin mining machines it’s a physical good it eventually breaks it’s replaced by newer versions of its of its own machines the difficulty adjustment is continually making the the percentage of the pie of network revenue that you earn smaller and smaller and this is because more competition is joining the network so to speak and the the quantity of Bitcoin per block per day even is getting less and less and so you’re essentially experiencing as a Bitcoin miner this transition uh of earning a smaller quantity of Bitcoin but has a higher dollar and electrical value in terms of its cost and fiat premium price and the other interesting thing about Bitcoin mining is that this line here is a demonstration of profit so that’s to say that you’ve produced a quantity of bitcoin and uh paid the electrical bill by selling bitcoin that is one option where uh the demonstration of that is you’ve mined x quantity of bitcoin and you’ve sold whatever percentage of that to pay the energy bill so to speak the other option is you pay that with additional dollars and that would be keeping the entire quantity of revenue of all the bitcoin you mine and paying the bill with dollars which essentially means you purchase more bitcoin so this this one bitcoin analogy of spending one bitcoin on mining machines every month of billing you’re continually increasing this uh threshold so to speak and so with profit you’re you’re obviously gaining a greater quantity of Bitcoin because you’ve purchased you’ve effectively purchased the Bitcoin by paying the bill with dollars and this also means that Bitcoin mining provides the opportunity of DCA dollar cost averaging essentially where you are also buying the Bitcoin you would have had to sell to pay the electrical bill which means that mining has the benefit of being able to buy Bitcoin through the electrical bill without fees there’s no fee you’re not going into a platform KYC AML and all the other bits and layers and 24-hour cooling down period and whatever else no and what you would have is in effect is this curve would be even steeper but you would be chasing this upper bound line and that intersect is when you’ve effectively mined more Bitcoin than what you could have just purchased in the first place and you’ve got to understand that Bitcoin miners are the hardest believers of Bitcoin because they don’t buy Bitcoin directly they invest in the network they plant their computational seeds and uh wait for wait for the fruit to bear so to speak um and to hold it over time and so yeah the one of the key takeaways here is you’ve got this acquisition method of buying which is the straightforward 99% experience of the majority of people which is to log into a platform pay a small fee and buy a whole Bitcoin as this example goes which is over time that does not change you’ve bought it in space and it preserves value over time when you produce Bitcoin as a minor you’re earning Bitcoin as a yield an intrinsic source of yield from the network itself by settling transactions and earning that freshly mined Bitcoin the subsidy and that benefit of Bitcoin mining is that you are able to buy some Bitcoin without a fee by DCA buying the the the essentially paying the electrical bill with dollars so that you keep the entire stack of Bitcoin that you’ve mined and another interesting thing to understand of why at the beginning I said that Bitcoin mining is an exchange rate is because say for example gold mining is spending1 to $2,000 processing rock to get that 1 ounce of gold which is maybe $2 to $3,000 even more or you know the profit margin between processing a load of rock to earn and extract an ounce of gold you can’t reverse that process you can’t sell that rock for its uh gold value but with Bitcoin you can it’s a reversible trade bitcoin miners are buying energy producing Bitcoin and selling it as a commodity producer you grow tomatoes you sell tomatoes to continue your operation but this is the interesting thing bitcoin mining is an economic user of the energy and the fact that it’s a it’s electricity being converted into a quantity of money this creates a direct exchange rate because these are mathematically connected energy comput and finance are mathematically connected and if you’re interested in this sort of stuff go into the other videos on this channel they delve into the mathematics side of this and the other way round is well if the electricity on the local grid is worth more by consumers that want to pay to buy the energy why mine the Bitcoin sell the power and switch it off to to deliver that power back to uh buyers now in the future on a Bitcoin unit of account what do you think the best currency to trade transact and settle uh payments for electricity will be when you’ve got a consumer of energy Bitcoin miners that are continually seeking to sell their power that arbitrage revenue rate of producing Bitcoin it’s going to be Bitcoin miners why well it’s because Bitcoin miners are delving deeper and deeper into the energy sector seeking to produce their own power as the scale of this industry of Bitcoin mining is in the gigawatt scale we’ve all seen the reports of Bitcoin mining consumes and wastes the energy of an entire nation no there’s an an entire country’s worth of electrical infrastructure built out across the planet and if people don’t think that that’s at least half valuable and that the next sta stage of that is that they branch out and build their own electrical grids and define the price on a Bitcoin unit of account where Bitcoin in of itself has a production cost that continually goes up over time flip it the other way around if you can use your Bitcoin as a consumption commodity to pay for electricity well it means that buyers hold an asset which can buy electricity from the miners that seek to convert the electricity into Bitcoin i’ll say it again bitcoin allows you to buy electricity from comput from miners the capacity of energy they have available and Bitcoin miners have the ability to have that capacity of consuming energy to produce Bitcoin it’s a circular system of energy compute with energy and finance with compute as that internal medium of exchange between these two very important worlds right i’ve gone on a bit of a tangent but the overall gist here is that mining is very specific to people with the technical electrical and financial uh access to do so if you want to start with mining start with a very simple thing like a Bit Axe mini miner or one of these plugandplay ones that may have it connected to a node and go through the process go through it in an educational approach and then start delving into the economics aspect of scaled mining if you’re interested in that sort of thing drop me a message if you want to delve into the economic approach of mining or trying to ask questions about hosted mining or the public miners uh I’m open to questions on those sorts of things and on the buying side is uh we’re seeing the reserves on exchanges continually in decline uh I do have a concern that they’re going to take more risk because if their reserves are continually in decline because people pulling the Bitcoin off not your keys not your coins as they say which is that that harsh lesson that many people have learned that if you trust other people with your Bitcoin that uh well they have the ability to spend it and you don’t because you need to be holding your own private keys that most important piece of data which allows you to unlock that little uh digital encrypted vault defended by energy on a planetary scale thank you for listening i hope you enjoy like subscribe send it to the group chat and I will see you in the next one goodbye

🚨 Trump Tariffs VS Bitcoin Mining! ⛏️ | Hashpower Academy
Youtube VideosTrump’s tariffs are shaking up Bitcoin mining—big time! I unpack how tariffs spike import costs, flipping just-in-time supply chains from China (think Bitmain, Whatsminer) to just-in-case near-shoring.
But here’s the twist: miners don’t need the US! They chase cheap energy and internet anywhere—tariffs can’t stop that. We dive into efficiencies, energy prices on a Bitcoin unit of account, and why fiat’s grip weakens.
Are tariffs a bust for BTC mining—or a Hidden boost? Watch to find out!

Video Transcript:
well it seems that Donald Trump has kicked up quite a financial energy and compute storm because he has applied tariffs to the world reciprocal tariffs in relation to the uh amount of import export difference between countries and in the context of Bitcoin mining has done a few interesting things both on the producer of Bitcoin AS6 such as Bitmain and Watts Miner but also the consumers of those A6 Bitcoin miners who are seeking to purchase machines in bulk get them at a cheap price and so some form of percentage increase on top of the cost to buy mining machines that could go from 34% up to 60% plus What this does is it changes the economics of Bitcoin mining in the sense of the capex of buying the most expensive part of deploying a mining operation which is the machines And what this is going to do to the decision-m of where to deploy these machines a physical computer that needs to connect to local energy and an internet to export that energy and produce Bitcoin blocks in the world of global finance And what this means for those Bitcoin miners is they have that choice of whether to import machines into the US or to find other places in the world to deploy those computers But also what if that the fact that the US has such great access to energy and geopolitical safety versus uh the lead times to get something else set up in another location another country and other different risk factors on top of that or the grid stability might not be the same There’s all these different moving parts that’s really uh ripping up the script of mining economics But let’s start with this If import right now getting getting machines into the US costs 34% What it does is the the machines that are already available to be purchased through hardware sellers Well they’re going to make some short-term income because the price of machines available to buy in the US are going to go up So if you’re looking to get machines now’s the time if you’re in the US And on the other side of this the producers of those machines the the planet and we could basically say China with this everything with manufacturing has shifted towards China They’ve massively subsidized their input costs for manufacturing at a at a national level And so all of their companies can heavily out compete just about everyone else in the world across the board with just about everything And what this has done is shifted our uh approach to globalized trade from uh more localbased production such as here in the UK We used to produce a lot of stuff and uh I even find old things that say made in England in my grandma’s house that are from like 40 years ago but not anymore Everything’s made in China and it comes within days or weeks And so the supply chain has essentially uh shifted to just in time which means you buy it and it just appears poof Consumption at its peak embodiment uh buying something and it’s there when we need it how we need it and these sorts of tariffs They also lean on the money manipulation side of things which is countries will devalue their currency so that others can buy their currency and buy their goods to essentially stimulate export That the reason why Trump has imposed tariffs which is the cost to import is because he wants to stimulate more export in his country And on the other side of things that export stimulation is these manufacturers such as Bitmain and Watts miner wanting to potentially explore the idea of producing Bitcoin AS6 in the US And so we sort of shift to a a supply chain of just in case that is having multiple different locations to produce the same thing And so you’re hedged with the risk of if you have two different supply chains for the same good well you have more opportunity that if one supply chain has a problem that the other one has uh availability for you And this was very evident during COVID where uh just about everything is produced in China And so when we all need we didn’t really need them but when we needed face masks um and the the backlog and costs to actually find them because no one could produce them because it all got produced pretty much in the same sort of places And when they all shut down everyone realized that they couldn’t really produce anything anymore This also goes on another tangent related to defense that no one really produces the steel and the uh the conversion of that steel into into armor and machinery for for warfare Well uh if you don’t produce anything you don’t you’re depending on others If you don’t produce any food you’re depending on others And that’s the sort of um global collective globalized world sort of thing And with the pendulum has really swung in that direction and it does feel that we are swinging back to more uh nationalization of producing food producing your own money potentially you know bitcoin mining and yeah the the just in case is hedging your risks and from the producer side that’s nearshoring which is moving your production into the US so that you don’t have to pay those tariffs and the reason why Trump can do this at such an extreme level is because the US dollar is the n is the world’s reserve currency and the biggest buyer of bitcoin mining hardware is the US The biggest buyer across the world for many things is the US because they issue the money and goods and services move in the opposite direction of money If you are a producer you send out goods receive money If you are a consumer you pay money receive goods and consume them And what this is going to do in terms of uh different locations on the the Bitcoin miner side is their access their access to power is uh a lead time problem I mentioned maybe just before if you produce um power then great If you produce power outside the US now’s the time because the premiums for buying machines in the USA are going to go up whilst uh machines potentially will go at a discount So we’ll draw this in just for for easy numbers that yeah the the price of machines are going to be very expensive but here around the world they might have a discount because if there’s less demand from the the key purchase the the key manufacturers um selling machines in in majority to the US if that buyer drops out then there’s a a greater supply of machines and and less demand potentially so the prices will drop outside of the US and then that location aspect of things If a Bitcoin miner is a person that has a very global perspective on where they want to be to produce uh or access energy and produce compute to produce Bitcoin that’s their business They might decide to go to places such as Paraguay and other different areas that have an access to power And um yes there’s more there’s more geopolitical risk in those sorts of areas versus the safety of the USA but Trump’s really making things interesting And the other thing is this the more old inefficient machines are cheaper in price So there might be a more justified approach to to send really old lowpriced machines and yes they’ll get tariffed at a high tax rate so to speak but if they’re really really cheap in of themselves and you have access to electricity in the US that’s the only combination because the more efficient the machine the higher the dollar per terahash rate for example the most latest generation machines could be $25 per terahash and that’s producing a quantity of bitcoin but the most the oldest uh least efficient machines could be $2.5 per terahash So if you have cheap or near free power because you produce it yourself now’s the time to get an old machine And also that slowdown of the amount of machines going into the US and being deployed might actually slow down the growth of network hash rate So if the Bitcoin price beyond these geopolitical tensions were to take off hash rate won’t keep won’t hash rate won’t come online as quickly and you’ll see everyone that does have Bitcoin mining compute deployed such as the existing Bitcoin miners They’re going to receive a greater quantity of income relative to more hash rate potentially coming online if tariffs didn’t exist And overall you’ve got this aspect of if the US is the world reserve currency and the ability for any nation to for well essentially forex is that exchange rate between countries of import and export between them and the the exchange rate of their national currencies between different national currencies is is understanding well how much economic flow and relationship between those nations And again if the US is the world reserve currency they are constantly sending out dollars and receiving goods but also nearshoring the manufacturers having manufacturers come into the US on the microchip side of things on the energy production side of things Um all of those different uh manufacturers create closer more circular economies which is another interesting aspect of what Bitcoin is doing that we are creating more closer more intimate circular economies between production and consumption whether it’s electricity and Bitcoin mining or the financial aspects of things and there’s so many different moving parts to this but the key thing is this if you are a Bitcoin miner you’re looking at an extra cost on the most expensive part of your operation ation the machines versus the the cost to deploy the energy the energy infrastructure or just you know transformers and switch gear which are the key components u between the source of power and the actual mining machines themselves the internet side of this is uh is free because uh this this is all on the this is all an issue on the physical side of Bitcoin which is energy electrical infrastructure and the computers themselves everything on the digital side there’s there’s no import export costs on the on the uh digital side of Bitcoin so that access and location these become the key pieces because if uh if the world reserve currency status was to change with the US but they also had nearshored lots manufacturing That would be a very interesting dynamic But a final takeaway I think is this Bitcoin introduces a world where energy has a standardized price And what I mean by that is two identical Bitcoin mining machines one in the US taxed at 34% or somewhere else in the world two identical machines produced by the same manufacturer approximately the same uh name plate hash rate they are going to consume about the same electricity They’re going to produce about the same compute and produce about the same amount of Bitcoin So their pricing system between that global financial consumption of block rewards Bitcoin fees and subsidy um is the same for both computers from the the the block reward level down to the hash rate level down to the the quantity of energy consumed So what Bitcoin does is actually standardize a global price for energy I use the example of two machines that are the same If you have a more efficient machine that price goes up Less efficient machine the price goes down of Bitcoin per kilowatt And so if you have a standardized price for energy it means that manufacturers uh and producers of goods and services that need a lot of electricity when they’re looking at the world as to that access to electricity and electricity potentially being on a Bitcoin unit of account in the future this sort of interplay of global power money and politics would be a little bit more efficient because if the same the same energy is accessible for the same price just about anywhere in the world relative to the the local efficiency of the computers consuming it as that uh first and last buyer of that energy we’re going to enter a more efficient world where where companies have to be productive and offer other different incentives instead of taxation on the import export dynamic And if we are all trading in a world where the costs to produce things are all the same it just removes the inefficient aspects of trade where things are being moved around just because of these sorts of taxation games I think I’ll leave it there I think I’ve talked all different things here Um but the key takeaway is uh this is a very interesting power play where he is nearshoring manufacturing still exporting the dollar bond yields are dropping which is also another financial issue the the debt burden of the US to constantly pay and roll over its debt um at lower interest rates that’s also a potential so this is quite a smart move I will give him that um but in the future on a Bitcoin unit account I think tariffs will be far less less effective if the cost of energy is standardized at a global price based on your local efficiency Thank you for listening I hope you enjoy and I’ll see you in the next one

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin now the topic of today’s video is not so much a directly educational Nation some interesting aspects to do with Bitcoin but actually a more zoomed out personal development approach that’s obviously going to talk about Bitcoin and the key thesis behind this video is it’s time for change um if you haven’t noticed I may have cut my hair I uh had well it’s not to say I was growing my hair I just didn’t cut it and uh two years later it got all long and I just thought you know what it’s time for change and there’s all other different aspects to that that I can delve into in maybe other videos that are a bit more interpersonal but uh it does it does build on to the different topics of the Bitcoin Network energy compute and finance everything is changing everything is accelera a in um whether it’s to the individual yourself there is things in your life that you might not be acting upon and you need to because they’re only preventing you from moving forward um whether it’s positive or negative um but moving through the struggle is well moving through the storm is far better than trying to sail around it and that goes to the bigger larger scale of things we’ve got problems with our financial system there is a niche group of people bitcoiners that are trying trying to present to the world a different way that things could be could be done the compute sector is always advancing more microchips more technology more devices to distract us and slap tablets in children’s faces it’s uh there’s a lot of change there’s a lot of societal issues concerns worries and then the energy sector as as we need more energy we need to build more and the different directions on the uh uh carbon side of things that that delving into what’s the right type of energy there’s just so much change in the world it causes depression anxiety and all these other pieces um that are are the byproduct of uncertainty and that is not to say that we’re going to live in a perfectly stable World either I just feel like humanity is moving towards a better world and if we collectively all see that then there has to be something right within that within that idea I for one want to build better cool fun interesting systems um I started this YouTube channel in a sense because I wanted to provide education that I feel that was missing and the other thing about education it has to be exciting but you also need a framework you can’t just teach to The Tool uh Elon Musk famously uh talked about putting an engine block inside a classroom and showing you know nuts and bolts all bolted together and going well how do we take the bolt off oh you need a wrench so instead of teaching this is a wrench and this is what it does it’s boring you go oh you you you apply a problem and you find a solution so reverse engineering so to speak and that’s that’s the other thing about change is you recognize all the problems the the secondary problems and also the fundamental problems and I see that the key fundamental issue in society is broken money you can look at every other issue in society the change the chaos the AI uh uh attack on productivity and replacement of humans goes in every direction the change the worries the concerns but if we stick to uh hard sound money that preserves our energy into the future it truly does change culture and Society because soft money makes us spend it quicker because it’s not worth it’s we in paper tomorrow but hard money has shown historically throughout history a a an approach to seek more value in life um better quality of music of course and I don’t know where I’m actually going with this video it’s just uh yeah the overall gist of this video is it’s time for change and that that could be to you to yourself uh something in your life that you’re wanting to change and and I say this because my approach to teaching something I’ve wanted to do I’ve always thought about I want to be a teacher when I’m 50 years old but I was like why why then why not now and my my thesis with teaching has always been boiled down to this statement if I positively affect just one person then it’s all worth it so this video has not got any specific Direction but I uh I hope you enjoy thank you for listening goodbye

hello there and welcome to the HashPower Academy my name is Jake Scandan i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities now the topic of today’s video we’re going to delve into uh the the most backwards country on this earth called the United Kingdom a crazy little island on the edge of Europe and the two biggest concerns lo and behold are energy and finance which seem to be these two big topics across everything in society and represent well energy is the input to everything in society and finance is the output shall we say and the two biggest issues I can show you here in this free financial times that I got going through the airport is the financial conduct authority uh which is our financial regulator in the UK they have a warning to to young people about crypto because they uh are too concerned at the amount of people delving into things like Bitcoin and they would rather they’d rather start a five-year strategy to make shares and bonds a natural early investment because uh who wants to who wants to take risk and uh invest in owning a global monetary network based on energy uh and expanding across the planet a planetary energy currency versus hand your money to the British government which have the stupidly large debt burdens um an aged population lack of productivity in all their young people and millionaires are leaving yeah uh I don’t think earning interest on declining collapsing currency is of interest to me thank you very much uh and then the se and then the second uh issue of the day being that lack of investment in energy infrastructure heathro which is the largest airport I think in Europe in terms of how busy it is uh they uh they shut down for a whole day because uh they had a single point failure of depending on one local substation which is essentially the national electrical grid converting it down to the local energy level and the substation essentially uh had a fire and it shut down the airport and they needed to depend on it’s not very net zero but they needed to depend on diesel generators I believe to keep running the critical systems and that well energy and finance it just seems like the two key biggest issues and guess what Bitcoin is a system that interconnects the two and creates a circular economy between energy and finance yeah I’m not happy about the date of the the UK i I don’t see much prosperity here in the things that I want to to build work on and talk about such as Bitcoin and its underlying network and the well the key things that I can offer to anyone that’s a decision maker here in the UK or to anywhere in the world for that matter is what is Bitcoin it’s a currency system a unit of account on a database the blockchain but that blockchain is unique in the fact that it has a cost to produce in energy the only thing that adds more more blocks to the chain is energy through compute power and this chain of commodities and technologies from energy to finance they offer so many other different things and benefits to a country for example the UK has this massive push into net zero net zero being the approach to reduce the carbon output of a nation to zero but everything’s made of carbon hating carbon is hating yourself because we’re everything’s made of carbon it’s absurd it’s plant food and at the same time these sorts of policies cost more because it’s not a financial choice it’s a uh potential scientific theory going decades into the future the other concern there is it’s same with the monetary issue is that scientists that talk about net zero uh they get their funding but if you talk in what science is is is opening up the pallet to sort of push towards the truth um if you say anything of critique about net zero or well the scientists don’t just don’t get as much funding i’d be interested to see the funding rates of scientists based on their perspectives on that thing but the overall gist here is that net zero creates instability on our electrical grids because when the sun’s shining you get power when it’s not you don’t what if everyone’s watching the football at the same time that there’s no power being produced we have to then buy it in extreme prices from other countries um because they don’t want carbon emitting power sources and then that issue of have transferring power has cost and so we need more electrical infrastructure and as mentioned that there’s just lack of investment in the energy side of things but here’s an interesting observation what are Bitcoin miners doing they need to buy energy and sell it to a global network but also they wish to sell energy in the future where they contractually buy it from a producer which locks them into an income stream a buyer that will continually buy over time and then sell and distribute that power to other consumers that may need power at certain times and Bitcoin mining defines a price in which those machines those computers the Bitcoin miners are willing to sell that power at a higher rate if you’re earning 10 cent per kilowatt hour why would you why would you consume power at 12 cent a kilowatt the grid will buy it so it’s uh that concept of uh the value of something is what a person’s willing to to to pay for it and if the grid’s willing to pay a higher price why would the computer consuming to produce bitcoins stay on it’s just a direct conversion of energy into money there’s no business in the middle that they need to use the power for so the unique component of Bitcoin mining is that it’s a energy system and a financial system as essentially a ven diagram and compute being that piece in the middle which is just a computer that is consuming energy to produce Bitcoin and it can sell it and arbitrage the other way and that’s the key thing here is that lack of productivity which is uh probably a very key component of the financial conduct authority worried that uh money there’s economic leakage onto the internet so to speak of young people which are going to be the majority in the future if young people are investing outside the nation the only way to have that money cycle back into the nation is potentially through investing in the energy sector side of things changing to regional power pricing is something that uh I believe his name is Greg Jackson of Octopus Energy it’s an it’s an energy company here that they are uh well they’re advocating that instead of having one national price of energy which is set at the highest cost producer to have regional power pricing which is natural normal efficient the closer you are to an energy producer the cheaper your power the further away from an energy producer in the middle of the city where there’s no power production the more expensive your power it creates direct alignment between where it’s produced to where it’s consumed the closer you live to production the cheaper your power and that’s why Bitcoin miners will find their way closer and closer to production or they will seek to produce their own power and that’s the future of the Bitcoin network if you’re vertically integrated in producing your own electricity deploying your own computers on site and exporting it to the internet that’s not just that’s amazing in of itself but that’s just the that’s the first step the next step is well if a local person wants to buy that power he the miner has a very specific mathematically defined rate in which he will sell the power so electrical grid infrastructure and wiring from that site and expanding that is going to be those next steps of advanced evolution of Bitcoin mining that they are going to want to build out a root system to this network of selling power where it’s needed because if you can sell power to someone at a they demand it at a higher price in which you’re willing to consume it into a network it’s everything’s about comparison with this network it has arbitrage on the financial side of being fixed in supply so it’s going to outperform any fiat currency that is continually issued and circulated and priced against everything that is now impossibly expensive to buy such as property in the UK that young people have the steps the the steps have been massively increased that the the average salary in the UK is well pathetic versus the the cost of a house so why I mean this article literally mentions the the amount of risk associated to Bitcoin and digital assets of course the crypto side of things is where the risk is because it’s just a bunch of digital penny stocks versus Bitcoin which is an ocean of liquidity because it has a cost to produce in energy and so the key observation with this is that Bitcoin is a system expanding and deploying energy infrastructure if you observe the Bitcoin price you can go “Oh it went from from nothing up to 80 $90,000 right that’s just the financial lens of understanding it.” On the underlying network side of things you can go “Well hang on bitcoin wastess the electricity equivalent of an entire country.” No for it to for it to be able to consume the electricity of an entire nation that network had to pretty much contractually buy the electricity of an entire nation build out the infrastructure of electricity consumption for an entire nation wiring transformers and every other component associated to that that Bitcoin is a network of a decentralized state essentially decentralized in the fact that it’s all a coordination system to produce compute to produce Bitcoin and it’s deployed across the planet and it’s still working to today and it uses the energy equivalent of an entire nation um if that’s not worth inviting that sort of technology innovation of energy money into your nation state then those interested in those sorts of advancements are going to leave your country and that’s what we’re going to see in the UK on the financial side it’s millionaires and billionaires and whatever else leaving on the on anyone young with half a brain to do with technology and seeing uh trends macro trends of techn technology AI and societal changes shall we say um they’re just going to leave they’re going to find prosperity in a global wireless borderless world and it’s going to move them away from the UK at this present moment right um I think that’s the end of the video I believe um this is more of a sort of sit and talk sort of video um I hope this was an interesting sort of different approach video um hope you enjoy see you next time bye-bye

hello there and welcome to the HashPower Academy my name is Jake Scandlin i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities so the topic of today’s video is going to look at the decline in subsidy inevitably every four years the h havinging but also the amount of fees per block is really low and that is a concern to some people that the security budget the amount of bitcoin being distributed say per day in 144 blocks that’s the security budget that’s what the miners are being paid to protect the network instead of attack it and all of these sorts of pieces come into the underlying energy conversation of Bitcoin because Bitcoin is produced from electricity it’s its native commodity underneath that electricity is converted into compute converted into Bitcoin a database of money digital hard on the internet with an electrical cost from the real world to produce and these are very important pieces to this discussion because well the miners are the ones protecting the Bitcoin network and adding Bitcoin blocks to the chain now right now the difficulty of Bitcoin that is how hard it is to mine is 113.76 trillion and what you can do with the current difficulty well you can multiply it by this constant and I’ll talk about this in another video but what this gives you is the network hash rate and this is very important because the the Bitcoin software is trying to make sure that blocks are every 10 minutes it’s regulating time by understanding how much compute is issuing space so to speak with an underlying energy cost so every time you see the difficulty measured in t you can just multiply it by 7.15 and you’ll get the average network hash rate now that we’ve got this network hash rate we can multiply it by say a mining machine with an efficiency of 20 jewels per terahash um which if you multiply that out that is 16.2 16,286 megaww so that is network energy at a conversion rate of 20 jewels per tash network hash rate and the network revenue and why did we use the diff why did we use the difficulty uh metric because it is the signal amongst all of the noise the fiat price of Bitcoin is always changing fees are always changing the efficiency of Bitcoin mining hardware is always changing to the downside because lower lower jewels per terahash means less energy to produce more hash rate output uh the grid is always fluctuating in its energy usage and that continual expansion of energy and compute underneath a constrained quantity of 21 million but at a pricing system of the rate of Bitcoin being mined per day or per hour these are all very important now here’s the other thing if you want to price this um against a bitcoin we can say well 450 bitcoin is about well 450 bitcoin per day 144 blocks divide them both by 25 and you get six blocks per hour once every 10 minutes approximate and that is uh 18.75 bitcoin per hour so 16,000 megawws of power is earning 18.5 bitcoin per hour so if you divide this out the current uh exchange rate I’m going to put that there the current exchange rate of one bitcoin to energy right now and we’ve discussed this in other videos is 868 megawws per one bitcoin and you can multiply 868 by 50 $50 a megawatt and there you go you get your dollar production cost but we’re not about the dollar in this discussion everything I’ve shown you is raw uh units and maths of Bitcoin related to electricity now this is where it gets interesting the discussion of today’s video the amount of fees per block is fluctuating subsidy we’ve got it guaranteed per block distributing out over the next 100 years until there’s zero subsidy so fees inevitably take over at some point but these are all moving these are all moving the difficulty adjustment is the software itself defining its constant for the next two weeks and so what happens uh when this the next h havinging comes along now we have let’s just say that hash rate doesn’t change but hash rate has gone up hundreds of percent over the last couple years so to assume that there’s going to be more energy and more compute being priced against an even smaller quantity of bitcoin but for this example let’s just say that the network doesn’t increase which would actually increase these values even more well what you would get is a pricing system of double half the amount of Bitcoin priced against the same amount of energy if you divide uh this figure by what was it uh it’s getting smaller now 9.375 bitcoin per hour then one bitcoin is priced against 1700 megaww so that’s 1.7 million kilowatt hours that’s how much uh electricity you can buy from miners at this efficiency rate and we can keep going smaller with every haring what I’m trying to explain here is that the exchange rate of Bitcoin to electricity means that when there is no fees and just subsidy your Bitcoin allows you to buy more power because every time there’s low fees in blocks the value of your Bitcoin is higher it’s a very paradoxical way to understand Bitcoin and this is because again 450 Bitcoin is being priced across an day which divides down to 18.75 Bitcoin per hour and you divide the amount of energy in the network which is priced against this Bitcoin at a rate of 868 against 225 Bitcoin cut it in half it means for the mining side uh my energy bill my energy rate the energy usage is the same but the amount of Bitcoin I get cuts in half you’ve got to put yourself in the mindset of the person holding the Bitcoin that could potentially buy that energy flip it the other way round you’re holding a Bitcoin and now the rate in which Bitcoin is distributed um per energy consumer cuts in half it means that miner needs to consume twice as much energy for that same rate of Bitcoin and this is important in the context of Bitcoin’s energy economics because if uh the exchange rate of Bitcoin to electricity is continually being well increased to the buyer the holder what it basically means is Bitcoin in the future is a productive commodity if you have a use for electricity and you have some form of intermittent use of energy the best thing you can hold is Bitcoin because it continually gains in value in the terms of the amount of electricity that can be purchased from miners local to you because the physical constraint here is that it’s local energy being priced to global finance inversely uh if you are the producer of Bitcoin you’re consuming energy as a cost to capture some of this daily Bitcoin if the amount of fees were to massively increase uh this raises that energy price that you would now be buying less energy per Bitcoin again it’s a very paradoxical way to think of it and this is essentially what every bull market is in dollar terms the well last cycle the the amount of Bitcoin that you would earn per kilowatt went up to like 20 to 30 to 40 cents of Bitcoin per kilowatt and so the rate in which they would sell that power back to the grid is up to 40 cents which is very high and so from a dollar fiat and debt perspective Bitcoin replaces interest rates with debt money for energy prices with energy money and as I’ve as I’ve said earlier on none of this is to do with the dollar this is completely a mathematical connection of this amount of bitcoin per day divide it by 24 multiply it by the hash rate sorry difficulty um defines the hash rate from uh this constant and then from that amount of hash rate you can multiply it to understand the amount of energy in the system if you are on the mining side of this uh you would use your own conversion rate so if you have your own mining machines you would understand the rate in which you’re willing to sell energy but I’ve used an average because once you start looking at each individual miner’s exchange rate of Bitcoin to electricity a network collective uh value for their energy but a local efficiency conversion rate for their energy you think of it in the context of the amount of uh bitcoin that they will earn for their energy cost but if they have a more efficient machine they earn a greater quantity so the price in terms of energy that they’ll exchange for their bitcoin or vice versa is higher inversely uh energy producers get more older more ine well less less efficient machines and those less efficient machines enable them to uh produce Bitcoin at a lower exchange rate which means that uh if the most expensive most efficient machines are closer to energy consumption and the less efficient machines are closer to production it creates a standardized price for energy which aligns perfectly to our energy system the closer to the producer you are the cheaper the energy the closer to the consumer say the city the more expensive the energy so the energy economics behind Bitcoin are so fascinating and I think I probably probably need to write an entire course that really breaks this down piece by piece but this is to just give you an understanding that as the subsidy cuts in half the amount of uh megawws per per bitcoin increases as you decline the subsidy you increase the purchasing power of Bitcoin and this is actually why every time there’s a hinging event Bitcoin may have a dip but it goes back up to the price in dollars that the new production rate is because if the production floor say in the 2020 hing was I think it it dropped all the way down to 3 to 4,000 but the that was the production floor about 4,000 and the Haring came along and now the production cost is 8,000 so we knew in a couple months time that the new production cost would be $8,000 and if the price was sitting at 4,000 you knew that in a couple months it was going to cost you more than $8,000 to produce a Bitcoin while the price today was four time to buy you’re buying at half the rate that the future miners will be producing at and so that price if you remember just after COVID the price crashed down to 4,000 and shot straight back up to about 8,000 and then stabilized and this is this essentially demonstrates that underneath the price there is this energy economics that few people actually understand unless they delve into the mining side of things i think I’m going to stop it there the overall approach here in the sort of summary is everything to do with the energy is the noise of the network everything to do with fiat and fees they are fluctuating and variable bitcoin’s code its software in of itself has a constant in terms of its conversion to hash rate but also the difficulty adjustment is looking back 2016 blocks at the rate of how quickly in time that they are mined and understanding how much space is entering in the digital world so to speak in terms of hash rate when you take that local conversion you can multiply the hash rate and exash by the efficiency of your machine or the average of the network to understand roughly how much energy is in the Bitcoin network it’s multiple gigawatt and as you repric all this energy against a smaller quantity of Bitcoin you increase the purchasing power the value in terms of electrons that the Bitcoin can purchase now if this sustains and it’s not efficient for miners we could see hash rates switch off but what that does is repric the energy against um well less well there’s less energy priced against more Bitcoin so miners that are online start earning more because the the pie of Bitcoin starts distributing to a smaller quantity so that’s when it’s more incentivized to mine inversely you can understand that if some of this electricity gets switched off it’s using the block rewards as a pricing system but earning that income externally so if you sell to the local grid there’s some form of other aspect but this is where it gets really interesting i believe the best survival mechanism for Bitcoin is to collapse the mirror image which is now we’re showing it here as a circular economy i haven’t added time to these units other than hash rate but this pricing system of bitcoin to energy the conversion efficiency of machines and the amount of bitcoin hash rate is earning you’ve got this energy space and time sort of conundrum of how it all fits together these three are the physical components and these three are the digital aspects and what you can essentially take away from this is the blockchain and the electrical grid are essentially mirror images of each other in digital and physical form and the way Bitcoin stays alive is this circular system of connecting these two worlds and I suppose the best thing that could happen to Bitcoin to stimulate economic activity is because it has a mathematical connection to electricity that and and if the blockchain is a mirror image uh to the electrical grid why don’t we have electricity as a standardized settlement in Bitcoin blocks that they’ve got computers across every grid on the planet and you could essentially use those computers to communicate with the blockchain for its control actions of switching on and off to stabilize grids because if the pricing of energy was defined in Bitcoin blocks you now have Bitcoin’s intrinsic commodity on the blockchain in terms of its trade and settlement and its stability of grids being the very thing that monetizes Bitcoin from external buyers and sellers producing energy to produce compute to produce Bitcoin so hope this was an interesting video it might have gone a bit weird and wonderful but um I I really do think I really do think about these things and um the energy economics of Bitcoin is an entire world that um well developing developing a few things in this direction that I believe that will be intrinsically valuable to the network and the prosperity of it in the future thank you for listening hope you enjoy this video wasn’t too perfect but oh well see you in the next one

Bitcoin Mining’s Hidden Power: Energy Arbitrage! #BTCkWh | Hashpower Academy
Youtube VideosUnlock the hidden superpower of Bitcoin mining in this timeless gem! I break down how miners’ computers stabilize energy grids while stacking BTC. Here’s the secret: miners snag power cheap (low $/kWh), turn it into Bitcoin at a profit, then sell excess power back when prices spike (high grid demand). When power’s abundant and cheap, they soak it up—hyperscaling the network! This arbitrage keeps grids rock-solid, boosts energy abundance, and benefits us all. Perfect for beginners or pros—watch to see why miners are the grid’s unsung heroes!

Video Transcript:
hello there and welcome My name is Jake Scandlin and I’d like to take you through what I call the electron liquidity of the Bitcoin network or even more simply the energy exchange rate of Bitcoin Now the first piece to understand here is that the energy price on the grids is based on what’s available supply and demand We produce a certain amount of power and we all consume a certain amount of power And the 21st century completely depends on the electricity grid And so we want to keep it stable the supply and demand And that’s also reflected in price That the optimal condition of the electricity grid is that the price is reflective of stability If we have an upside of too much demand of power and a downside of too much supply of power both reflected in price These conditions create instability that could shut the grid off and that causes even more damage and problems of the world Think about all the hospitals with ICU beds that they need to stay online That’s an extremely important use of electricity But Bitcoin’s context of energy usage is an economic one Bitcoin miners will purchase electricity at an effectively lower rate because they’re buying in very large quantity and they are producing certain amount of Bitcoin with that electricity purchase But here’s the thing as I said there are an economic incentive to using electricity If the electricity price was to rise higher let’s say 25 cent a kilowatt but if they consumed it they’d only make 15 cents Why would they use the power they would switch the machines off and sell power into that demand to bring the price down Inversely the renewable energy future is creating environments where electricity goes negative not this nonsense about Bitcoin using too much energy The electricity grid sometimes has too much energy and someone needs to buy all of that excess supply to bring the price back to stability bringing the grid back to stability So Bitcoin miners will dynamically buy energy that’s cheap and will sell energy that’s expensive to bring the price of electricity back within reason And that’s why Bitcoin mining I consider to have an electron exchange rate and an energy liquidity is because they will dynamically buy power and sell power which stabilizes the grid from the upside and the downside That’s a very interesting thing because as I said we have a renewable future which is intermittent The problem with renewables is that nature is now in control of when we produce power And the grid remains stable if supply and demand are balanced But if we only get power when the sun’s shining the wind’s blowing and the water’s flowing through our hydro dams well that means we have to dynamically change how much power we use in our homes No that’s not how people live But if there is an energy customer out there that will dynamically change how much power they are buying or selling to bring the price of electricity back into stability Well that’s the perfect customer Dynamic energy supply needs dynamic energy demand An economic incentive user of electricity I hope that’s interesting Let me know your thoughts

Hyper-Decentralisation: Will Public Bitcoin Miners COLLAPSE? | Hashpower Academy
Youtube VideosHyper-Decentralisation: Will Public Bitcoin Miners COLLAPSE?
Are public Bitcoin miners doomed? These profit-driven giants—like Marathon and Riot—buy power cheap, sell BTC high, chasing efficiency to stay alive. But what happens when margins vanish? In this video, we uncover how the game flips: older ASICs switch from a profit to a focus on heat output, offsetting energy bills with Bitcoin as a bonus. Hashrate heating turns miners into home heaters, laundry dryers, and greenhouse boosters—a Trojan horse for hyper-decentralisation. Every house could “read, write, own” BTC—disrupting Wall St and miners alike! Could this collapse the big players and spark a decentralized revolution? Watch to find out!

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy My name is Jake Scandlin I’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place for you to learn anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin Starting with the fundamentals and those fundamentals are to do with the energy side of things the compute Bitcoin mining aspects and Bitcoin taught in the context of money finance and the blockchain taught last And when you go through the layers like that you have a more grounded understanding of the production process essentially of Bitcoin And who sits in the middle of that epicenter well it’s the Bitcoin miners And the topic of today’s video is hyper decentralization and potentially the collapse of the publicly listed Bitcoin miners Why the short-term answer is that Bitcoin mining is a a game of efficiency and energy availability Those are the two levers You’ve got the uptime of the machines and the performance and the ability to repair and the access to chips and all these sorts of other pieces But the two key uh metrics across all of the Bitcoin miners are what is the efficiency of their mining hardware and essentially how many blocks of Bitcoin are they capturing relative to the network what is the profitability of mining if the the dollarized price was to shoot up to really high levels and production stays low well you’re capturing a large premium of dollarized value of quantity of Bitcoin But in the bare market when price is trading closer to production you’ve really got to be efficient to survive And the whole approach here of why I believe hyper decentralization will naturally occur is this So I’m going to first explain uh just the dynamics of efficiency and from that you’ll understand the the context of hyper decentralization because it will occur when uh well Bitcoin mining compute chips are pretty much in every home and potentially a node in every home And so if you’ve got a storage system of data on top of that the three core components of read write and own would be essentially in the home how how much more decentralized can you get from that and this will occur from the world of being able to source power so potentially uh local electricity grid or producing energy yourself being able to convert some of that excess energy into compute hash power and that allows you to earn Bitcoin um through blocks to store that transaction data in your own node and your own wallet So uh I do believe that in the future someone somewhere will make a device that reintegrates all of the core components of the entire Bitcoin network the six core pieces and the three core commodities of electricity comput and Bitcoin all in a single device for the home And that will bring us to hypers decentralization Big word And the path there is truly through efficiency And let me explain why The Bitcoin miners at large industrial scale they get the economics of buying a machine at potentially half the price that you would pay at retail Now why is that important well if you spent $5,000 on one machine you’ve got one machine $5,000 and you’re now pricing that $5,000 of dollars or that quantity of Bitcoin that you paid against the potential for that single machine to produce Bitcoin We don’t even need to know the amount The point is if a large industrial scale miner can buy thousands of that same computer but at half the price he spent half the bitcoin but gets that same amount of bitcoin from that machine relative to production of compute and uptime So if he spends half the amount his his uh the rate of the quantity of bitcoin he needs to accumulate to break evenffect effectively in dollar or bitcoin terms is half the half the amount And as more time goes on the le you you earn less Bitcoin over time because it’s fewer Bitcoin being chased by more energy or dollars in that sense And so efficiency is critical for this because efficiency changes that metric of how much electrical it cost in versus Bitcoin out And so that continual purchase of new machines and they’re at higher prices Think of the latest generation iPhone The latest generation iPhone is really expensive but if you jump back five 10 generations they’re really cheap And the difference between those different generations of iPhone are the the density of transition transistors in the microchip the storage and the the processing um and features and whatever else they actually don’t put in iPhones anymore I used to be excited about the latest one coming out with new things but now it’s the same thing There’s there’s uh it’s flattened out there’s no prosperity there But here with Bitcoin mining if you bring out a new more efficient chip you now earn more Bitcoin because there’s less cost associated to the the conversion rate For example if you buy a really old machine of last generation 30 jewels of energy per terash Now you can multiply jewels and terraash by a million to change it to essentially u megawws and exahash So I have here um these figures effectively multiplied by a million but it’s the same conversion rate 23.5 it would be 23.5 megaww per xahash So I have it in an xahash figure but you can s you can use the same the same uh variable So 30 jewels per terahash um well that’s the same as saying 30 megawws per xahash and one xahash is making.56 bitcoin So um all of these comput all these three examples produce well in this a terraash but it can be an exaash So all these three computers produce $47,000 worth of bitcoin but they have three different types of electrical cost 30 megawatt 20 megawatt and 10 megawatt at 5 cent a kilowatt I know I’ve been moving all the units around but the gist is this Um the 10 jewels per terahash most efficient most expensive computer has a electrical bill of $12,000 a day versus the $47,000 of mind All three mine the same amount but have but this one being 20 jewels instead of 10 is twice as much electrical billing or three times as much electrical billing So it’s the the hash rate produces the same amount of uh the same fungeable amount of compute makes the same fungeible amount of um bitcoin and underneath the energy is changing because of efficiency and the least efficient machines are cheaper and you get this process of miners are effectively buying buying efficiency in bulk They average across all the different groups They are mining and they’re getting rid of the older more inefficient compute uh cell Now 5 cent is a very generous rate for um larger more infrastructure scale miners But let’s say residential 15 15 cent per kilowatt So you would multiply this by three which barely makes you break even You multiply this by three and you’re making a loss You multiply this by three you’re making even more of a loss And that’s the reason why as as the as time goes on the Bitcoin network is gaining more efficiency The average approximately of the network is 22 23 But as time goes on the entire pole of compute that is producing the next block in the chain is getting more efficient over time Meaning it’s a lower jewels per terahash figure and also the pricing system of those computers What happens to all the old machines what happens well the value of a computer um to produce say an electrical bill of right now say $12,000 of electrical bill to earn you $47,000 a bitcoin That’s buy low in energy sell high in Bitcoin And that is a business that generates a margin of profit and that profit cycles back into paying that machine But the overall approach of a large scale industrial miner is to make a profit Now if the electrical bill was to treble here up to 90kish or even 100 plus um versus the $47,000 worth of Bitcoin uh for every $1 of electrical spend you’re earning 50 cents of Bitcoin So the value of that machine changes The value of old less inefficient machines change from producing Bitcoin into producing heat And the heat is a subsidy because some of that heat the heat is produced Energy is neither created nor destroyed If a kilowatt of electricity goes into your computer a kilowatt of electricity comes out as as wasted heat And um yeah the value of old more inefficient cheaper chips are that they produce heat And some of that cost is subsidized because even if even if you can recoup a percentage of that electrical bill in Bitcoin because you are producing some compute power it gives a value for those old machines And so that’s what we’re going to see is um heating systems Now where do you put heating systems over half of our uh global need for energy is to produce heat And that can be in your house That could be part of your boiler system That could be uh your business of running a a laundroet You need a big large tank of hot water to to run those pipes off to the different washing machines when it needs hot water You got paying customers and it there you go as a business idea um any any business that needs heat there is ways of understanding if the economics of the cheaper less inefficient machines can subsidize some of that energy cost for that demand for heat and economically pay back some of that heat as a subsidy You’re not spending you know $100 a month on energy to make more than $100 a month in Bitcoin Maybe when there’s a really heavy bull market you’re going to earn well but it’s about combining that computer in a heating system that is part of a different other revenue stream And so what this does is you have one energy input but two energy outputs If if a farmer uses some form of heat source to stabilize the temperatures in green houses like right now it’s spring uh the fear in spring is that you you you put the seeds into the soil they start growing the shoots and then a frost comes It gets all cold and kills everything off Would the farmer justify building green houses and stabilizing the the temperatures of those green houses with heat it’s too expensive But maybe there’s a path to generate heat from compute from Bitcoin mining So now he can grow crops to their optimal or even improved yields with warmer temperatures around them and a secondary digital income stream from Bitcoin mining Now what does that do that allows for the potential of hyper decentralization the expansion of compute power into every home add on top some uh very small chips that store terabytes of data and maybe even a potential potentially part of a power system I see a path in which the old less inefficient chips from Bitcoin mining um disperse into the world and if it happens at volume and we’ve discussed in other um uh episodes shall we say on this channel that if more compute chases fewer Bitcoin um the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour drops Now a public miner is a forprofit buy energy low sell it high as Bitcoin If the Bitcoin per kilowatt were to collapse because more and more compute is joining that is not mining in an economic sense Remember buy energy low sell Bitcoin high If that profit margin collapses all of the public scale industrial miners will have to think and restrategize into exploring other forms of um combining their business with other services Yes demand response of selling and buying power to stabilize the grid That’s one heating systems with the computers But the problem with that is uh a site producing several megawws of power consuming several megawatts of power is producing several megawatts of heat You don’t need that much heat in one particular location It has to be more decentralized And so the systematic inevitability of uh ASIC design the the specific computers is getting smaller It’s going as small as a single chip down to the Bit Axe mini miner level but it’s also that’s just a single chip Um and it’s also being you know say uh half a kilowatt to a kilowatt So an electric heater in your house Um even with um the renewables side of things the carbon accounting so producing um uh electricity off-rid on an old oil well with the gas still leaking out So they have to burn it They have to burn it So capture that energy and and turn it into electricity and generate carbon credits as well So there’s all these other physical attributes of Bitcoin’s network which will generate secondary revenue streams but you can’t concentrate or should we say centralize all of those computers in one place because it limits your ability to create heating systems Um there’s other design ideas I have related to yes like oil uh like pipelines for oil that the temperature slows down the the rate of oil transfer Maybe you could run microchips along the uh the oil pipes and and sustain some warm temperature so allow the the fluids to flow more uh well flow easier There’s there’s several different things and especially on the compute side of things If you’ve got this path of design where we could potentially see the network hash rate massively increase not because large industrial scale miners are deploying but actually um millions of customers millions of homes uh producing producing their own compute It causes a level of decentralization in the network that I think just about any Bitcoiner could dream of Um and again they’re not producing compute power to generate money They’re producing heat which is subsidized with the compute power in the process which just needs a low bandwidth internet connection And so this this path to Bitcoin going to a million is well I I’ve talked about in other videos that the production floor builds a base of price in which um if the price of Bitcoin goes low um natural buyers step in because they can sell power buy bitcoin And interestingly enough say at a large scale maybe we will see people adopting sort of smart meters where the smart meters in homes um they’re not really smart and they’re more just measuring what you use energy what you use energy for because every device has a particular energy usage So as it turns on and off they sort of know what you’re using You could use Bitcoin mining to blanket mask all of that The computer uses what you’re not using So to the grid you’re using a constant rate of power and now you’ve got energy privacy There’s an idea And so all these other different pieces fall into place where I do believe that the hash rate could potentially massively increase um from just heating systems that have no economic demand to buy power sell Bitcoin at a higher rate They’re just producing Bitcoin in the process of an other of another business So it’s almost as if the root system of the Bitcoin network finding its way into different other things And the analogy I like to use for Bitcoin mining is it’s like the mcelium network And this would make public miners a large mushroom ready to burst and release all of its spores I think we’ll leave it here I think this gives you a a more interesting context that if well if a couple million several million homes were all to deploy a computer they could double quadruple the hash rate and demonetize the public miners and force them to release all of their computers and disperse them all around the world as heating systems Hope this was an interesting video Hope you enjoy and I will see you in the next one Goodbye

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of Technologies and commodities this is a short little video today just to delve into the concepts of Bitcoin mining accelerating Science Now what I mean by this is I started thinking about all of those sorts of uses of power that require a lot of power very quickly and my brain sort of delved into defense sector application such as laser weapons that need power right that second when a missile’s coming and they need a power source that’s always on but if you have a generator that’s always on you need something to consume that power and so you need something like Bitcoin mining that maybe sits in the middle between the giant laser weapon and the power source even if it’s just a battery and that energy being consumed in real time to pay for that big expensive kit that energy availability of always being able to switch the machines off and power whatever you’re needing to well to to that consumes power so to speak and that also delved me into the science direction of things which is to say uh there’s lots of experiments and tests that are always being conducted and what are their limitations well if they need a lot of energy such as lasers for nuclear fusion tests or the Hadron Collider they need stupid amounts of energy and they have to have special relationships with the the electricity grid and time when they can do it how they can do it and and how much power they can use and so I thought of it like this what if we had uh science and research locations where you had a very very large Bitcoin mining Farm let’s say one that scales to a gwatt well now you have a a location that’s consuming say one gwatt 1,000 megawatts of power and you combine that with a a research test facility that requires significant amounts of energy at particular moments in time well you just have the machines switch off and power or charge whichever it’s needing to to to to power and what that does interestingly enough is it just cuts a bit of the red tape when it comes to science that if if we have a scientific research location say in the USA dual collocated essentially with a massive Bitcoin mining Farm where that power delivery is always there and always a ailable and not so much that the um the scientific test research facility needs to constantly communicate with the grid but the minor in the middle just dynamically changes the power he uses so that the scientific research facility can massively accelerate the amount of test cycles that they can do whether it’s nuclear fusion lasers or lasers to blast missiles out the sky or the hadran collider all of these sorts of tests that push and Advance Us in the direction of more energy abundance are also fundamental to the pricing system of bitcoin’s unit of account economics of tomorrow but that just overall thought of what are the use cases of OnDemand energy because that’s what hash rate represents hash rate is just a representation a projection of underlying electricity being consumed and that is the fundamental thesis behind Bitcoin a form of men money with a cost to produce and all the other components of um compute power enabling that money to be distributed um and issued by the network so that everyone can transact peerto but I see that more as the um the fundamental on the on the monetary side of things in terms of what the money represents well it’s produced from electricity so that that cost to produce is always there but that’s detracting away from this video the overall recap compute power is a projection of underlying energy that’s available it can be switched it can be switched off and they have an exact price in a quantity of Bitcoin that the scientific research facility can pay um to to constantly switch them on and off the rate of Bitcoin they can potentially mine because it doesn’t matter if the miner has say a th000 megawatts available he could consume the power turn into into Bitcoin at a certain rate um or uh the local research facility pay the exact same quantity of Bitcoin and constantly flip the machines on on and off or a percentage of them um for that scientific research to rapidly accelerate the amount of test Cycles faster than other nations so there’s an incentive there to deploy Bitcoin mining in your nation because it can help you with your scientific side of things and if we shift away from debt money how are you going to fund the defense systems of Tomorrow such as laser based weapons well if you have an ond demand in on demand compute system that can monetize power and power your defense systems and yes I would like a Bitcoin mining farm with laser defense systems that would be uh quite an interesting uh way to go about things um yep short sweet video I hope you like subscribe enjoy and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place for you to learn anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals and the fundamentals of Bitcoin are electricity is converted through Bitcoin mining machines into compute and that compute adds Bitcoin blocks to the chain and what is issued in that process Bitcoin and so we have these three core Commodities of energy compute and finance as in Bitcoin database units and they are all mathematically linked together and this is important in the context of today’s video about the US strategic reserve and for example I’ve made a comparison between the UK and the USA so right now the UK has 61,000 Bitcoin which is. 29% of the total 21 million and the USA has 23,000 Bitcoin which is about roughly 1% now this is where it gets interesting okay the countries of the world all race to accumulate Bitcoin the data money on the blockchain what happens the price in dollar terms races up but the production flaw stays the same or relatively tries to keep up at the rate of physical infrastructure of of well load Center sites of energy being consumed to produce compute which means loads of microchips from China so there is this massive race underneath the price of Bitcoin that any significant accumulation from countries is only going to widen the gap between price and production and that that Gap is what miners will Arbitrage and this is where it gets interesting what percentage of this hash rate is in the USA this isn’t a quiz it’s 40% it’s 40% in the UK I’m going to politely write zero because it’s pretty much zero now this is interestingly in a Bitcoin unit of account approach this is more strategically significant You could argue than this why well this is the amount of subsidy being distributed per 144 blocks which is one day and every 210,000 blocks that cuts in half the harving event which happens every four years and it halves again halves again 100 years later there is no Bitcoin being issued as subsidy and that full 21 million has been distributed and it gets distributed through uh compute power so right now the UK has none so it’s not earning any of this and the and the USA is capturing 40% because it produces 40% of the hash rate so it’s earning approximately 40% of the Bitcoin and this is important because the other component of subsidy is fees and fees are effectively a redistribution in the Bitcoin system it’s inefficiency paying to efficiency and what I mean by that is fees represent some form of consumption I send you uh $100 worth of bitcoin I pay a $1 fee that fee along with all the other fees and the volume is much larger than the small fee that’s paid and redistributed to those producing compute and so if the USA has 40% of the compute all they’re capturing 40% of transaction fees the UK is not why is this important well you pay Bitcoin to pay a fee and so there is a natural economic leakage when you consider the UK side of things where we hold a load of Bitcoin but it can only be spent and yes it’s powerful in of itself it holds all this economic power over these two Commodities that are continually expanding underneath this fixed quantity of Bitcoin to reprice the Bitcoin in Greater quantities of electricity and compute now what’s important for here is although they own 1% % of the supply of Bitcoin they are redistributing the network is redistributing Bitcoin through fees and subsidy on top of that and the US is collecting 40% of it so uh the US is experiencing economic inflow because it it in a sense it holds more Bitcoin um in greater amount in quantity yes but it’s also accumulating 40% of what is continually redistributed in the system and as we transition away from subsidy and more onto fees and fees represent people of the world all sending and receiving Bitcoin and those fees are essentially a red redistribution mechanism based on efficiency well the US is uh sorry the UK is is going to really suffer because we don’t we don’t produce compute as a as a country in a sense and so we are suffering economic leakage whilst the US is uh experiencing in the benefit of economic inflow so the approach of this video is I’m trying to say that the US strategic Reserve needs to consider the amount of Bitcoin it holds but also the amount of issuance power because that’s essentially what compute power is it’s issuance because with Bitcoin you pay to store your transaction in a block when you produce compute power you produce the blocks you decide what goes in a block you hold the pen of the accounting system for 10 minutes and that ability to issue uh new Bitcoin into circulation and settle people’s transactions or settle your own transactions in your own country that may be the the path of Bitcoin mining pools whether you’re for or against that that would be the case because they will want to retain issuance power within the network and this is why Bitcoin mining is decentralized it’s smashing the central banking system issuance power into a thousand pieces and people are picking it up in 144 blocks per day and the third component of this is well um Bitcoin miners uh representative here as 800 xash of compute multiplied by 23.5 Jew per terahash that is converting xash into megawatts which comes up with 18.8 gws when you make it even larger in the units 18.8 gaw that is an insane amount of power that’s the uh Power of an entire country as the news and media like to say which means that there’s an entire country’s worth of energy infrastructure under this network all across the world and uh well the US is continually building this out the US is 40% of that uh approximately and the UK is not so they are not getting the benefits of grid stability that the miners can offer because mining is is buy energy sell Bitcoin because you’ve turned the computer on and consume that power that you purchased but inversely they can sell the power and buy the Bitcoin with the machine off they’ve sold the power so they’ve sold the power back to someone else on the grid but the computer there in the first place is what allows them to get that power contract and these pieces are very important because it requires uh it requires Bitcoin mining to be local because that’s where it is bit Bitcoin mining is loc local and the blockchain is global and all these different pieces ensure that you have um currency units which um if you have compute power you’re earning the issuance of the global monetary Network to your local country so right now obviously the UK is suffering Bitcoin unit of account economic leakage and the US has the benefit of 40% of all the fees going to them but they also have the grid stability aspect of um all the 40% of this power effectively being um available to be sold at that theoretical amount not every minor is able to sell power but I do see that path in terms of a strategic Bitcoin Reserve acknowledging the energy and compute layers of the network to use the the cryptography and security of the Bitcoin blockchain as a communication system to miners all across a country and actively they can coordinate demand response together on an electrical grid pay them for it they’ll do it it’s a it’s just computers that can under and overclock with their power you could design uh an electricity grid that could be hit by a missile and the second there’s some form of surge or drop in power you have the machines manage manage that that fluctuation to a grid that’s the extreme sense but you could also have it in the sense that if there’s a massive amount of solar you’ve got all these machines that absolutely crank up to the max to consume that excess power because from the energy side of things Bitcoin is effectively a recycling system it’s a mycelium network of energy and finance but it’s a recycling system for wasted energy all you need is a computer with an internet connection to to produce the digital money and a local energy connection so it’s local energy connected to Global Finance so yes it’s strategically important to store and own the digital monetary units that reference the entire under Ling Network and priced against energy at the rate of issuance per day and and settlement fees against that amount of energy and as more energy joins the network the price of energy gets cheaper so who doesn’t want stabilized energy on their local electricity grid which produces and issues and collects Global monetary fees as a redistribution system of a fixed Supply monetary unit where there’s only 21 million and your country already owns for my case 61,000 the US is in a massively strategic position to continue its path and all it needs to do is coordinate these underlying layers I don’t think the US government should uh effectively mine Bitcoin Beyond producing a few blocks themselves um maybe they run a mining pool there’s U there’s going to be lots of uh happiness and unhappiness about these sorts of Integrations but Bitcoin is effectively for everyone um freedom of speech it’s can your enemy say something you don’t like don’t agree with um and if it’s in your country that Civil Society so to speak when you start breaking that down such as pausing the Swift payments system in every country realizing oh we can’t trust this anymore um the veils dropped um and then you’ve got countries coordinating some form of gold token or whatever it is um but here’s the problem you can’t if if someone sends you a gold token how do you know the gold is in the vault there is no mathematical or physics connection between the physical Atomic chunk of gold in a vault and your digital token there is only two Commodities directly that are digitally native but physically proven Bitcoin and through compute power the very cost of spending energy to Brute Force crack the next block in the chain is what allows you to um prove the the amount of Bitcoin that you’ve mined in a block because you’ve spent the energy Brute Force cracking it so there’s a direct uh alignment between local energy being consumed and Global money being produced and the analogy I’d like to help you remember that forever is uh if you meet a friend that’s just had a child you see they had a child you didn’t need to you know they did something shall we say you didn’t need to see that part you saw they have a child so there’s it’s the proof of work so to speak so Bitcoin does the same in the sense that there is proof that energy has been expended to produce compute which produces that Bitcoin and that’s a memorable way to to think of it so in terms of us strategic Reserve as a recap the Bitcoin uh Network being 40% uh redistributed to the US versus 0% to the UK it means my country is suffering economic leakage in our Bitcoin unit of account and the US is continually accumulating more Bitcoin over time whether it’s to their citizens or investors um or the country level but I would I wouldn’t be surprised if they do dive into Bitcoin mining just for that ability to produce a couple blocks um and and that that settlement space being very critical to say um future grid systems that use the cyber security applications of compute in the middle as a way of securing the electricity grid by uh the the the the control systems of the grid only being communicated through the Bitcoin blockchain and all of that stability of um those machines being able to dynamically change the amount of energy that they use to stabilize the grids that have lots of Renewables on them I think that was a different sort of approach for a US strategic Reserve to include compute power but here we are I hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one goodbye
