hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I am the lead educator here at the Academy and the subject of today is Bitcoin Hardware wallets these are physical devices that secure the private keys of your Bitcoin that is to say that the Bitcoin is not physically or digitally inside this device but instead your ability to spend the Bitcoin that is what is secured by these devices your private key is the the magical password that enables you to move that Bitcoin to the next wallet because Bitcoin is just data data stored in a blockchain that is updated from Bitcoin mining from the energy sector and so you have this process of blocks being added to the chain through energy that is the security system of this network now the parallel to have with this is that when you spend money on your credit card or your debit card it’s the same thing your money is not in the card it’s just that the card is the authentication device to actually spend it or through a payment terminal you are just confirming your ability to spend it and with these devices they’re going to develop better more uh shall I say more enjoyable experience to to use over time because right now they’re clunky and some people don’t don’t even want to use Hardware devices they would rather Trust their Bitcoin on a platform or with a custodian or one of these other types of IOU setups such as an ETF where it’s you obfuscate all of the responsibility of securing your own Bitcoin and placing it in the trustful hands of someone else which can go extremely wrong and there is a precedent of history in the first 16 years of Bitcoin of people trusting others with their digital money and poof they disappear that is not what we want to happen to you at all so the best advice I can give to you is you need to experiment with this everything in this phase of Bitcoin as it’s so new is experimentation that’s not to say put your life savings on here one of these devices but to start with a small amount justify maybe a purchase of one of these that could be a couple1 pound or dollars um with a couple hundred pound or dollars of Bitcoin start there and go through a gradual process of learning how to set one of these up deposit some Bitcoin into it make sure that you memorize the the words or the seeds or whatever it is that that’s set up for a particular device that you buy all of those different things will allow you to just go through that educational Journey because some people can be quite ignorant or resistant to change and yeah that’s the best advice I can give I of course picked the one that is got the orange plastic sck around it there’s a there’s a bias for things being Orange in this world now and they can be the more exclusive option of buying things but y this is for today’s video I hope you’ve learned something new that your Bitcoin is not inside this just your ability to spend it the authentication is secured and encrypted inside these thank you for listening bye-bye

“Those most efficient with their energy, will account the most sats”
The evolutionary journey of Bitcoin mining paints a vivid picture of the relentless drive towards efficiency. It all began with regular computer CPUs, which miners used in the nascent stages of Bitcoin’s development. However, as the network’s complexity and the mining competition surged, the CPU’s limitations became apparent. Soon, GPUs stepped into the limelight, offering greater computational prowess.

[Music] there is a golden rule in earning the most amount of Bitcoin possible and that Golden Rule is those of you who are most efficient with your energy resources will account the most amount of Bitcoin what do I mean by this well mining machines sit on the bridge between the electrical physical world of Bitcoin and the cyberspace information world of Bitcoin which is the compute power and that’s exactly what mining machines do they convert electricity into hash power and that conversion is different in different machines so at the beginning of bitcoin’s history 15 years ago you just needed a laptop where you could do a few a few thousand calculations per second but the latest machines they do 100 trillion calculations per second a very huge jump and what’s caused that is constant research and development into chip technology to make the machines faster and faster because you want to be converting your electrical cost into hash power which produces you Bitcoin as revenue and so the second part of that is the calling systems different miners have use different systems to remove that heat because if the machine gets too hot it starts producing less hash power which means less revenue and so you don’t want your cost to be really high and you want your Revenue to be really low have you ever been on the computer wondering to yourself why is it so slow why is it making so much noise and you’ve got 20 tabs open in your browser and five applications running that’s probably the answer and so mining machines are absolutely no different if they get too hot they underperform and so you need an effective cooling system to make sure that air is blowing through the system to remove the Heat and so new technologies have been developed such as immersion and hydro which both act as a system of ing the machine in a liquid and removing the heat through the liquid and cycling back cool liquid into the [Music] system

Instead of a concentrated rush to a specific location, the allure of Bitcoin beckons from every corner of the world. This mining doesn’t feed on energy but monetizes the excess within our physical realm, storing its value digitally. Through this, Bitcoin forges relationships across diverse sectors like carbon accounting for a greener future, electricity stability and management ensuring a balanced grid, and the creation of heat for countless applications ranging from agriculture to residential warming.

[Music] everyone wants a good life everyone wants a meaningful life that brings them prosperity and abundance and opportunity and so this SE s about a saying that I’ve thought about which is humans vote with their feet seeking energy abundance and that is shown throughout all of history people looked for the best soil to grow the best crops hunt in the best forests fish in the best rivers and so small villages towns and even cities have been developed as such think about California in the 1800s people rushed to extract this natural gold wealth out of the ground and in that process people moved in to create other businesses and little small circular economies to which economic powerhouses such as California have developed up to today and that has moved into the financial world of things with the concept of money that cities such as New York have such an attraction for people wanting to find financial prosperity by moving there and so we have this Society that’s built around this concentration of wealth in these specific pockets of the world but that’s going to change Bitcoin as a network is decentrally looking all over the world people that mine Bitcoin are actively looking for where energy abundance could be found and so those small circular economies of trading in heat in electricity and even carbon Credit Systems will mean that Bitcoin miners create local energy opportunities jobs businesses that are built around this production of Bitcoin as a process and so what we could see as the world going forward is potentially new cities and New Towns being built in in a decentralized way across the world so we don’t have these huge Central cities but more of a decentralized layer where we all agree to the Bitcoin Network consensus it’s a really interesting concept that I believe that people should look at a lot [Music] more [Music]

“Buy the corn or grow the corn”
The strength or capability of each miner is denoted by its hashpower, often expressed in terms of $/TH (Dollars per Terahash). This price point isn’t arbitrary. A miner’s efficiency – its ability to turn electricity into Bitcoin – directly impacts its market value. An optimally efficient machine can take 1 kWh of electricity and generate a more significant Bitcoin amount compared to its less efficient counterparts.

[Music] welcome to module three of the big picture Basics this is where we discuss the physical side of Bitcoin mining in module 4 we’ll talk about the digital side but let’s start with the physical so to recap we in module one discussed the generation of electricity module 2 was the transfer of that electricity through our physical networks the grid and so Bitcoin mining Hardware what is it what does it do why do people buy it well the short answer is why would you pay the market price for Bitcoin if you could produce your own with electricity at a lower price and so that’s essentially what a Bitcoin miner does he builds a farm to grow his own [Music] Bitcoin

“One man’s trash is another man’s electronic cash.”
We’ve traced the journey of the electron: from its birth in power generation facilities, through the intricate pathways of electricity distribution networks, to its vital task in driving microchips to perform trillions of calculations every second. At the end of this cycle, the energy that once coursed as an electron manifests as heat. For many miners, this heat used to be simply vented out as a by-product, but a paradigm shift is now recognizing its valuable economic potential.

[Music] one man’s trash is another man’s electronic cash what do we mean by this well in the world over 50% of our global energy needs are for heat just for heat whether it’s heating your home for your boiler for your hot water or heating your pool or in the agricultural sector they use heat in the green houses to make sure that the crops grow proficiently and countless other applications all around the world and so we’ve got this huge Bitcoin Network physical infrastructure with computers that produce heat as a waste so you fuse these two industries Al together you could have a an electric heater at home that pays you every time you turn it on wouldn’t that be something interesting and so mining machines sit as this physical asset that could be placed in all different locations to make sure that people are cost sharing electricity because energy bills are getting pretty insane at the moment and so we need have to have efficient cost sharing Technologies to make sure that we develop little energy economies that have Sy iotic relationships and that’s the future of Bitcoin in the physical [Music] world

[Music] the best defense is a good offense what do I mean by this well you’ve just learned so far that cryptography is used as a Def defensive mechanism so that we can all transact freely without any interference so I can broadcast that I want to send some Bitcoin but that transaction it goes into a pool of transactions saying hey these are verified transactions that want to be put in a block now here’s the interesting thing the block is encrypted it’s not decrypted it’s encrypted and so it’s a jumble of text and a number of zeros and that number of zeros is what Bitcoin miners are trying to find with all their electricity turning into hash power that hash power is actively looking to break the encryption of that block and when the miner finds that block they earn the reward they earn the transaction fees that they put in that block and they earn the subsidy of that transaction so Bitcoin is an amazing Network that uses cryptography both to defend wallets logically and people use energy to attack the network as its defense it’s a weird conundrum of paradoxical concept but what it means is that Bitcoin has a logical protection layer and a physical energy protection layer around it as well so we can freely transact and what this turns out to be is the best physical analogy would be would you rob a bank that had half a million in the vault but it cost you a million to break break into the Vault that’s how secure bitcoin’s network is that it would cost you more to break in than what you could actually extract out so it makes it pointless the best attack on bitcoin is to just find the next block in the chain you earn the reward and so it’s a reward mechanism for people that want to participate in protecting the network instead of attacking [Music] it [Music]

Video Transcript:

[Music] to understand a bit about the economics of hash power is that well every Miner is trying to produce as much hash power as they can with their computers and the cost of their electricity because if you’re producing 1% of the global Network hash power you’re going to approximately earn 1% of the global Network transaction fees and so the economics and the economic value behind hash power is that your individual contribution versus the network is also the amount of Bitcoin you’re going to earn and that economic stream of value of Bitcoin is what gives hash power its value so if bitcoin’s price is really high and there’s lots of transactions happening on the network hash power earns you more Bitcoin and so the machines are higher priced if there’s less transactions on the network and or there’s a really low price in Bitcoin hash power earns less and so what you find is that hash power as an asset Rises and Falls similar to bitcoin’s price there’s a few other aspects that we will discuss in further modules as to how these changes happen but that’s the understanding of the economics behind hash power is that it’s produced and purchased from the physical world of computers but it has an economic value to the digital world and an economic security to protecting the digital Ledger of of [Music] assets [Music]

[Music] welcome to module 5 blockchain and data and so what is the blockchain it’s a keyword that’s thrown around all the time with all different things and technological innovations but blockchain can be boiled down so it’s just record keeping technology it’s a way of storing information in a way that countless people the nodes have a record a copy of the same transactions and that’s what the original use case of the blockchain was it was a recordkeeping of all of our transactions made in Bitcoin but over time different types of files have been put on chain such as images and contracts and code and all other different pieces of information that people want to store online forever and that’s what the amazing thing about bitcoin’s blockchain is is because there is countless thousands of people out there storing this information it perpetually stays online forever and so we now have a database distributed around the world that record keeps all of the information on chain forever a database that is untampered because the only people that can put the data into the database are the miners so you need physical electricity to update the information as the old saying goes knowledge is power and so we now have a public way of all coming together to collectively store information historically forever and the next question comes well how do we store that information that’ll be the next [Music] section

[Music] one of the things that disrupts our money the most is technology we used things such as salt because they were valuable to everybody would if someone developed a technology that allowed you to Produce Salt in a much more effective way and that’s where we used things such as gold and metal money because they were scarce and so technology couldn’t disrupt the production process of finding as much gold as possible but that also brings us into the next form of money as as much as gold is a really good money and has been for thousands of years the one thing it can’t do is move around really quickly and so what we did as humans was put gold in a vault trust somebody to look after it and we were issued a voucher or a token something of a piece of paper to reference that gold that the value of that paper was not the value itself but that we could go and collect gold with that piece of paper and that’s where the next issue of money comes which is trust that how do you know that your piece of paper can redeem something and that’s where our paper money evolved from is we are all using pieces of paper that should redeem something of value underneath but in the ‘ 70s that changed gold was removed from the money system and now we’re just trading coupons cinema tickets without Cinema even existing and that’s where the next issue becomes with in a central system such as a bank they have one copy off this big transaction list of who owns what in Bitcoin system it’s a centralized Network where everyone has a copy of the same transactions and we can work things backwards what is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin its electricity can you think of anything more important to the 21st century to every human on this planet than electricity and the production of Bitcoin is it scarce yes it’s in fixed Supply and so Bitcoin has taken all of the history of money picked the best parts and is designed around to serve and the more we design technology to produce Bitcoin in a better way is more innovation of our energy and the more we innovate with energy the more prosperous we are with Society but Bitcoin as money itself still pertains to be part of our financial system how does loans work how does lending work how does all sorts of asset purchasing such as property work that’s what we’ll discuss [Music] next

[Music] well we are now halfway through the big picture basics in which module 1 to 3 took us through the concepts of the physical side of bitcoin’s network and we went through it in order of producing energy transferring on our grids consuming it in mining machines and those machines produce hash power which delves into the digital side of things hash power is what updates the blockchain module 5 and on the blockchain is where we store all of our transactions and financial information and all the contracts and agreements that we make with each other and module 6 being Bitcoin as money and all of the topics that that contains now now one of the most important things to understand about the digital side of Bitcoin is that it’s very paradoxical and what I mean by that is what you think might be the answer is actually completely opposite to the truth and that’s the way it just works but it’s really interesting so I hope you [Music] enjoy

[Music] is Bitcoin digital gold no is Bitcoin digital cash no Bitcoin is electronic cash because it has electron value its purchasing power is literal because you can purchase power with Bitcoin what do I mean by this well everyone has an extreme focus on the Bitcoin to dollar price or Bitcoin to any fiat currency for the matter and so what that does is people are comparing a currency Fiat that has no intrinsic value to a Curr currency with intrinsic value and so that is a complete mispricing of the truth the truth is found in the production with energy that a Bitcoin miner converts a quantity of electricity into a quantity of Bitcoin and that is a direct comparison what that does is it sets a global decentralized energy price how on Earth does it do that well as we’ve discussed the the Bitcoin miners they will stop mining Bitcoin to sell the energy if they can earn more Bitcoin than what they could produce and that is the Arbitrage you cannot do that with gold nobody’s coming along to buy a load of rock that has some ounce of gold value in it the Bitcoin is reversible because if you wanted to pay the miner for their electricity what price would they want well if they could produce a Bitcoin that day how much would they sell their electricity for one Bitcoin and that’s exactly what that rate is that it’s not just the rate of producing Bitcoin but like cash and gold stored in a vault that Bitcoin is redeemable for the electricity used in the production of Bitcoin and so it creates a circular economy of producing and consuming and spending the currency Bitcoin is electronic cash because it’s redeemable for electricity itself and this opens up an entirely new world of energy economies that you’ll learn [Music] next

“The Essence of Money: A Journey Through Time”
The story of money is as ancient as civilization itself. Initially, the barter system was the norm, directly exchanging goods for other goods. However, the system had a critical flaw: it depended on the “coincidence of wants.” What if you had apples and wanted to purchase bread, but the person with the bread you wanted didn’t want apples? Enter money—an intermediary of exchange so that the transaction of goods needed to only go one way. Money needs to be something of universal acceptance to all of us.

[Music] [Music] welcome to module 6 finance and Bitcoin and so this module really focuses on bitcoin as money itself and the larg topic of finance and our financial world that is going to be the most interactive part for most people within this entire ecosystem that you’ve learned about but the first question really becomes what is money where did it come from and why did we invented well that was to solve what we call The Coincidence of once that before money we just bed which is if you have something that I want and I have something that you want that is a straightforward transaction that can occur value for Value but what if only one of us had what the other needed well then you needed something to go the opposite direction of the good or the services to make sure that that transaction was fair that Energy’s neither created or destroyed only transferred and so that value forv value transaction was what money filled as the Gap and money needed to be something intrinsic for example in the Roman times everybody accepted salt as a means of payment because we all needed Salt to preserve food and food is quite important to every human so money as a good property would need to be very intrinsic in [Music] value

“History is written by the victors, every 10 minutes”
The Bitcoin network, in it’s essence, functions like a decentralized clock, ensuring the steady release of a new block approximately every 10 minutes. Think of this consistency in the way our electricity grid aims to maintain the frequency of its alternating current at either 50 or 60Hz. For electrical devices, this frequency balancing guarantees optimal function. For Bitcoin, the programmatic regulation of blocks every ten-minutes ensures fairness, security, and a predictable rate of currency issuance over time.

Video Transcript:

[Music] history is written by The Victors every 10 minutes but how does the blockchain with a constantly changing amount of computers try and to find a fixed answer to each individual block how does that maintain to 10 minutes because if twice as much hash power comes online the blocks won’t be found in 10 minutes they’d be found in 5 minutes there’s more people trying to find the same answer so it would be quicker alternatively if lots of computers dropped offline there’s less people trying to find the same answer per block and so the network and the blockchain constantly dynamically changes the difficulty of how hard it is to find a block to make sure that it adheres to a Time series of 10 minutes and the clearest way to understand this is bringing the laws of physics in the more you move through space time changes and so Bitcoin does that it constantly adjusts its space Vector per block capacity the amount of attempts the amount of attempts required to find each block and we call this the difficulty adjustment and so Bitcoin regulates its time by adjusting its difficulty in space and the the clearest example of this would be if a block takes 100 attempts to find the block there’s 100 attempts at finding the answer if you had a computer that can do 10 attempts per minute then it would take you 10 minutes to find the block but what if you plugged in another computer and you were doing 20 attempts per minute you wouldn’t find the blocks in 10 minutes you’d find them in five and so the network would change it from 100 attempts required to find the answer to 200 attempts it would double the difficulty adjustment if the hash power doubles and so the network is balancing supply and demand to make sure that the blocks are every 10 minutes and the importance of this is is because the issuance of fresh Bitcoin is in every block so we want a constant rate of time to make sure that the issuance of Bitcoin is at a constant rate over time there’s more detail going through the text of this [Music] section

Video Transcript:

[Music] one of the most interesting metrics about bitcoin’s network of mining machines on every grid and Off the Grid around the planet is that the whole Network approximately uses .1% of global electricity now with what I just explained to you about SATs per kilowatt and miners ability to be able to sell their electricity at the same rate that they would produce Bitcoin means that electricity itself has a default price in Bitcoin that anywhere on this planet at any time electricity can be converted into currency units spendable on light that means that 0.1% of global energy is dynamically for sale right now and that should be growing and growing so that more energy is always for [Music] sale

[Music] [Music] the Integrity of our money is the Integrity of society if the money can be corrupted then Society will be corrupted and what we mean by this is that humans have all interactions with each other we have a financial system and when you buy something money goes in the opposite direction so money has a part to play in every human interaction of trade and commerce and that’s how economic value moves around and so if you have a currency that’s easily inflatable printed out of thin air well then the people that save and spend in that currency they lose their purchasing power over time because the new currency units steal their energy because energy is neither created nor destroyed only transferred and so that’s what causes our society of inflation and that’s why our currency system now needs to change to something that’s deflationary something with a fixed Supply and that creates a new behavior of saving and spending in a way that you don’t want to escape inflation by buying up things that people may need such as property if you buy five properties you live in one the other four are an investment a way of escaping this Fiat inflation but if Bitcoin came around and it’s a better appreciating asset than those four houses why would you want the four houses if the Bitcoin appreciates in a better way what that does is open up those four properties for other people to fulfill their needs over their wants and that organizes Society in a better way a healthier money creates a healthier Society think about our financial system of loaning and lending that’s not going to change people want access to financial services if you have Bitcoin as collateral as a loaning system the collateral is going to appreciate in value for whatever you’re purchasing because Bitcoin has absolute scarcity the monetary units are in fixed Supply and as we’ve learned through all the first few modules the poll of energ underneath Bitcoin is appreciating and so bitcoin’s value per unit is appreciating and so that creates a new world where people serve their needs over their wants and that will create a healthier Society where people can access the things because the monetary premiums have collapsed things get cheaper to produce over time so why do their prices go up Fiat [Music] fation [Music]

[Music] how best do we connect our use of money which everyone uses with our use of electricity which everyone uses so the jeel properties of Bitcoin is that it’s money and convertiable into electricity and that’s amazing because there’s countless different Industries where everything we do and produce and create in society has a cost to produce and some form with market value of competitiveness and let’s take the car for example it’s produced from aluminum typically that is using a lot of electricity electrolysis to actually produce the aluminium so raw materials are now priced in Bitcoin then it’s manufactured into a car using robotics that use a lot of electricity the production of that car is now priced in Bitcoin but also when that car goes onto the road and the charging stations they sell power as their business priced in Bitcoin and so every aspect of modern society and that just takes one example from the raw material in the ground to the end product that we use in every society and the pricing that we will see at the car charging station will all be Bitcoin and what that does is open up countless different energy and finance opportunities where the two are merged together because wealth is energy and so what does a society look like when you can convert your time and energy into a currency that is redeemable for energy itself well that’s a society I want to live in thank thank you for listening and I hope you’ve enjoyed this course it’s been a wonderful experience to create and I’ve got many more courses on the way thank [Music] you

[Music] so far you have learned about all the different sectors of bitcoin’s ecosystem and how they connect together but also they innovate in their own directions different heating systems with the computers stability of grids the monetization of stranded energy hash power has developing new markets because it produces Bitcoin and the blockchain is no different what is the value of storing information online forever protected by the electricity of an entire country that is the interesting base layer of Bitcoin that you can store information online forever protected by energy it’s the most secure database ever built and the importance of that is what you can build on top of it and so people have developed social media new payment channels and all other different sorts of protocols to be able to transact because we all have different information needs if I was settling the transaction of a house I want security I want to see that transaction onchain as the verification of payment if I wanted to buy a coffee I want speed so maybe I could use a layer two to transact much quicker than the 10-minute blocks that you have to wait for what if you’re an institution with thousands or even millions of customers you want scale and so you want to be able to settle lots of transactions all in one file and so that’s what blockchain’s layer 2 and its Innovation direction is is the ability to innovate in the storage of data online [Music] forever
