hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scandin I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place to learn anything about Bitcoin and everything about Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals here at the Academy we go to the energy side of things first then the compute Bitcoin mining aspects which consumes that electricity to produce hash rate and that hash rate is seeking to find that next block in the chain and capture some of that 450 Bitcoin that right now is distributed to the entire network and as more energy and more compute expands under that amount of Bitcoin is issued per day it reprices Bitcoin not just against dollars but also energy and compute so these are the sorts of things you can learn at hash power Academy today’s topic is buying versus mining versus micro strategy three different paths to the same destination and that is to say that one Bitcoin right now is a Tim form of monetary unit stored on a blockchain defended by energy and compute and so all of this expansiveness of these sectors of the Bitcoin industry so to speak uh are continually increasing your purchasing power what do I mean by that well one Bitcoin does not equal one Bitcoin why because that is a self circular argument which doesn’t make sense if the network average production cost for Bitcoin that is the exchange rate from electricity into Bitcoin through Bitcoin mining is $50,000 uh of energy per Bitcoin at a 5cent electrical rate divide one by the other that is 1 million kilowatt hours per Bitcoin isn’t that a different way to S to see it that is a pricing system of energy on a Bitcoin unit of account these are the sorts of things that we discuss here at the Academy but but on today’s topic of buying Mining and micro strategy so we have x-axis time over time and the y- axis one Bitcoin now there’s about 2 million Bitcoin on exchanges so buying right now is well a lot of that Bitcoin will be in collateral in custody some people trading it and uh that is quite low now because of the full 21 million Supply to million of it being on the exchanges that’s that has continually dropped over time and with more people seeking to cold storage and protect their Bitcoin from any potential uh risks that is the one comparison we can make to begin with that with buying it’s completely economically Sovereign but with mining if you don’t have the access to cheap electricity that computer you’re probably going to be sending to a host so there is a trust element there and micro strategy they are holding the Bitcoin on your behalf another trust strategy so the first comparison is uh the lowest lowest risk in the context of losing it all so to speak is if you buy and hold your own Bitcoin you have that security mechanism there but Mining and micro strategy those can have different risk and so in terms of Timeless reward we have the direct unit of account of of The Benchmark so to speak to compare to Mining and micro strategy so the question here if you were mining Bitcoin and you purchased one bitcoin’s worth of mining machines well you would start with zero Bitcoin meaning that you haven’t mined any yet and so at the start here you’ve purchased your machines with your one Bitcoin what is your goal you’re trying to mine more than a whole Bitcoin the objective goal of mining is to accumulate more Bitcoin over time than what you could have purchased in the first place so if I spent a Bitcoin on buying Hardware I want to produce consider this the Bitcoin yield I want to produce inevitably more Bitcoin than what I could have purchased in the first place and that’s why people mind you buy machines to produce Bitcoin at a lower rate priced Against the Machines and the depreciation there and so there’s a few things there when it comes to mining you’ve got the depreciation of the machine uh the tax deductible nature of that and potentially the electricity as well and you’re producing Bitcoin as a yield so you’re not depending on accumulating Bitcoin from an exchange because you are the producer of the Bitcoin and the second part to that is um mining has the benefit of electrical bills allowing you to buy Bitcoin without fees this is to say that you either pay the electrical bill with dollars which essentially is keeping the Bitcoin you’ve mind or you’re selling some of that Bitcoin to pay the electricity and so you your your dual option is there is pay with extra dollars to effectively buy the Bitcoin you’ve already mined or sell Bitcoin which is you’re trying to accumulate Bitcoin so you wouldn’t want to sell it so you would use additional dollars and so you essentially have this opportunity with mining to buy Bitcoin without fee so that’s an interesting comparison there and when it comes to micro strategy uh you’re buying dollarized shares that have a certain amount of Bitcoin per share so let’s just chart that here in Orange so let’s just show it as a bar um let’s just show it here with M so you’ve got one bitcoin’s worth of micr strategy shares how much Bitcoin per share is that backed by now the the share price to the nav the underlying Bitcoin amount is about one two 3 four five it’s about 50% so there’s about 50% of your micr Strat shares is is a quantity of Bitcoin now what they do is they have options and converts and equity and all these different weird and wonderful things that micro strategy are doing so you have the dollarized amount but that’s continually fluctuating so you have the potential for the shares to increase relative to their underlying Bitcoin reserves or decrease who knows and slowly and incrementally over time the amount of Bitcoin per share is increasing in which raises let’s just say it does we don’t know how much Bitcoin they’re going to be able to accumulate remember there’s 2 million on exchanges maybe they have Partnerships with large scale Bitcoin miners or huge OTC Deals Deals with sellers at certain prices um but large institutional buyers and sellers they want to do everything off of the order book of exchanges uh in private shall we say but the same sort of risk approach here is this if you buy a Bitcoin over time you’ve got a Bitcoin if you put it in a platform and Loan against it you could lose it if you put it in some form of yield producing thing you could lose it there’s there’s it’s it’s all risk and reward but the overall approach here is this that um Bitcoin is the unit of account your benchmark for this you hold one Bitcoin over time it doesn’t change mining as I said is this you you convert your Bitcoin into buying machines or even half of it it and keep the other half of paying electrical bills that’s another approach and so you got this Benchmark of starting at zero Bitcoin Min uh you’ll produce the most amount of Bitcoin in the first few months because uh continually the Network’s expanding the compute is expanding and the amount of Bitcoin uh in blocks stays relatively the same when the majority of Bitcoin that people are mining is subsidy so if there’s a constrained amount of network revenue and network hash rate and network energy are continually expanding underneath uh then miners with the difficulty adjustment are continually getting less Bitcoin per terahash or ex aash per day so diminishing returns basically so the the slope of how much Bitcoin per per day you’re going to mine the quantity decreases but the price may go up because this is all in a Bitcoin unit of account not in dollars I’ve shown a fluctuation of the potential for micro strategy shares because their dollar and their dollar converting uh Fiat yield into more Bitcoin per share and so how much how steep this climb is we don’t know and how how much this outperforms Bitcoin who knows but the overall understanding here is you’ve got this timelessness of Bitcoin in of itself which we recommend and um mining is that approach that if you want a tax deduction to buy some Bitcoin without fees and produce Bitcoin at production cost as a yield you also get a free transaction in a sense because when you uh plug into a mining pool you mine up to a certain amount and then they’ll let you Auto withdraw it without a fee typically so if you just want the the the mining rewards to just Auto deposit to your cold storage um you’re getting essentially a a free transaction ATT deduction and buy Bitcoin without fees I’m a biased thing about mining I’ve got some bias when it comes to mining but uh those are some really good benefits um but you got to understand the efficiency in the mining economics things um but buying buying is good um but it’s going to get more and more scarce on exchanges as more people pull Bitcoin off exchanges I do see a point where the amount on exchanges drops below the amount that’s remaining to mine uh on the micro strategy side of things they’ve got a lot of Bitcoin they’ve got over half a million approximately of the full 21 million Supply so on the on the on the side of things that we explained here with the energy sector expanding compute and all the other different pieces when you own bit a quantity of Bitcoin you have a uh a comp you have a stake in the growth of the entire network because Bitcoin is the the units on the database defended by a compute defended by energy and all the different aspects of say the heating side of things which has the potential to uh I’ve been thinking this recently actually that if uh a lot of people uh adopt or adopt a lot of people purchase Bitcoin mining electric heaters um they are not strictly economic miners that they’re not trying to buy $50,000 electricity to produce an $80,000 Bitcoin they are just mining to produce heat and subsidize some of that cost so the amount they can produce is less than uh than the amount of Bitcoin they earn is less than their energy bill and so they’re not mining uh economically it’s just it’s for a secondary use of that heat but subsidized energy costs because you’re producing Bitcoin in the process and if enough people did that it would demonetize uh the entire mining industry that’s on the profit side of things the public Miners and uh they they a lot of them are diluting their shareholders continually which is not what we like but on the buying side of things if if balance on exchanges was to decline to something really really low um you’ve got exchangers taking risks at that point because they are constantly managing an inflow of Bitcoin from different sources that might be a problem and they’re constantly managing an outflow of Bitcoin uh customer withdrawals people wanting to store their Bitcoin there is a lot of people that just deposit in some dollars or or stable coin and immediately withdraw Bitcoin and that is their exchange experience and exchanges continually in decline of Bitcoin reserves uh they might take more risk or or more other alternative coins taking uh taking risks in that department as well and the risks on the micro strategy side of things are well how much how much longer can they do how much can they conate this uh conversion of high volatility into different um products markets and services relative to bitcoin and that’s this is they’re going to have a lot of competition in this space in terms of all different Financial firms namely Black Rock as well and they’re all going to try and offer anything and everything for you to give them your Bitcoin and and give some form of benefits and loaning against Bitcoin all those sorts of things are going to be available but uh the volatility uh is going to shake out a lot of people and the risks that that they are customing the Bitcoin for you so that is a significant risk in of itself I think I’ll leave it there um but yes there’s potential with these two to create more reward than just buying Bitcoin but with different sorts of risks from both sides I think with mining side of things um you get the education if you if you you start with getting a little bitx mini Miner that’s like stage one um if you want to go further than that get a hosted mining machine that would be like stage two and if you want to mine yourself because you got a decent enough electrical rate uh that would be stage three and and you can learn all those things at the hash power Academy on the buying side of things yeah the the the ability to buy Bitcoin has always been there uh here at the Academy we can teach you about the exchange rate between electricity and Bitcoin which is going to come in the future uh it’ll be the second unit of account economics Dynamic that Bitcoin has the first one is with uh block space and uh with micro strategy it’s really going to be interesting to see the different products Market services that they they bring out right I think I’ll leave it there so 3 in the morning it’s where I get my best work done and uh I will see you in the next video like subscribe all that fun stuff and I will see you 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 to learn anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals this is where we start with all the energy sector side of things electricity converted in Bitcoin miners to produce hash rate which produces Bitcoin blocks and this brings us to the topic of the difficulty adjustment the true test of your Bitcoin knowledge the final exam the litmus test in other places as they refer to it and the difficulty adjustment represents the uh what I like to call dimensional axis uh x y and Zed where they meet in the middle and those different components are what I like to call Energy space and time those are the three key things to understand about the difficulty adjustment even if it’s a bit of a technical thing that you’ve not still wrapped your head around at least understand the three key reasons why we’ll start with time time the the Bitcoin Network wants to regulate the amount of blocks per day per well any period of time it’s trying to create a steady state of 144 blocks per day and that is approximating 10 minutes per block but on the network you can have 20 blocks found in an hour or you could have one block found in an hour but the average across the entire pole of all the miners is reaching a steady state equilibrium at about 10 minutes per block and the network in terms of the code the code is looking back 2016 blocks so if you do 2016 by 144 you get to 14 2 weeks so the network is constantly looking back at the the amount of time it takes for blocks to be found over two we period of what it thinks it’s two weeks two weeks as in 2016 blocks and what is it observing the amount of hash rate producing blocks I hope you’re with me still and the three key reasons are it’s trying to regulate time to 144 blocks per day why because the steady state is that right now the amount of Bitcoin being issued the energy aspect is 450 Bitcoin per day 144 blocks in time per day 450 Bitcoin in terms of energy issuance digital energy per day and space is well every block stores transaction information ones and zeros per day now if 10% more hash rate come online then it’s not going to be 144 that’s going to be plus 10% in terms of that relative period of time the blocks are no longer going to be every 10 minutes they’re going to be approximating every 9 minutes and it’s the same with the amount of Bitcoin that’s going to be 400 that’s going to be 10% more Bitcoin being issued per day relative to that period of time and there’s 10% more block space in terms of uh if there’s more blocks there’s more Bitcoin being issued more space for transactions and um well blocks going to be every 9 minutes so energy data space and time now they all sound like reasonable things oh more more more time to or quicker transaction settlement more Bitcoin being issued and um more space for transactions to be stored energy space and time but those aren’t good things for the reason that well if this was 50% then uh we’d be at 288 blocks per day and it would be 900 Bitcoin per day so the inflation rate would be double and right now the Bitcoin inflation rate annually is it’s approximating 0 uh 78% I believe which is over half that of gold gold tries to average at 2% a year and we’re are the inflation rate of Bitcoin is is over half of that so if the network was to double in this example double in size which isn’t going to happen overnight we we don’t think and that’s going to be 50% as well well it would be uh those blocks would be found in a week at twice the amount of blocks per day it would be 10 minutes per block and twice as much Bitcoin and the inflation rate in that relative time would double and we don’t want to increase the inflation of the scarce hard digital money and it’s the same where there’ be twice as much block space so what happens is the node storing all that data would be on an accelerated without the difficulty adjustment the nodes would have to have twice as much storage space and they are volunteers nodes are volunteers they are not uh being paid for what they do and we don’t want to impose more storage costs at a quicker rate than they already know what the rate of the the Bitcoin network uh data size is growing at we don’t want to impose more cost on the volunteers that keep Bitcoin digitally decentralized now uh on the issuance inflation side of things we don’t want to inflate Bitcoin at a higher rate it’s already got the lowest inflation rate across all of the different monetary assets or Monet monetary Metals should we say um and yeah we don’t want to make blocks any less than 10 minutes because it’s a synchronization issue if uh a Bitcoin miner finds the block he screams out to the network I found a block here is my proof my proof of work he found the the the uh the correct amount of zeros and yeah well if it’s every five minutes there is more of a problem that not everyone’s going to get out that information um at the right the synchronization issues basically and so the difficulty adjustment is constraining uh the amount of energy issuance compute space that’s available by constraining time and so it’s this uh invention of time and why the difficulty adjustment has to constrain time is uh we’re not using the Bitcoin code doesn’t just randomly pull an API and go oh hey random website what’s the price or uh even an atomic clock the system is designed to not trust any one thing when it comes to decentralizing the issuant power hash rate distributed to all the Bitcoin miners all around the planet it’s constraining um energy as in the amount of issuance of the money and the block space if we have small blocks and uh a constrained amount of pace between each block if if blocks are found faster the fees on the on the fee rates will will drop but that fee rate keeps Bitcoin um the economics of using the fee Market competitive for the reasons that it subsidy inevitably drops out into Oblivion to zero and the amount of fees is going to become that Natural Market of buyers on the other side and they are in reference paying for the security of multiple gws an entire country’s worth of energy and compute protecting their transaction integrity and so the difficulty adjustment truly represents that that that point of energy space and time being regulated at the rate of energy ISS issuance data Space by time and the the pace of blocks being found all constrained together and it works by continually every block that’s found uh is time stamped the amount of time between each block is timestamped and so the so the the issuance of who is submitting what the time is on the network is uh is is recorded essentially and so that that gap of time between each each block is measured over the the previous two weeks approximately or 2016 blocks so if those 2016 blocks are found in quicker than 2 weeks the network adjusts it to to realign it back to every 10 minutes so it’s all this interplay of dimensions of energy space and time but what it does is it constrains the money to not be issued too quickly the storage space doesn’t collapse the price of the fee Market which is the competitive side of uh consumption on the Bitcoin blockchain and it all does it by by regulating time and essentially Bitcoin is a decentralized clock because it’s it’s not pulling the time from one particular place it’s not trusting any one particular person it’s sourcing the time from all the different uh people that have have captured their their share of the block rewards by finding a block and submitting time in the process so it’s uh yeah it’s quite a lot and um but it’s fundamental but it gets better it gets a lot better so when you circulate the system the blockchain and the difficulty adjustment creates uh a Time the the Bitcoin blocks being regulated in time so that the pace of issuance and data storage space and energy are all constrained together it forms pricing system so the conversion efficiency of Bitcoin miners the uh data market of how much Bitcoin for per storage space that you’re paying for and both of these two components create a new pricing system system for Bitcoin against energy and it’s actually very circular so we produce energy on electrical grids consume it in homes and Bitcoin miners who convert that into hash rate which export that energy onto the internet to produce hash power which adds the Bitcoin blocks which to this discussion that constraint of energy space and time ensures that the blockchain has the right amount of time of between blocks the right amount of issuance of Bitcoin so it’s not too fast not too slow and uh and that competitive fee Market aspect thing of storage space we don’t want to impose costs on the nodes they are the volunteers of the network we want as many nodes as possible so I recommend you uh get some uh large multi-terabyte ssds and uh and and save your own copy and version of the uh of the Bitcoin blockchain and so yeah Bitcoin creates this digital side of things of an energy space and time sort dimensional axis and the Bitcoin code uh keeps the regulation of all of this but it’s not in one single place again we’re not trusting one single place it’s distributed and copied across every single person running their own node and essentially um Bitcoin miners are energy nodes Bitcoin wallets are economic nodes and uh someone that has a full copy of the the file they are space nodes or something like that and uh yeah so there I hope this was an interesting video I’m going to do more sort of uh trying to break down the more technical side of things but the the difficulty adjustment is uh is quite a knot to crack as they say I hope you enjoyed this video like subscribe share drop anything in the comments I’ll probably do another difficulty adjustment video because um yes continually seeking to improve uh Kaizen as they like to say goodbye

IS Bitcoin the Key to Your Wealth?
Youtube VideosAre you a consumer or a producer? Consumers spend money, producers create value. In today’s world of overconsumption—driven by fiat money that’s easy to print—it’s more important than ever to be productive and build things others want.
This video explores how Bitcoin aligns with real-world value creation, like farming or engineering, by tying money to energy and technology. Unlike fiat, Bitcoin can’t be printed endlessly—it’s a fixed-supply system based on proof of work.

are you a consumer or are you a producer consumers spend money and receive goods and services producers produce and sell goods and services and receive money so if you want to get ahead in life do you know what you need to do you need to produce you need to be productive you need to build things that others would like to purchase and that’s not to say it’s bad to be a consumer but we live in an overc consumption Society because Fiat money is a manipulation on consumption they can print more units in the database and buy things so create more currency backed by nothing with no cost to produce and buy things that have a cost to produce a farmer has to adhere to the laws of physics consuming energy managing technology to ensure his crops grow to the optimal amount and then transport those crops to the supermarket and sell them to you he produces he sells the commodity that he produces and that’s the same with Bitcoin mining it’s a currency system which is based on energy and Technology as its fundamental layers so Bitcoin offers a form of currency that has a direct alignment to how everything else in society works the way we live and breathe the work hard energy work smart compute power and all the different monetary aspects of our time and energy being converted into economic value and so what Bitcoin offers you is an opportunity to to store your energy in something that is fixed in Supply so no one can print you out of the value that you’ve earned and as more people seek to produce Bitcoin or chase it with dollars its value is going to go up over time I for one studied aerospace engineering I’m obsessed with different systems and how they work and how they break and I haven’t figured out how Bitcoin breaks just yet and I don’t think I probably will so I’m going to continually learn about it learn every different nook and cranny as to how the system works and communicate it to you as best as I can this is the hash power Academy I hope you like subscribe enjoy all all of the content drop anything in the comments and I will address them as I can and I hope to see you in the next video goodbye

wouldn’t want to sell it so you would use additional dollars and so you essentially have this opportunity with mining to buy Bitcoin without fee so that’s an interesting comparison there and when it comes to micro strategy uh you’re buying dollarized shares that have a certain amount of Bitcoin per share so let’s just chart that here in Orange so let’s just show it as a bar um let’s just show it here with M so you’ve got one bitcoin’s worth of micr strategy shares how much Bitcoin per share is that backed by now the the share price to the nav the underlying Bitcoin amount is about one two 3 four five it’s about 50% so there’s about 50% of your micr Strat shares is is a quantity of Bitcoin now what they do is they have options and converts and equity and all these different weird and wonderful things that micro strategy are doing so you have the dollarized amount but that’s continually fluctuating so you have the potential for the shares to increase relative to their underlying Bitcoin reserves or decrease who knows and slowly and incrementally over time the amount of Bitcoin per share is increasing in which raises let’s just say it does we don’t know how much Bitcoin they’re going to be able to accumulate remember there’s 2 million on exchanges maybe they have Partnerships with large scale Bitcoin miners or huge OTC Deals Deals with sellers at certain prices um but large institutional buyers and sellers they want to do everything off of the order book of exchanges uh in private shall we say but the same sort of risk approach here is this if you buy a Bitcoin over time you’ve got a Bitcoin if you put it in a platform and Loan against it you could lose it if you put it in some form of yield producing thing you could lose it there’s there’s it’s it’s all risk and reward but the overall approach here is this that um Bitcoin is the unit of account your benchmark for this you hold one Bitcoin over time it doesn’t change mining as I said is this you you convert your Bitcoin into buying machines or even half of it it and keep the other half of paying electrical bills that’s another approach and so you got this Benchmark of starting at zero Bitcoin Min uh you’ll produce the most amount of Bitcoin in the first few months because uh continually the Network’s expanding the compute is expanding and the amount of Bitcoin uh in blocks stays relatively the same when the majority of Bitcoin that people are mining is subsidy so if there’s a constrained amount of network revenue and network hash rate and network energy are continually expanding underneath uh then miners with the difficulty adjustment are continually getting less Bitcoin per terahash or ex aash per day so diminishing returns basically so the the slope of how much Bitcoin per per day you’re going to mine the quantity decreases but the price may go up because this is all in a Bitcoin unit of account not in dollars I’ve shown a fluctuation of the potential for micro strategy shares because their dollar and their dollar converting uh Fiat yield into more Bitcoin per share and so how much how steep this climb is we don’t know and how how much this outperforms Bitcoin who knows but the overall understanding here is you’ve got this timelessness of Bitcoin in of itself which we recommend and um mining is that approach that if you want a tax deduction to buy some Bitcoin without fees and produce Bitcoin at production cost as a yield you also get a free transaction in a sense because when you uh plug into a mining pool you mine up to a certain amount and then they’ll let you Auto withdraw it without a fee typically so if you just want the the the mining rewards to just Auto deposit to your cold storage um you’re getting essentially a a free transaction ATT deduction and buy Bitcoin without fees I’m a biased thing about mining I’ve got some bias when it comes to mining but uh those are some really good benefits um but you got to understand the efficiency in the mining economics things um but buying buying is good um but it’s going to get more and more scarce on exchanges as more people pull Bitcoin off exchanges I do see a point where the amount on exchanges drops below the amount that’s remaining to mine uh on the micro strategy side of things they’ve got a lot of Bitcoin they’ve got over half a million approximately of the full 21 million Supply so on the on the on the side of things that we explained here with the energy sector expanding compute and all the other different pieces when you own bit a quantity of Bitcoin you have a uh a comp you have a stake in the growth of the entire network because Bitcoin is the the units on the database defended by a compute defended by energy and all the different aspects of say the heating side of things which has the potential to uh I’ve been thinking this recently actually that if uh a lot of people uh adopt or adopt a lot of people purchase Bitcoin mining electric heaters um they are not strictly economic miners that they’re not trying to buy $50,000 electricity to produce an $80,000 Bitcoin they are just mining to produce heat and subsidize some of that cost so the amount they can produce is less than uh than the amount of Bitcoin they earn is less than their energy bill and so they’re not mining uh economically it’s just it’s for a secondary use of that heat but subsidized energy costs because you’re producing Bitcoin in the process and if enough people did that it would demonetize uh the entire mining industry that’s on the profit side of things the public Miners and uh they they a lot of them are diluting their shareholders continually which is not what we like but on the buying side of things if if balance on exchanges was to decline to something really really low um you’ve got exchangers taking risks at that point because they are constantly managing an inflow of Bitcoin from different sources that might be a problem and they’re constantly managing an outflow of Bitcoin uh customer withdrawals people wanting to store their Bitcoin there is a lot of people that just deposit in some dollars or or stable coin and immediately withdraw Bitcoin and that is their exchange experience and exchanges continually in decline of Bitcoin reserves uh they might take more risk or or more other alternative coins taking uh taking risks in that department as well and the risks on the micro strategy side of things are well how much how much longer can they do how much can they conate this uh conversion of high volatility into different um products markets and services relative to bitcoin and that’s this is they’re going to have a lot of competition in this space in terms of all different Financial firms namely Black Rock as well and they’re all going to try and offer anything and everything for you to give them your Bitcoin and and give some form of benefits and loaning against Bitcoin all those sorts of things are going to be available but uh the volatility uh is going to shake out a lot of people and the risks that that they are customing the Bitcoin for you so that is a significant risk in of itself I think I’ll leave it there um but yes there’s potential with these two to create more reward than just buying Bitcoin but with different sorts of risks from both sides I think with mining side of things um you get the education if you if you you start with getting a little bitx mini Miner that’s like stage one um if you want to go further than that get a hosted mining machine that would be like stage two and if you want to mine yourself because you got a decent enough electrical rate uh that would be stage three and and you can learn all those things at the hash power Academy on the buying side of things yeah the the the ability to buy Bitcoin has always been there uh here at the Academy we can teach you about the exchange rate between electricity and Bitcoin which is going to come in the future uh it’ll be the second unit of account economics Dynamic that Bitcoin has the first one is with uh block space and uh with micro strategy it’s really going to be interesting to see the different products Market services that they they bring out right I think I’ll leave it there so 3 in the morning it’s where I get my best work done and uh I will see you in the next video like subscribe all that fun stuff and I will see you goodbye

Video Transcript:
hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy the topic of today’s video is the biggest risks to bitcoin not just the asset but the underlying network of Technologies and commodities that are all intrinsically and mathematically linked together from energy all the way to finance through computation now there is several risks to all different parts of this bit of this network in a sense and let me just start with this if you were to try and kill bit coin so to speak to completely dismantle it entirely you would have to switch off every form of power production on this planet on and off every grid you would have to disconnect every single grid every electrical grid and switch it off you would have to destroy any form of computation any computer that could add Bitcoin blocks to the chain you’d have to completely dismantle and disconnect the entire internet and stop any form of device communicating with another you’d have to destroy every single node every uh SSD and every storage device for containing all of the Bitcoin transactions you’d have to destroy any form of system service product Market that is trying to allow people to communicate all of that digital money value between each other in a sense you would have to completely dismantle all of human civilizational infrastructure so I don’t think it’s going to happen but the topic of today’s video does also delve into the biggest risks in the context of the different businesses Associated to these different areas namely the centralization of compute power in the mining pools the decentralization of Central Banking the issuance power of money well Bitcoin decentralizes the issuance power of Bitcoin through who issues the blocks and who issues the blocks directly it’s the mining pools but they are a group of underlying Bitcoin miners that are Computing all into a poll and the poll manages the issuance the uh block templates which is all the different transactions that they are choosing to put in their block if the Bitcoin network was a uh an Excel spreadsheet uh and you can think of every line item being uh the ownership of the units on in each line um being the the Bitcoin wallets and their holders the nodes are everyone that has a copy of that Excel spreadsheet and the miners are essentially the ones that have right access they have permission to actually edit the sheet but they can only edit the sheet with the permission of the other two to add the information and update whose information is is moving to whose wallet so that’s an overall gist um other sorts of businesses are well the the production side of things from Bitcoin mining Hardware is from a handful of producers uh bitmain and what’s Miner but namely bitmain they have a significant market share of producing the computers that is an aspect of centralization that could be considered risk uh on the energy side of things not so much that’s that’s very decentralized Bitcoin is on and off every electrical grid on the planet it can be as small as a single little solar panel and a bit ax mini Miner it could be as big as an entire city and I do have design ideas for a Bitcoin City that we’ll discuss in another video and all the way up to the financial side of things the Bitcoin in particular wallet whether it’s uh in an ETF and with a custodian essentially underneath that there are several ETFs which are I us of redeeming underlying Bitcoin and they’ve all got their Bitcoin stored with a particular custodian that is a centralization risk in terms of the monetary units the the owners of the data on the uh so-called Excel spreadsheet and on the communication side of things um we discussed the Bitcoin um mining pools and their issuance power but that communication between polls and where the Bitcoin is located there’s other entities such as platforms exchanges um there are still quite a lot of people that have Bitcoin in different sorts of platforms and exchanges and that is a risk to well someone else is custody in your Bitcoin for you now here’s the thing uh the majority of people are not going to self- custody there is systematic inevitabilities of sort of the human side of this where some people just will prefer uh that other people look after their their Bitcoin for them whether it’s because uh you have a a grandparent or a parent that’s just not not interested to manage the security of their own money on their physical persons or you know within their home or uh or on the extreme end of security which is to have a multi signature set up so think of it like some Indiana Jones thing where they have to plug in two keys and turn them at the same time to to access the the gold totem behind the behind the rock uh those sorts of things and on that extreme end if you create a security in environment to protect your Bitcoin to the extreme there are some people that have made all these crazy layers of security protection for their Bitcoin and something went wrong and now they’ve lost it or here in the UK actually someone or the amount of people that they had Bitcoin in a wallet or in a hard drive forgot about it years later and now there’s a hard drive here in the UK in a landfill that’s worth millions or billions of dollars worth of bitcoin on it so um time affords Val to bitcoin that’s the thing um one of the positives actually of when Bitcoin is stolen is this is a danger for people that think that they can steal Bitcoin it’s going to go up forever in terms of its value so the incentive to hunt that person down and and recover that Bitcoin goes up forever so it’s not worth trying to steal Bitcoin because the incentive for people to come and find you only goes up over time so your your risk your benefits versus your risks uh it’s not working for you it was working against you and there’s several different other pieces to this but there’s a lot of focus say on the financial side of this these large uh entities companies black rocks as one example all the other different Financial firms trying to wrap their head around different products markets and services that they are going to offer people to accumulate as much Bitcoin it if you boil it down to the to the uh under the hood observation it’s they’re going to want to accumulate as much Bitcoin as they can under their custody and offer all different lending loaning of financial services and Bitcoin Bonds on the on the government side of things um it it it it to the to the technical level it’s they’re going to hold Bitcoin on your behalf and give you some form of incentives or benefits and tradeoff as to why to why uh it’s worth it uh in terms of the compute side of things um there’s a danger with the cryptography aspect of things with quantum um if there’s an issue with all of the Bitcoin that’s in wallets having a certain amount of data cost and and moving all of that Bitcoin into new Quantum resistant wallets when there’s only a a constrained amount of limit of the amount of data that can move through the blockchain per day at any moment in time um and the volume of data that would have to move through the blockchain is years multiple years worth of transaction um demand that could collapse the uh that could well that could collapse price in the sense that if block rewards in terms of fees were to Skyrocket the production cost of bitcoin for the miners absolutely collapses and then the danger side of the Bitcoin being that if it it’s hard to move because the fee Market’s really expensive and the fees uh are massively rewarding miners it’s this duopoly that there would be lot more lots more mining plugging in which would accelerate the rate of blocks being mined so the the the Bitcoin Network by design has all of these mechanisms that the more you attack it in any way the more it defends itself for example the the China ban is the opposite way around the um when China banned Bitcoin mining half the network literally switched off and what happened is the other half of the network started earning essentially twice as much Bitcoin so that incentive to uh you know half the network was attacked so to speak and the other half got paid twice as much now price did react and if you remember from uh the 20121 ball Market the price went up and had this big dip and then recovered just above the the the all-time high that it had set before and then it went back down uh and back to the production floor where Sam bankman freed tried to suppress the Bitcoin price below 20K uh not knowing that he was contending with the production floor and Bitcoin miners can’t just don’t just buy energy sell Bitcoin that they’ve produced they can also sell energy and buy Bitcoin if the price goes below production which we’ve discussed in a couple of other videos here on the academy um there is going to be several other things such as the AI side of things that uh if Bitcoin is afforded to people but based on their energy and compute efficiency that also extends to the sort of uh codified logic and if AI is a highly effici and highly productive and they have a direct understanding of what Bitcoin is a natively digital form of currency that is self Sovereign to it well AI if if if there is some form of scale of intelligence to these language models which they currently just are uh if there is a scale of intelligence to them and they conceptualize that Bitcoin has a value to hold um we could see a shift as to how much uh Bitcoin is owned by AI agents and Bots and uh you know someone’s someone’s going to code an AI that says try and accumulate as much Bitcoin as you physically can mentally can emotionally can all these sorts of things trick humans in every way you know um not everything’s fair game at this point and uh the overall approach is we want to create incentives that build Prosperity continually building out the energy sector continually making better chips and that just builds a more abundant world for everyone and all of that expansion of these massive sectors hash rate going up raising the difficulty adjustment which raises the the the requirement to crack the next block in the chain because miners are paid to not attack the network let’s get this straight the the one thing that controls issuance power of this form of money is producing blocks and producing blocks you’ve got all this proof of work side of things so we just mentioned AI risk or even the quantum aspect of things continually raising that cost to Brute Force crack the next Block in the chain and it’s the only it’s the only thing that can update the chain is is um and yeah there’s there’s several different risks but the dangers to price specifically um that’s more of a the the the leaving the traditional credit money World side of things and the different uh Financial products markets and services and Wall Street playing their Wall Street games so to speak of uh uh you holding B Bitcoin in one place and shorting it in another and constantly just stop loss hunting the entire Market until they’ve accumulated enough Bitcoin and then just let it naturally naturally grow um and the reason it does that is because the amount of Bitcoin being sold is so minimal the amount of freshly issued Bitcoin from the mining sector is barely 450 Bitcoin per day and multiples of 450 Bitcoin is purchased per day so when the price say is suppressed rest there’s probably something to do with the Futures Market playing games there I think that’s enough for today I hope you enjoyed this video I hope this was quite a broad perspective of different risks to bitcoin there is several others in all different areas uh especially some people are concerned at the amount of uh subsidy per block constantly cutting in half but that does actually raise the the value of Bitcoin because if a miner exchanges quantity of electricity into Bitcoin that creates a pricing system and if he’s getting paid less Bitcoin for the same electricity flip it the other way around that means your Bitcoin the harving essentially doubles the electron value of your Bitcoin and that’s another topic that we’ll go into more detail in other videos that’s enough for today I hope you enjoyed like subscribe send it to the group chat send it to the person that you know that loves Bitcoin the most hates Bitcoin the most and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake Scanland i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place that we delve into anything about Bitcoin and everything about Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals and the fundamentals of Bitcoin like any religious scripture or scientific text it’s either a big bang or a let there be light it all starts with energy and today’s topic we’re going to go through just all the different layers of the networks the commodities and how they connect really straightforward we produce energy in the energy sector such as solar which produces electricity and everyone might be familiar with kilowatt hours typically in the industrial scale they do it in megawatt hours which is a thousand times more in quantity size and where is all this electricity going it’s going to society everything lives breathes depends on energy and well when there is a power cut uh you very much get reminded how everyone is dependent on electricity and all that excess electricity in the system what do we do with it or wasted energy on and off the grid well this is where Bitcoin miners step in it’s just a computer that converts electricity into a form of compute power which adds Bitcoin blocks to the chain in a sense you can collapse this whole thing to it’s a computer that converts electricity into a quantity of digital money but we’ll get there so Bitcoin miners also produce heat and so you’ve got producer and consumer on the electrical grid on the internet side of things that conversion of energy into compute power the hashing rate in which the the miner is producing a certain amount of calculations per second to find the next block in the chain and this is where the internet connection part comes in a Bitcoin mining hardware unit it just needs an internet connection and uh well power electrical grid and so the internet side of things is there is a whole Bitcoin network of nodes and they all store the information of the entire Bitcoin blockchain and every block is a certain amount of data and that data is the Bitcoin the the money of the of the whole network and the money only moves um when the transaction information is updated to to move some Bitcoin from one wallet to another you need a certain amount of data storage in a block and so all of the different people on the Bitcoin network are paying to store their transaction information in a block and they pay fees so you get the fees and you get some subsidy which is freshly issued Bitcoin and that’s what the miners are spending all this time and energy consuming electricity to produce Bitcoin at a greater quantity and that’s their margin that’s their business and the hash rate in in of itself is the bridge between the two worlds of the electricity grid and a global monetary asset the the ability to wirelessly transmit energy from the physical world onto the internet and that’s what makes Bitcoin unique that you’ve got all of these other digital assets with CEOs and marketing teams and and all these sorts of pieces bitcoin doesn’t bitcoin has started with a person that developed the code Satoshi Nakamoto plugged in his computer to produce Bitcoin blocks and earned the Bitcoin it’s a form of money data money units on a database of blocks that has a cost to produce derived from electricity and the the the going trend for many people is the belief that Bitcoin is going to be the money of the future and what we need is a form of money that is digital but has a cost to produce so the incentives for Bitcoin miners is to go and produce as much computers and electricity as possible and in that process they build out more electricity capacity for society and for the Bitcoin network and uh better computers builds out well more more faster cheaper more efficient chips and so we get a playing field of cheaper energy and cheaper chips and that’s exactly what everyone wants we want computers and devices and robotics and we want and it all runs on energy and all our production costs are energy when you drive in your car energy fly uh the the majority of your your ticket is the the cost of the fuel and so all of these different pieces of the energy side and the compute technology side of Bitcoin network are continually expanding under 21 million units so you’ve got the electricity being transferred into compute power onto the internet which is adding Bitcoin blocks uh and the Bitcoin network is a an entire pool of people that all keep a copy of that same transaction file the blockchain the Bitcoin blockchain a file system of units of money that have a cost in energy to produce so you’ve got all this combination of uh watts bits and sats as it boils down to uh data money bitcoin and uh I think I’ll leave it there if anyone has any questions queries thoughts um the modules of the hash power academy are structured to learn about grids and electricity hardware and the heat that they produce valuable for well green houses pools schools anything over 50% of our energy needs globally is heat so there’s all these other different directions that the Bitcoin network is going into hash rate has all these different cyber security applications as well um SH 256 and all these different other pieces of the blockchain well there’s other different uh types it’s not just waiting every 10 minutes to send some Bitcoin there’s new layers being built such as liquid and lightning those are the core two there’s other ones coming along too and the Bitcoin network a an entire group of all different nodes that keep track of all of this information which has a cost to produce in energy and so you’ve got decentralization of the data storage and you’ve got decentralization of um the issuance power hash rate in the middle is uh is what we replace central bankers for with decentralized bankers distributing the issuance power of the money not from one central place but all across the planet to those who are most efficient with their energy and compute technologies and so the the pioneers of who makes the best energy uh well whoever creates the most energy abundance and technology abundance in our world will be paid the most it’s meritocracy in its purest form and even if aliens came along and had better energy and technology they could produce Bitcoin and then use the Bitcoin to purchase all our commodities of energy and technology um well if they had better technology at that point it probably wouldn’t be the case but nevertheless I think this is the end of the video i hope this was an interesting insightful way of seeing the Bitcoin network through all its different layers its different chakras um yeah so uh hope to see you in the next video like subscribe send it to the group chat and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake Scanland i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place that we delve into anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals we go through the energy sector then the electrical grid stuff bitcoin mining hardware and the heat that they produce in fact I shall add that in while I’m thinking about it and what do Bitcoin mining hardware produce they produce hash rate so all of that heat is neither created nor destroyed only transferred out of the computer but those electrons running around the microchips are producing compute power which is adding Bitcoin blocks to the chain and earning that sweet Bitcoin and it’s all under 21 million units so you’ve got all of these different sectors expanding and the topic of today’s video is the different Bitcoin markets associated to all of these components now energy in terms of electricity is its own market but we’ll start with the energy sector in the context of carbon accounting so CO2E and that’s associated to kilowatt megawws you name it the different types of power sources have different carbon accounting associated to them in terms of electricity everyone may be familiar with dollar per kilowatt hour because think of it like this the two biggest markets that you may have association to are the energy any energy markets and financial markets those are the two core markets that just about any human interacts with when you go to fill up your gas or petrol shall I say from the uh petrol station or gas station um you’re interacting with the energy market from a consumer side of things uh utilities heating bills all those sorts of things have an energy cost associated to it to the the inputs to your life or to everything that you consume that’s the other side of things uh everything has a cost to produce and that that cost can be derived in energy energy markets now Bitcoin mining hardware mining hardware is something that converts electricity into hash rate we refer to this as jewels per terahash that’s electrical conversion of energy cost for hash rate output think of the miles per gallon of your car the the the gallon is the the cost of your fuel that energy that you’re filling up at the station and your miles is your distance your performance and that performance in in Bitcoin’s terms is hash rate the amount of computations per second which is finding and seeking Bitcoin blocks now jewels per terahash can be different for different machines the lower the the lower the energy per hash rate output which means the lower the jewels per terahash metric the more expensive the machine is so there’s there’s correlation to dollar per terahash so the bitcoin mining hardware market uh comes from two main manufacturers watts miner and bitmain those two make up the majority of the market share but there are new uh competitors entering on the US side of things so uh nearshoring the uh the microchip production line and the history of Bitcoin mining hardware started with Satoshi Nakamoto using his basic laptop CPUs uh or CPU should we say i don’t know if it’s more than one um but as Bitcoin mining got harder and the difficulty adjust raised it it made it more competitive competitiveness in Bitcoin mining hardware terms is keep lowering this conversion efficiency of jewels per terahash lower and lower and the lowest right now is about 10 jewels per terahash and the the average is about 22 jewels per terash which means that the lower it is the more expensive and the the higher the jewels per terash the less efficient and if anyone’s looking at uh buying a Bitcoin mining electric heater It’s wise that if you are uh try try to understand the the conversion efficiency and understand the the price premium associated to the chips because it will make sense that the older more inefficient higher jewels per terahash chips are the ones used for hardware heaters because the chips are a lot more cheaper think of it like the the the different iPhones the latest iPhone is the latest chips so it’s the most expensive the old iPhones are like onetenth of the price and it’s the same with Bitcoin mining hardware now next to hash rate hash rate you can think of as more of the the uptime of the computer think of it like uh this computer in a box in China versus a computer the exact same model brand new same as in the box but plugged in in the US so it’s been exported from China imported to the US uh shipping duties taxes logistics you name it and it’s actively plugged in on a power contract and uh consuming electricity to produce hash power in real time so you can think of it as the the uptime because if you look at the the public Bitcoin miners they’ll they’ll say they have a certain amount of hash rate but there’ll also be a metric maybe related to how much hash rate they have online so the uptime because you can only produce Bitcoin blocks with uh the combination of a power contract a computer and an internet connection so this is more associated to hash rate that is directly available and on the blockchain side of things uh the pricing system for this is a little bit unknown uh I’ll get to that another day but it’s more so to the mining pools i would say you’ve got this association that a lot of people don’t solo mine solo mine is when the miner is projecting their own hash rate to produce their own blocks and and create their own templates which is defining which transactions are going into their block and so uh most miners are actually just selling their hash rate at a certain amount so it’s amount of BTC per terash of performance over time um energy cost performance and time affords you money Bitcoin and so that’s selling to the pools and different pools have different uh payout s payout methods uh FPS uh f first pay share first uh there’s there’s several there there’s so many different payout types now the overall approach is that um you want to be paid for your your share of the compute relative to the the whole pool and on the blockchain side of things you can consider this hash rate contracts now hash rate contracts are this same metric but you’re defining this this time period so the amount of Bitcoin per terash per day a pool is uh well you’re selling your hash rate to the pool in real time and that payout is more so related to they find a block they distribute the block to all the miners that are connected to their pool it’s it’s a pool they uh they generate revenue and distribute it out and take their fee but the hash rate contract side of things is there’s certain mining pools like Niceash um and Luxaw that are doing more sort of financial based hash rate hash rate contracts and uh it’s the same thing Bitcoin per terahash or even per xahash so you can multiply this all up by uh well a million um and and the time thing as well if it’s a 90-day contract or a oneweek contract or whatever the amount is you’re you’re adjusting the the time period here um so let’s just write 90 90 days and so the pricing there is it could be it could be dollarized you buy in it could be bitcoin but the whole point is it’s it’s uh a minor is effectively selling and locking in a certain rate a certain amount of bitcoin per terahash per x amount of time so they’re locking in a a hedge to the downside that if if mining revenue dropped if the price dropped because subsidy is the majority of mining revenue and subsidy is directly ti tied to a quantity of Bitcoin and a quantity of Bitcoin has a dollarized price and the buyer of these contracts would be speculators of going to the upside or even uh if a if a hardware if a person is trying to buy machines uh and they’re going to take a month to to deliver and they think that this month’s going to do really well with mining where you’d buy into a hash rate contract and you’re capturing that upside whilst your machine is uh on a boat from China and then on the Bitcoin side of things last but not least Bitcoin to the dollar and that isn’t the only one actually we can get rid of that because everyone’s heard of that one and we can actually use the one and only uh Bitcoin unit of account uh pricing system so far which is Bitcoin per virtual bite which is when you want to send Bitcoin you char you pay a fee and that fee is associated to the quantity of data that you’re filling in that block and all the different people uh trying to transact their their transaction amount the fee associated is the the data size multiplied by the uh by the fee rate multiplied by the amount of space that they’re filling in the block and yeah so these are all the different markets that are going to be associated and connected to the Bitcoin network carbon accounting of different energy sources uh the electrical grid and the pricing whether it’s in a contract or paying the variable rate of um of you know the live energy market of of supply and demand um production of compute power so the hardware in of itself has an efficiency metric which is based on its price and the location being is it a you know the age of the machine the efficiency of the machine uh the thermal damage maybe to the machine more so to relate to the age um hash rate being sold to mining pools and the different payout options and types that they have the Bitcoin blockchain and the well the delivery and and financialization of hash rate contracts um there’s going to be hash rate bonds in the future another topic and on the consumption side of finance which is when you send some Bitcoin the fee market the the mempool so yeah these are all the different markets of the entire Bitcoin network intrinsic to the economic energy ecosystem of energy and finance as a circular economy these are all the core components of Bitcoin and there’s other little bits that that slot in here like uh hash rate is is that internet connection component so it’s the the computer connected to power source and to an internet connection and the blockchain side of things is data uh connected to a node bitcoin miners have the right access to add blocks and decide which transactions go into the blockchain and once they’re in the blockchain and that the that information is distributed to all the different nodes and those nodes are well tracking all of the information associated to the blockchain um and all they’ve all got a copy and that’s the the that’s the decentralization on the consumption side of things and uh the owners of that that data the the Bitcoin wallets and holders and yeah none of that Bitcoin moves unless the physical decentralization of the network um updates the the chain and on the digital side that person has signed their transaction with their with their encryption through a private key and and Yeah so these sorts of there’s such a beautiful amount of interplay between energy and finance consumption and production and all of these different these different levels have different markets within themselves and they’re all expanding in their own directions you got energy companies utilities hardware manufacturers resellers hash rate heaters mining pools different blockchains and different layers and liquid and lightning um Bitcoin and the financial sector in every platform requiring to move Bitcoin around so they’re always contending with paying for block space and all the sort of financialization of Bitcoin bonds and capital markets and it’s all exploding in its own directions but it’s good to understand it all i hope this was an interesting video i’m going to explore all of these different topics in more videos to come i hope you like this video uh share it to the group chat share it to the best Bitcoiner or you’re the biggest hater of Bitcoiner i don’t mind all of this is intrinsically connected to each other through physics and maths and if if someone wants to argue 1 plus 1 is two then uh let’s have at it see you next time goodbye

Video Transcript:
hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and the topic of today’s video is how high can Bitcoin fly now here at the Academy we teach from a fundamentals first perspective when it comes to bitcoin delving with the energy sector first then going into Bitcoin mining that consumes that energy produces compute power Network hash rate and captures all of those 450 Bitcoin that is distributed in4 44 blocks per day now all of that is important in the context of today’s video looking at price for the reasons of well let me roll it back I used to trade I used to do all of the weird and wonderful build algorithmic systems scripts indices anything that could give me as much information about trading as possible because you want as much information to to make clear decisions and it was only until I got into Bitcoin mining did I truly understand Bitcoin from a price perspective and think of it how many of your friends that trade maybe how many of them actually understand mining not just from a technical side but actually the economics and where the production floor aspects come into this and this is where I want to go with this you’ve got to understand bitcoin’s underlying fundamentals otherwise you’re just you’re going to the supermarket and trading Goods without actually knowing what the farmers are doing with them and how they produce them and the underlying aspects of how the cost basis of Bitcoin can be from electricity not from dollars and so what I’d like to delve into is we’ll go into the upside but you’ve got to First understand this Bitcoin right now has a network average production cost of about $50,000 now this is important for a couple of reasons but we’ll start with this price trades as a supply and demand dollar premium on the consumption side of Bitcoin and if you’re productive and you have access to cheap electricity and computers you can produce at a lower level and as a network average it’s about $5,000 per Bitcoin that miners produce at so that means that they spend $50,000 on electricity that’s their cost and they produce one Bitcoin in this example so spend 50 earn a Bitcoin but with the cost of the machine over time getting paid off now this is important because what if the price of Bitcoin in this example was to drop below production and the miner had the ability to sell the power back to the grid so if he had it at the same price he sells his electricity here back to the Grid or even slightly higher because they contract lower rates so they might be able to even capture a higher price so this means that if the price goes below production the minor isn’t doing the typical Arbitrage of buy energy sell Bitcoin by producing it but the other way round that is to sell the energy and buy the Bitcoin because if price dropped below production if price was 45k and production was 50 he sells the electricity gets his 50k and buys 45k Bitcoin so we could buy slightly more now this is important in the context of this if price is at the same as production that’s a ratio of 100% one: one but if price was 200,000 that ratio of 50 versus the 200k that’s 25% or halfway through uh the 50% and it obviously keeps going up and up and up and the percentage gets smaller so basically what I want to offer as a piece of information is go into theh into the hash power Academy and learn anything and everything you want wants do about all of these layers and we’ll learn about how production cost relative to price is the best decision-making uh percentage even to to buying when price is close to production use this percentage as a multiplier for your your purchase amounts of Bitcoin whether it’s a DCA and when price deviates really high from production uh use a lower percentage and this percentage of the difference between price and production is just a really great decision maker because how low will bitcoin price go well if the price is shut up to here and you’re like should I should I buy at 300 because I think it will pump to 400 I don’t know it’s up to you but I have an understanding and a fundamental knowledge of how low bitcoin price could go but let’s take this example let’s say the price has shot up to 300,000 and production has raised up to well let’s be nice 150k right well now the percentages between the price to production premium is the percentage between 150k production floor and the 300K which brings us back to a 50% and what I’m trying to say is if price as we’ve discussed at the start goes below production well that means that there’s a natural buyer that steps in who sells their power and buys bit coin the producers of the of the network and the easy example for this is when s bankman freed was trying to suppress the price of Bitcoin below $20,000 what he might not have realized is below $20,000 was was the point in which he was trying to push the price below production and a natural buyer steps in the miners the most uh hard hardest Believers in Bitcoin because they don’t buy Bitcoin direct they buy computers that will accumulate it over time so their belief in Bitcoin is so strong that they don’t even buy Bitcoin directly they uh they uh build out the network infrastructure for the for the system instead and yes continually over time both of these Will Change Productions continually CH changing with the amount of hash rate online so the difficulty adjustment is a good metric for you to understand the amount of hash rate and the amount of energy within the Bitcoin Network in fact the three layers I like to refer to it as is Network energy Network hash rate and network Revenue the embodiment of consumption and production with compute in the middle as that that clear uh gauge as to how much compute and and Bitcoin being settled per block because all the different moving Parts if uh the harving comes along the production floor doubles and I actually like to call it uh for the miners the Haring is the doubling because their revenue Cuts in half but there electrical bill stays the same which means their production flaw doubles but for everyone else they’re calling it The harving but yeah to to M as it’s the the doubling so to speak and that production flaw continually increasing alongside price gives you the best percentage difference between as to gauging the value of Bitcoin when the price is close to production really good value really good opportunity to buy because you can buy at the same rate that miners produce with all their millions of dollars of hard Ware compute and infrastructure and how far it deviates away well that’s uh that’s the pre the premium so what you’re doing is you can compare the the reward what you think the upside is versus the risk which is the downside to the production floor so you have a dynamic decision maker of how much risk versus reward that you’re willing to to take and this works um I don’t recommend selling Bitcoin but uh it works the other way around you can understand and is it a good time to sell uh absolutely not if it’s the production floor is it a good time to buy so you could essentially do if you want one minus the percentage price difference between price and production but I’ll I’ll do some more videos on this but the the key gauge here is that everything in the Bitcoin network is moving and price isn’t just the dollar to Bitcoin exchange rate it’s the electricity to Bitcoin exchange rate through Mining and you don’t have to delve into mining but at least learn the economics behind it and this is why we call it the hash power Academy because hash power is that bridge the Wormhole between all of the physical side of Bitcoin and the infrastructure being built and the digital side of blockchain and all the different layers being built on top so I hope this was an interesting video I liked making it and uh I will look forward to the comments section and send this video off to the group chats the trading chats and uh hopefully I’m sure someone will build some uh interesting indicators with this sort of knowledge um I’m sure the smart money is using it and uh I think you guys should too this is also not Financial advice as well I’m going to throw that in there as well so enjoy and I will see you in the next one goodbye

How Subsidy changes the VALUE of your Bitcoin?! | Hashpower Academy
Youtube VideosWelcome to Hashpower Academy, where we unpack Bitcoin’s value shifts. In “How Subsidy Changes the VALUE of Your Bitcoin?!,” we dive into subsidies, fees, and what pumps your BTC’s worth.
What’s Covered:
Subsidy basics: Block rewards price against miners energy and hashrate.
Halving effect: Every 4 years, energy reprices—BTC buying power jumps.
Fees rising: Data storage in blocks drives fees, not BTC amount.
Fee takeover: When subsidies fade, fees rule the game.
Fee surges: Quantum wallet shifts could spike activity big-time.
Key Insights:
Energy link: Halvings cut subsidy, hike BTC’s energy value.
Fee shift: Data size matters—more bytes, more fees.
Quantum push: Moving to secure wallets = fee market boom.
Miner pivot: From subsidy cash to fee-driven future.
Why Watch:
See how halvings juice your Bitcoin’s power.
Prep for the fee era—and quantum’s wild ride.

Video Transcript:
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 it’s fundamental layers of Technologies and commodities and the context of today’s video is subsidy is inevitably trending to zero every four years the amount of Bitcoin per block per 10 minutes every four years that cuts in half and the amount of Bitcoin distributed to those miners consuming energy on the grids producing that compute to earn all of that Bitcoin per day well if the amount of Bitcoin per day Cuts in half and the amount of electricity they consume stays the same well their production cost doubles and the amount of Bitcoin that you need to use to purchase that electricity think of it the other way around well that increases so the harving event essentially doubles your purchasing power we’ll get into that later in the video so the typical approach here is to understand that subsidy and fees represent the total block rewards so every time a miner finds the next block in the chain they earn the quantity of subsidy which right now is 3.125 Bitcoin and they earn some fees which I’m being generous and writing 0.1 and so this represents a massive dichotomy between the amount of subsidy per block being over 95 plus% of block reward and the 5% being fees and again that’s generous it’s typically about 90 8% subsidy so this is to say that the 98% component of what miners are being paid is inevitably going to cut in half and then four years later cut in half again again and again again so their revenue is trending to zero and what we want is fees to increase so I have drawn the 0.1 Bitcoin in blue here this line and this is to say that when fees take over the majority of the block block rewards is going to be in about 20 plus years time from now when there’s multiple harving enough to the point where 0.1 uh is enough that it’s more than 50% of the block that they earn and subsidy represents issuance it’s just inflation of the full 21 million Bitcoin being uh issued into circulation and fees represent economic activity because when you send some Bitcoin you pay a fee and that fee represents not the quantity of Bitcoin that you send if you send more send less you don’t pay more unless the transaction data is more your paying for storage space of data and Bitcoin per VTE is the original unit of account pricing system for Block space the amount of data storage that you use to store your transaction information now what we want in an ideal world is more stimulation of economic activity on the consumption monetary side of Bitcoin so that the amount of fees per block were to increase and what we want is a point in which fees are more than subsidy and I believe this is a change um in the circumstances of Bitcoin to where we shift more away from a store of value phase and more onto a medium of exchange which probably does correlate to these sorts of Market phases the the store of value phase is people’s dollariz perception of Bitcoin just absolutely shooting up its own scurve think of it like a bell curve here and the medium of exchange phase that point in which subsidy drops below fees that could represent a medium of exchange aspect and when the majority of block rewards to miners are mostly fees well that could be the unit of account phase um and these three phases represent the full S curve with the steepest part being here and that truly correlates to the amount of adoption curve we we will see I believe because we’re at such a low percentage of adoption the amount of energy that the network consumes relative to Global energy is a very nominal percent and the amount of settlement on the Block space side of things in transaction settlement is still very low the market cap of Bitcoin and dollarized terms still very low and so there is a lot of upside potential for a global monetary system based on energy and the whole aspect of subsidy inevitably trending to zero means that miners will need to stimulate more economic activity in the network to ensure that fees per block overtakes the subsidy in relative time and this inevitable Trend to zero means that well subsidy is fixed issuing that full supply of 21 million and fees can continually increasing there are several reasons why fees could massively increase and one of them is actually to do with Quantum Computing because what happens is if we need to update the Bitcoin blockchain to have Quantum resistant wallets and messaging systems within the blockchain well you would have to move all of the old Bitcoin and old wallets into new Quantum resistant wallets and so you have this limit of all of this data that could not just the Bitcoin as money but also data each transaction and quantity stored in different wallets is a certain amount of data that would need to move through and settle in Bitcoin blocks and if it’s limited and constrained to 144 per day well there’s going to be a lot of people fighting to get in the next lift which is a good analogy for understanding the fee Market because the fee Market works in the sense of uh a long line of people waiting to get in a lift that comes every 10 minutes and there’s only so much space in the lift so everyone’s um bidding with I’m willing to pay this quantity of Bitcoin I’m willing to pay this quantity and the size of the transaction is essentially the size of the person uh the amount of space that you fill in the lift so your you’re paying for the space and you’re paying for the the privilege of more Bitcoin to to be the first in the block because the Bitcoin blockchain interestingly enough if uh if you’re not settled in space because you’ve not paid a high enough fee your transaction is stored in time it’s put into the next block into the next block and you can use uh websites such as mempool dospace as a really good uh UI to understand what the blockchain’s doing right now and all the different pricing systems but yeah the overall approach here is this if the amount of Bitcoin per block is mostly subsidy and this in in introduces a pricing system where uh when miners want to sell the power back to the grid they are comparing it to this amount of Revenue that they can earn on the digital side if the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt or megawatt is more favorable by selling it locally they just switch the machines off or scale the machines down they can underclock them and if the amount of Bitcoin they earn continually drops it means that they’re going to be willing to sell that electricity at a lower and lower price so when everyone talks talks about Bitcoin taking over and stealing everyone’s energy no in fact actually they’re going to try and build out as much more compute and it’s going to get continually priced cheaper and cheaper over time at a price that they are willing to sell it and you holding Bitcoin well if the amount of Bitcoin exchanged into energy keeps getting cheaper over time you got to flip this the other way around it means you now need less Bitcoin to buy the energy and over time this works as a new pricing system because there’s math ma matical layers between all of this it’s all intrinsically connected through physics maths and finance I hope this was an interesting video I hope you enjoy and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place that we delve into anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of Technologies and commodities and the topic of today’s video is a little bit different it’s more of a story of mine in which I did a trip through a bunch of the Central American countries starting with Costa Rica going through Nicaragua Honduras El Salvador and finishing in finishing in Guatemala and it was a lovely trip I went through all different places volcanoes and ancient ruins it was the most beautiful memorable trip but there was one country that resonated with me the most and it was El Salvador there was all these pre-assumptions about El Salvador because before we just got to the Border it was like right we’re going to have an armed guard and one of the first towns that we got into uh along the High Street there was you know a typical High Street is shop shop restaurant shop but this High Street was shop Funeral Home Funeral Home Funeral Home shop and it was quite daunting it was a bit Eerie actually to see so many caskets being sold and all that uh pre prejudgment uh and warning from from the tour guide as to it being a dangerous country and learning about it beforehand before the trip and it’s a bit like Bitcoin actually all these sort of pre-assumptions as to what it is and how it is but actually of all the different countries that I visited in in Central America it was the one that resonated the most El Salvador resonated with this positivity and this potential and one of the stops was uh in the in the city and we got to meet with some students they were learning English so they got to talk with us and you could just see it in their eyes there’s prosperity and hope for a better world and a better future and so I am very much looking forward to going back to El Salvador again and because at the point in time I did that trip I was just about getting into Bitcoin and and and well now El Salvador is adopted Bitcoin they’ve got a uh Bitcoin forward approach leader they are building out infrastructure to do with Bitcoin and that is anything and everything that I’m interested to do now I don’t teach in Spanish but I would like to have some form of educational Outreach to have all of the the work that I like to teach Bitcoin in the framework of energy space and time the energy sector the physical aspects the Bitcoin mining the compute power fact I have it all here and all of these different subject areas are the way that I teach Bitcoin from all the fundamentals of energy going into compute and then Bitcoin in the monetary context last these are the pieces that will never change about Bitcoin from production all the way to consumption and uh well a place like El Salvador that is um was on it was on the lower economically developed scale and there was lots of crime and now it’s completely flipped to a more abundant place to to build and prosper and so the the opportunities for all these different areas of the Bitcoin Network to to thrive and interconnect um it’s it’s going to be wonderful there and yeah I’m definitely looking forward to visiting again so I hope this was a a different sort of video an insightful video if there’s any listeners from El Salvador that want to learn English or learn Bitcoin and English at the same time this would be the place for you and um yeah any questions comments theories send them my way and I hope to see you in the next video goodbye

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scandin I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and the message of today’s video is dear Norway why are you not mining Bitcoin and using all of your beautiful hydr power and monetizing it by exporting it through computers onto the internet and storing that energy as a form of money based on energy that you guys have a sovereign wealth fund that is massive and your your business model as a country is to generate lots of power and Export it globally and what does money do it moves in the opposite direction of goods and services so as a nation you are very wealthy and what does Bitcoin do well Bitcoin as a system and what we do here at the hash power Academy is teach from a fundamentals first perspective and this is to say that the Bitcoin Network right now is consuming and monetizing about 17.6 GW of power at a conversion rate of about 22 watts per terahash that’s producing the network hash rate of the blockchain of 800 ex aash or 800 million terahash and what is all of that hash power trying to find it’s trying to find the next block in the chain and capture some of this 450 Bitcoin per day and what this does is create a direct pricing system between the worlds of energy production and monetary consumption on the internet and the 2 first century Information Age and AI Computing and all of these sorts of things have all these parallels across the energy comput and financial sectors the 21st century is based on the electricity grid and the availability of energy and the availability of network communications and connections Norway has a massive opportunity to be part of this system the opinions of decision makers don’t really matter when the maths is solid that electricity is directly converted into compute which captures and issues manages and settles the economic energy production of a new form of money that is fixed in Supply and the majority of people are holding and so that uh pricing of it continually increases what makes Bitcoin go up is that it’s hard to produce it builds a production floor in electricity and the price operates as a premium to that electrical production floor and so if Norway were to add that own energy capacity to the Bitcoin Network consume that electricity in Bitcoin mining hardware and produce heat you know it’s nice to keep warm in the winter and all of that excess compute power would allow you to fight for your share of the 450 plus Bitcoin that is distributed to those 144 blocks per day and all of these components are all mathmatically linked there’s no opinion in this you literally fight for what’s yours and it’s all on the internet a place of digital abstractive constant multiplication and over hyper consumption this constrains a form of money that operates on the internet but it’s tethered and intrinsically connected to the real world of energy so it has all of these valuable properties of scarce fixed hard secure decentralized and all of these sorts of things truly embody something that Norway could be a part of you have a sovereign wealth fund a storage system for all of this energy potential of your nation Bitcoin does the exact same all of the energy potential of the system is stored in well a database that requires energy to update it and monetary units that operate in that database as a way of transferring value peer-to-peer without any intermediary I hope this was an interesting video I hope to visit Norway one day and uh I’m going to make more videos related to different countries I’m very interested to look at the different sorts of heating system applications and technologies that will be deployed in Norway because Bitcoin mining is a heating system where the same energy input well creates a heat output which is of economic value to Farms schools pools District heating but also a secondary Revenue stream of converting that electricity instead of running it through coils you run it through microchips it’s the same energy use but having a valuable heat output and a compute output which subsidizes some of that cost of that energy use it’s more efficiency and Europe loves efficiency or we hope and other things you can do is deploy these Bitcoin miners in other areas such as gas fields in other places in the planet and the the carbon accounting aspect of methane mining that there is inevitably gas Wells that are constantly well burning you have to burn it to reduce the in effects of methane and you can capture that energy with Bitcoin mining monetize it and hell if you don’t want to uh keep the Bitcoin convert it into carbon credits I do believe that because Bitcoin has these mathematical connections to energy and energy has a direct connection to carbon accounting that we can connect Bitcoin to carbon because both carbon and Bitcoin are just as borderless and wireless as each other so the only system that’s going to be able to account carbon in a in an effective way is going to be Bitcoin but that’s an idea and a topic for another day I hope you like this video I hope you enjoy and I will hope to visit your lovely country soon goodbye

so this is a video to directly communicate with anyone of a entrepreneurial mind you want to build something you want to add value to the world and the world’s in a bit of a chaotic place right now there’s always lots of changes politically economically socially mentally physically in every shape in every way in every form but first let me introduce myself hello there my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the hash power Academy this is where learn about everything and anything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of countless different topics because Bitcoin is not just money on the internet and a blockchain but all these other different components that you need to learn first so module one starts with energy and the carbon conversation of the different types of power that we produce module two is about grids and the electricity that we all consume all Need for everything and hardware and heat you had your laptop on your lap before gets warm and so all of that electricity that these computers consume whether it’s a tiny little device or a large as6 specific machine that mins Bitcoin they produce a lot of heat and that adds a lot of value to the world or the compute power these computers are doing all of that processing power is the electricity essentially getting exported and sent into the internet uploaded shall we say and what gets downloaded Bitcoin into your wallet through through the blockchain a storage system for data because transactions and money is just data and Bitcoin is a specific type of data uh I grew up playing video games and every game had some form of in-game currency and people of a younger age have a intrinsic understanding to digital value people of an older generation might prefer to use cash because that’s what they grew up with that’s what they know they have deep intrinsic connection to the physical world but people of a younger age we have this understanding and connection to things being digital and being able to assign value to them and that’s what Bitcoin is it’s a form of currency that is natively living on the internet but it requires electricity to produce it through compute power and compute power has a lot of parallels particularly AI so everything you hear about AI has the same stack of requirements as Bitcoin it costs a lot of money to produce AI gpus Computing microchips and all the bits of Technology Associated to it the compute power in of itself and the intelligence and software and code behind it but also AI compute consumes a lot of energy and these different parallels transcend across to Everyday Life a farmer needs a lot of energy a lot of technology and converts what good he produces into money and so what I’m trying to say with making all of these analogies and compar comparisons is Bitcoin is a form of money that aligns the physical world and the digital world back as one that a lot of us are so disconnected say on one side of the coin or the other we’re either really in the physical world or really in the digital world and and our life is sort of split between the two and it’s not woo woo to say that Bitcoin I believe is going to have some sort of realignment bringing Humanity back towards a path in which both of these worlds live together because it’s a currency system based on energy the energy is not wasted by consuming it Bitcoin mining it secures the blocks of the blockchain and so it’s a storage system for information on money that cannot be penetrated and if you want to penetrate the system and break it you get paid for doing it in the process that’s Bitcoin mining a different way to see it so if you want to delve into any of these subjects and every of these every one of these subjects this is the YouTube channel for you I hope you enjoy I hope you like subscribe ask me any questions in the comments and I will get back to you as soon as I can goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place that we delve into anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities this is to say that we delve from a fundamentals first perspective going through everything of the energy sector electricity compute power and the export of energy onto the internet to add Bitcoin blocks to the chain which issues and settles Bitcoin transactions with the subsidy adding that full supply of 21 million units now the question of the day is how Bitcoin miners can pump their bags or shall I say compute them because they are producing all of this energy converting it into compute and capturing the amount of Bitcoin that is available within blocks whether it’s subsidy or fees and what I want to delve into is the fact that the total 21 million supply that’s being majority of it is just not moving at all which is good because it’s pricing all of this energy against a smaller quantity of Bitcoin which does raise the purchasing power of Bitcoin because from the mining side of things you’ve got an energy cost with an output of Bitcoin but if you were trying to buy energy on a Bitcoin unit of account in the future this exchange rate favors buyers who are trying to buy this energy with this quantity of Bitcoin when divided down to per Bitcoin or per kilowatt depending on what the the size of the energy purchase is because this creates the curtailment rate of how much you’re willing to sell the electricity to the local grid or compute it into the global money and my overall approach here is it boils down to a statement bitcoin miners need to stimulate economic activity that is to say that yes we can deploy hardware and focus on all of the mining aspects of things but that truly is this tunnel vision focus on the energy sector but the financial sector side of things is where the money comes in that the more transaction velocity the more volume of Bitcoin moving and the demand for block space needs to be stimulated this isn’t just going to occur from the quantity of people joining into the Bitcoin network and yes that will raise the the amount of fees per block and the fee market side of things but we need to stimulate economic activity with this wider pool of 21 million units that is the opportunity because only a small amount is actually traded and the amount settled per day is 0.02% of the supply and so all of these different pieces come into play that this side of things is very clear innovate greater more efficient compute innovate more greater more efficient uh energy production so the two vectors of energy and technology they’re always going to be racing and pioneering their own paths to build out a playing field of opportunity for humanity but on the financial side of things everything in orange here we want to make this number bigger in reference to more economic activity subsidy has a direct relationship to the dollar because there is nothing behind subsidy it’s just a quantity of Bitcoin being issued and because there is a dollarized mindset to people’s attachment to what a quantity of Bitcoin is worth and subsidy has nothing else to it subsidy is going to have that intrinsic relationship to the Bitcoin dollar pricing aspect of things it’s fees a fee is referenced to a larger quantity of Bitcoin in movement and that fee can represent an even larger quantity of Bitcoin in a layer 2 or even layer three as a wider field of economic activity on this side of things we want more of this Bitcoin moving in the sense of economic activity on a Bitcoin unit of account this is why I have started the Hash Power Academy to educate people about these more fundamental layers and finance is still part of this conversation so I hope people have questions queries in the comments because uh I have many ideas as to how we can stimulate economic activity here uh I believe that hash rate has a very strong component in this conversation because it is the bridge between the two worlds it’s the decision maker as to whether to consume that energy into Bitcoin or to switch it off and that creates an aspect of grid and Bitcoin relationship where well the the flip-flop between these two worlds will ensure that Bitcoin has a pricing to electricity and if we can price electricity on a Bitcoin unit of account which is somewhat already happening today the the miners who are buying and selling power on the grid are continually going to correlate the Bitcoin per kilowatt price closer and closer to the average revenue rate of the network as a whole because they are natural buyers above revenue and sell and buyers below uh their revenue rate of Bitcoin per kilowatt and they will sell the energy above their revenue rate of Bitcoin per kilowatt curtailment which is already happening today and so naturally I believe that the price of energy on grids over time with the adoption of Bitcoin mining on the electricity grids everyone talks about uh adoption on the the user consumption side but there’s also the energy production side of things and the adoption curve there so I think the duopoly between energy and finance with compute in the middle is where the education needs to be and where the products services and markets need to be to stimulate more economic activity on a Bitcoin unit of account and compute being that internal medium of exchange between the worlds of energy and finance there’s lots of ideas lots of comments lots of queries that you could share with me in the comments i will see you there hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one like subscribe and all that fun stuff goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hash Power Academy My name is Jake Scandlin I’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place that we delve into anything and everything about Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities Delving into everything from energy compute and finance production technologies Bitcoin mining and the blockchain and everything in between We delve into everything But the topic of today is how low can Bitcoin go and I’d like to just share a few uh thoughts So I used to trade Bitcoin in an algorithmic way I used to build little bots and mess around with all that sort of stuff I built indicators and codes and scripts and everything in between before I got into Bitcoin mining And only when I learned about Bitcoin mining’s fundamentals did I truly understand the charts so to speak from a price context So the first thing I’d like to say is price is a premium You are paying for the convenience of exchanging uh bit of dollars into bitcoin at a rate that you had no cost required to to make that bitcoin But a bitcoin miner is deploying millions of dollars of hardware and exchanging his electricity into bitcoin And what is that current exchange rate And it’s fundamental to to the very specific topic of today The average network production cost right now is about4 to $50,000 And this is continually increasing over time Every time there’s a hinging event the uh electrical bill stays exactly the same for the miner but their uh amount of Bitcoin that they mine cuts in half So their production cost increases Now why is this production floor price fundamental to your trading knowledge Is because as I said price is a premium What’s what’s more intrinsic The exchange rate of electricity into Bitcoin or dollars into Bitcoin It’s the electricity a sought after commodity in this world And Bitcoin miners have two options They can either consume the energy buy the energy and produce Bitcoin sell it They are the commodity producer so they sell it So it’s buy energy sell Bitcoin Or if the price were to go below production why would you spend $45,000 of electricity to earn a $40,000 Bitcoin You wouldn’t You’d rather sell the $45,000 of electricity back to the grid and buy the $40,000 Bitcoin This is to say that when price ever goes below production which it rarely rarely does this is an opportunity for miners to just switch the machines off sell the power and buy the Bitcoin in a greater quantity than simply mining it And so what happens is the minor production floor price ends up being an intrinsic buying floor in which a natural buyer of Bitcoin steps in at the exchange rate of electricity to Bitcoin versus the dollar And the price to the dollar is a premium And so your understanding of the best time to buy Bitcoin should be framed around the dynamic difference between these two prices the electricity to Bitcoin exchange rate minor production and the Bitcoin to dollar exchange rate The closer the price gets to production the greater the value of the Bitcoin because it actually the Bitcoin allows you to buy more electricity from the miners That’s a topic for another day in which to say that the value of Bitcoin increases when the dollar price decreases And for example if the price right now were to shoot to 250,000 but the production floor is still 40 50,000 Bitcoin miners would be earning for $1 of electricity they’d be earning four to$5 of Bitcoin or even more So their mining profitability shoots through the roof And that is a good time to sell because naturally if you look through all of the historical cycles when the mining production floor versus the price is about 4x that is to say that when the Bitcoin price went to $20,000 um years and years ago the production floor was about one well 18th of that price a four to eight times production premium and that that difference between the two if price gets too far from production it’s time to sell When it gets really really close or even below it then it’s time to buy And so how low do I think Bitcoin could potentially go Well this is the network average with an electrical rate of about 5 cent per kilowatt There’s a lot of retail miners and they produce Bitcoin at about $73,000 And the public Bitcoin miners like Marathon and Bit Farms and all those other big ones they can produce Bitcoin close to 30 40,000 per Bitcoin And so you’ve got this entire zone that if p price were to drop into these levels there is a significant amount of those miners that will be doing that electricity arbitrage of switching their machines off Hash rate drops and the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt for the other miners would actually increase And so natural buyers step in at all these levels I hope this is an interesting sort of video I hope this was a different sort of video for you if you are a trader But I’d like to offer my thoughts that trading has that aspect of being a zero sum game Exchanges are always wanting you to use their platform and offer anything and everything to do so But you’re only going to have the best information about price if you understand the fundamentals of production Understanding that say Satoshi didn’t log into a platform and buy his Bitcoin He converted electricity into Bitcoin You don’t have to delve into mining but it is fundamental to learn about to understand what the production sector of Bitcoin are doing at these fundamental levels because Bitcoin miners are accumulating Bitcoin at a different exchange rate with electricity And the efficiency of their machine aggregates where in this price chart they are And so all of these different price levels are going to have natural buyers step in So anything from about $70,000 down to 30 natural buyers step in and accumulate Bitcoin at those ultimate prices because isn’t it good to be able to exchange dollars into Bitcoin at the same rate that producers with millions of dollars worth of hardware are able to exchange it You’re getting it at the same rate at the producers Now that’s a bargain I hope this was a good video Hope you liked it Subscribe send it to the group chat the trading chat and all that fun stuff and I will see you in the next one Goodbye

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake i’m the lead educator here at the academy and this video today is to just delve into some insightful perspectives as to what Bitcoin does as an entire network and it’s all under 21 million units that’s the crazy part so what does Bitcoin do well we teach from a fundamentals first perspective which is to say we delve into everything to do with the energy sector first then the microchips and Bitcoin mining aspect of things that produces the compute power which produces Bitcoin blocks which produces Bitcoin the data money on the blockchain and so you’ve got all of these different components and they’re always changing expanding and being developed into all different weird and wonderful things in their own right there’s different companies in all these different sectors there’s some that have vertically integrated through the whole stack that’s the best place to be and so let’s run through the layers well producing energy well that just delves us into the the concept of planetary infrastructure energy production is the most important aspect of the prosperity of society if we didn’t have energy what you’d be heating your house with fire we’d be back to the dark ages we have to produce more energy and we’ve continually produced more energy and the GDP of countries directly correlates to the energy use of a nation so if you try and reduce the amount of energy of a country you literally just make yourself poor you put on the brakes of human prosperity and what does Bitcoin do it monetizes this industry the electricity now has an economic value on the internet through Bitcoin mining and so it creates a circular economy they can spend money producing energy and that energy converts into money or sold to the local grid and you’ve got that circular economy to continually reinvest and scale this planetary critical infrastructure and electricity in of itself is the most needed commodity of our society it doesn’t matter what job you do or how you do it everything is based on electricity now and the electrification of the world is in full force so everything wants and needs energy to be produced transferred transportation logistics your car and everything in between microchip monetization engine so all of these computers that’s consuming that electricity that’s being produced by the energy sector these computers well they need to be purchased and so there are continual monetization and an incentive structure for R&D in better more dense uh faster quicker chips whether it’s your phone and the older generations as the best analogy and the latest phone comes out and the latest phone comes out why it’s because you continually keep buying phones and so there is an incentive to continually produce better phones bitcoin mining is a demand to acquire microchips that can exchange electrical cost into digital economic value we can call Bitcoin so the demand for compute power and to to gain more compute power is always there and what is all this compute power doing well the digital aspect of Bitcoin mining represents the world’s most powerful computing network you could combine several supercomputers and they still wouldn’t even break a sweat in comparison well the Bitcoin network won’t break a sweat in comparison to these computers they won’t even have a chance to breach into the network and what do I mean by breach into the network well the Bitcoin blockchain the single most unique important component of the blockchain is that it requires energy to produce it you can have all these other blockchains that do other things and are highly efficient but they do not have a cost of energy to produce which means the units have no intrinsic connection to electricity think of Ethereum they disconnected from their energy cost to produce Ethereum and now they live in this simulated world of value that doesn’t really address underlying fundamentals ethereum could have monetized the GPU industry but they cut them off which is not good and this place this blockchain that has a cost to produce it decentralizes the issuance power of money when the issuance power is centralized like we’re hearing the in the USA where there is just a random group of computers that can just send payments issuing money into circulation without zero accountability how do you feel as a person with your time and energy contracted in an employment contract against those quantity of database units that your time and energy is being stolen just by other people spending your energy it’s not fair and so having a place of absolute digital scarcity a source of truth freedom of speech preserved and all of that energy required to produce it being directly priced against a fixed supply 21 million units so everything everything we’ve just discussed expanding innovating building prosperity to society against 21 million units on this database i digress

if the dollar were to disappear what would replace our currency system how would we coordinate Goods services and resources in a world that still needs more energy and more technology to continue and prosper our society well if you remove the dollar-based aspects of Bitcoin none of this changes so the topic of today’s video is to learn about Bitcoin per megawatt hour this is the pricing system between all of the energy being consumed in real time on the network converted through Bitcoin mining Hardware into hash power compute power a parallel to AI as well and all this hash power is seeking to find the next block in the chain and capture some of this daily Bitcoin that is being offered by the network it’s local energy connected to Global finance and if the dollar were to disappear none of this changes so the video today is going to take you through how you can understand the energy economics of Bitcoin and how if the price on the local grid and demand for the local grid energy is needed what price will a miner be willing to sell the energy locally for because he has a local buyer of energy the grid local grid micro grid Village whatever the size is and he has a global buyer of energy so he has a constant decision to make us to sell my energy locally or consume that energy and turn it into Global money that duopoly is what’s going to introduce a pricing system on a well energy based unit of account economics of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour that’s the smaller denomination but we’re going to use megawatt hours today so let’s begin if 452 Bitcoin is about what 144 blocks which is one day’s worth of bitcoin being distributed to the entire network is the value of consuming energy to that’s that’s the reward for consuming energy shall we say well this divides down to about if we divide it by 24 this divides down to if I remember correctly 18. 83 Bitcoin per hour that the entire network is earning approximately it’s distributed in blocks at that point maybe mining pools and distributed to those miners underneath that are connected to those pools but that 18.8 three Bitcoin per hour you could divide it by six and that’s the amount of Bitcoin per block as well and if this minor represents one megawatt of the entire mining Network at the same efficiency average of the network well we can just divide this well we can divide this figure by this so let’s do that now divide by 17600 which gives us a figure of not 107 Bitcoin per megawatt so all I’ve done is broken down the time aspect of how much Bitcoin is being distributed over time to 1 hour and looking at okay the entire Network’s earning 18.83% Bitcoin per megawatt now for easy numbers we’re going to put it in dollars just so you can understand a reference so if the has purchased his megawatt hour for $50 he’s that’s that’s 5 Cent per kilowatt $50 per megawatt so he spent $50 per megawatt of buying the energy so that is a cost and he’s earning 0.107 which is about $85 of Bitcoin per megawatt now interestingly enough we can divide these two as well We Do 50 ided by 85 oh 50 divided 85 equals 58% so if the Bitcoin price is 80,000 this Bitcoin miner is producing at a production cost of 48 oh 47,000 58% and so there’s all this into Play Between the amount of Bitcoin being distributed per day the amount of energy chasing that Bitcoin and the minor has the cost input of energy and the output revenue of this Bitcoin and when you divide the two you can understand their production cost if he had cheaper if he had cheaper electricity his production cost would drop if he had more efficient mining machines which means this figure was lower the amount of energy cost for the output hash rate which produces Bitcoin and in a dollarized sense yes it’s a bit more understandable at about $85 he’s earning $85 he’s spending $50 right now here’s the interesting thing let’s say this side of the network hasn’t changed it’s just everyone’s operationally producing the amount of compute they can with the energy they have and what if loads of transaction fees race into the network and double this amount the amount 452 if we double it well then it will double the amount of Bitcoin per hour and it will double the amount of Bitcoin per megawatt which means that Miner would want to sell his electricity at Double the price so what I’m trying to say is in a future in which Bitcoin miners are the energy producers and infrastructure Builders of society which is what I believe they are going to to have a dual comparison sell their energy in a quantity of Bitcoin locally or consume that energy and turn it into Global money and that Global money would be the very same currency used to buy energy locally and he would want to to sell it to you at the same rate he can produce or even higher and why would he do that well interestingly enough if a bit coin Miner were to scale down the amount of energy he used uh to convert into compute power it increases the efficiency so it actually adjusts the amount of Bitcoin per megawatt to the upside so the SL the more energy he sells at the same rate he can produce at this particular moment he sells that fraction of energy at the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt he’s earning in the digital side and under clocks the machine which means it raises the efficiency of the machine and so he’s sold some energy at the normal rate of efficiency underclocked the machines are now earning slightly more so the miners are incentivized to sell as much power as they can because they have a real-time pricing system against a global monetary asset and their local efficiency level with the amount of electricity that they have to supply and so Bitcoin mining offers a dynamic price Energy System where it’s not just some fixed amount but it reaches a steady state equilibrium between what’s locally available and what’s globally priced and the computer in the middle can dynamically change how much energy it uses and provide that capacity that’s always available so in a world that we introduce volatile Renewables where in the middle of the day everyone’s producing power in their solar but maybe not so much people are consuming it or the middle of the night and it’s really windy and the wind Farms are going full volume but no one’s consuming that power they have the ability to monetize it into a global monetary asset but when trade transaction is in high demand this energy price in a Bitcoin unit of account will increase if there’s low transaction Demand on the blockchain like really low fees really low fees low activity subsidy drops it reprices all of this energy to be cheaper which means that that Bitcoin as a network reprices our debt-based interest money type system into an energy price based system where if there’s too much consumption in society the cost of producing increases and when there’s not enough consumption in society if the amount of Bitcoin available to be mined the the energy pricing system in this example when there’s not enough consumption in society the cost of producing things drops so it creates this new pricing equilibrium to price all energy Commodities and resources so if you can convert oil into electricity for example and the electricity is priced against the global money that mathematical chain of pricing systems extends to all the different energy Commodities that build everything in society and I’ve also got another one to do with Logistics that if a computer actively plugged in in the USA is deployed racked and hashing it has a different value to the computer sat in a warehouse in China and so you can actually price time and Logistics in a Bitcoin unit of account too but that’s a topic for another day I hope this wasn’t too crazy and complicated if you’ve got any questions throw them in the comments I will break it down in much more simplified terms there’ll be more course material coming out as well so it sort of breaks down these really interesting examples and the bit I didn’t mention is when more energy and compute is joining the network and the difficulty adjustment increases the Bitcoin per megawatt drops now think of it the other way around if you are holding Bitcoin and you’re trying to buy energy the more compute power that joins the network your the amount of energy you can buy with your Bitcoin increases because this this is your this is your purchase cost so if more compute joins the amount of Bitcoin per megawatt drops so the the amount of Bitcoin you need to to spend to buy one megawatt drops and it drops forever over time because it’s Infinity over 21 million units priced at the amount of Bitcoin blocks being distributed per day a pricing system of Global Production and monetary consumption I hope this was an interesting video I hope you enjoy it and I’ll see you in the next one goodbye
