Bitcoin: distraction or truth bomb? I dare you—send this to the friend who sent YOU this video (or that non-BTC skeptic in your life)! In this raw chat, I wrestle with it: Are Bitcoiners just lost in hype, or are they the ones asking the REAL questions in a world drowning in distraction, change, and broken expectations? It’s less about coins, more about clarity—Bitcoiners see through the noise. Watch, reflect, share—let’s spark some truth together!

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy my name is Jake Scandlin and I have a question for you is Bitcoin a distraction now this is something that could be directed at someone that you know that if if you’ve received this video and you’re not interested in Bitcoin well hello and welcome and if you’re a Bitcoiner and you really are having that question of well is it right to be focusing on Bitcoin so much should I be focusing on something else because that’s essentially the definition of distraction distraction is uh when your attention is diverted away from something else now what could that else other be and the struggle there is well Bitcoin isn’t just some internet money it’s a system of vertically or circular integrating our energy sector you know how everything is produced in society um computers and microchips how everyone lives in society the internet and fast laptops computers tablets tablets and phones you name it and then a secure storage system for all of our transaction information when you send or receive money that’s a piece of information it’s just a database of numbers ones and zeros moving around between different accounts whether it’s a bank whether it’s a Bitcoin wallet it’s all the same but the key differences that well there’s problems in society and the daytoday that people are concerned about are completely valid you’re trying to make ends meet you’re trying to earn money you’re trying to pay your bills your mortgage and everything else of the debt money system and I’m sure you’ve heard these sorts of things as well if you’ve got a Bitcoin partner friend family member but the key thing is this that Bitcoin is looking underneath all of the problems to build a different sort of foundation and if your ears are already closed up then I’m sorry but there’s there’s this key approach to Bitcoin is where we are truth seeking we are asking the questions that need to be asked house prices are they the problem does everyone need a house everyone wants a house so is it the house that’s the problem or is it the price of the house that’s the problem okay so it’s something to do with money food prices we all need food um the price keeps going up so is it the food that’s the problem or the other side of that trade the money and when you start going well hang on why are food prices so high why are house prices so high ah it’s because if you store your time and energy in the money it buys you less over time so the quantity in your bank account can stay the same but the amount that that money buys you when you finally exchange it out into actual real world goods services and resources it buys you less so somewhere between the time and energy that you went to work got up early and broke your back to earn this quantity of database units on in an account that by the time you converted that back into real world things that adhere to time and energy and a cost to produce that some of it disappeared that’s the bit that Bitcoiners are like we need a system where you go to work convert your time and energy into a quantity of money it preserves its underlying time and energy to produce and this is where Bitcoiners step in we’re asking those questions of why is our financial system not fit for purpose why can’t I live like the way my parents or grandparents lived where one salary paid for an entire family of four to live go on maybe one holiday a year save up for different things and enjoy life why is why does the money in between money is 50% of every transaction why is that that that that piece is the problem that’s just at the Bitcoin level but you’ve also got these other levels to Bitcoin which isn’t opinion it isn’t thoughtful fingers crossed dreams of the future of what the future price of Bitcoin is in dollars or whatever else it’s it’s a currency system produced from electricity run through computers to produce blocks of data with a cost to produce so it’s a form of money based on energy and these are the sorts of pieces which create a digital equivalent of money that have a physical connection to the real world so if you’re a farmer is it fair that the government can print money for free for free press a button boop numbers in the account and purchase something that has a cost to produce that adheres to the laws of physics a farmer has to spend half the year 3/4 of the year tending to his crops adhering to time and energy to grow his produce and sell it on the market the government comes along presses a button and can purchase those goods and services that is theft through and through and the difference between these two worlds is Bitcoin introduces a form of money with a cost to produce so it’s digital we live in the digital world it’s scarce it’s fixed in supply all of these different words you may have heard and then that key thing it has a direct alignment to how everything else in society works everything else has a cost to produce you only survive because you put food energy into your body to survive the car only moves because you put energy into it the plane ticket is based on the price of energy everything the the universal currency of this entire universe is energy nothing moves lives breathes walks talks sound energy and are those a distraction i’ve uh got a bit detracted I would say but yeah are those a distraction well uh think of it like this if a person is on the path of learning ecology energy economics hardware software computing the blockchain there’s so many different topics humanities finance economics game theory if someone is actively seeking a broad picture of different knowledge in different areas different subjects and a currency system that integrates it all together if that’s not a person you want to be around I don’t know um but it’s it’s it comes back to that initial thing of the problems that that once you pierce the veil and ask those questions if you’re not comfortable with the truth then the the the world that we’re going into is not going to reward you financially and this is because we’re going toward we we’re in a world of abstract lies the amount of people that that promote this perfect image on Instagram versus the factual reality of their life being quite different the fakeness in society the the disgruntled unhappy despair in the young people that would rather just plug themselves into a video game on the internet than actually face the world that’s what we’re addressed with this mismatch between expectation and reality in life and the only path the only way the pendulum swings is towards truth a form of money with a cost to produce that has direct alignment with everything else in society and if that’s not something to aspire to yes it could be a bit obsessive to those that the first 1% people that truly understand it but the true path of Bitcoin is to come to a point where it’s omniresent it’s everywhere which it already is wherever the internet is there’s Bitcoin wherever there where wherever there’s cheap abundant energy there’s Bitcoin mining and uh that abundance between the digital world and local energy world the input to everything is energy and the output to everything is money and we just live in the boundary layer between these two worlds and all of these sorts of pieces are very important to learn because that’s the world we are going into um I see it from a maths and physics perspective with the finance piece on top i’ve drawn an iceberg because the majority of the world understand Bitcoin as just this financial component and a few keywords related to the blockchain the the 1% of the world that have purchased Bitcoin then you got the 1% of that 1% that actually delve into understanding the layers and these are all the different wise the the why why do we need a money where they cost to produce in energy well it changes us away from a system of trust as in right now credit I think credit literally in Latin means like to to trust trust payment in the future or something like that and uh do you trust the government to pay you something back i don’t um well the money’s not backed by anything and if you can’t address those sorts of questions uh open-minded um yeah we’re shifting into a world that’s focused on truth truth seekers that’s Bitcoiners they are truth seekers uh truth of the money true to themselves true to their health true to their prosperity of their loved ones family friends going into the future uh I don’t think I’ve fully answered that is Bitcoin a distraction but the short answer is no it’s the the first piercing of the veil into the world that we’re going into we live in the information age where everything depends on electricity and the internet and Bitcoin is simply the boundary layer of communication between these two worlds thank you for listening i hope you enjoy and uh if you are new to this sort of content well all the other stuff on the channel is going more into the interesting maths and physics but taught in a uh interestingformational way which is not too technical and complicated but has to introduce all those subjects piece by piece thank you for listening hope you enjoy and I’ll see you in the next one goodbye

Bitcoin’s about to flip money as we know it!
In this deep dive, I unpack L1—settlement locking energy money into 10-minute blocks, capped by scarce space (no one’s waiting 10 minutes for coffee!).

L2—like Lightning and Liquid—cranks up transaction speed,
While L3 (think NOSTR) adds social flair.

From watts to wealth, these layers redefine cash—fast, free, and expressive. Watch now to see how Bitcoin’s L1-L3 stack is rewriting the financial rulebook!

Video Transcript:

one of the age-old debates that is going to happen today and tomorrow in the context of Bitcoin is why is Bitcoin developing into multiple layers and the first key reason for this is what is Bitcoin bitcoin data money and so the context of everything we’re going to talk about today is the the the fundamentals underneath the Bitcoin blockchain but also why new layers are going to be built on top but first let me introduce myself hello there my name is Jake Scandlin i’m the lead educator here at the Hash Power Academy this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and also its underlying network of technologies and commodities now as mentioned the topic of today’s video is going to be looking at the Bitcoin layers and why they’re going to essentially be built into fruition and this is because there is a data constraint that Bitcoin data money has a cost to produce so it’s a database at this layer one level a series of blocks where transaction information that information your bitcoin in wallets and when you want to move it you have to update that information and we don’t want all the information to be centrally controlled in one location like a central bank because money is just a technology of communicating resources in society we don’t want all of that information centrally controlled in one place we want to have we all have to have a copy of the same transaction file distributed among all of the nodes of the world but who gets to hold the pen of that accounting system it’s the Bitcoin miners all seeking to produce energy all around the world or buy it and consume it to convert and produce compute power which adds Bitcoin blocks to the chain that is that most fundamental layer one and so the question becomes well why do we need a layer two and why do you think there’ll be other sorts of layers such as social layers and layer 3es well it all comes down to this the deeper you go in the layers in relation to you as a person communicating to the Bitcoin blockchain whether it’s paying fees to store in this transaction layer 1 that is settlement layer one is really focused on settlement layer two is more about transaction velocity and what I mean by this is what’s the difference between a fast and everinccreasing volume of transactions such as on the liquid and lightning networks um well the difference between that and the layer one is the layer one is constrained by time blocks are every 10 minutes because the network is constantly trying to understand how much Bitcoin mining compute is online at any minute or every uh two weeks shall we say and if more hash rate comes online blocks accelerate so the difficulty adjustment increases to make the cost to add the next block in the chain more difficult and so there is all of these physics constraints to the layer 1 blockchain and the layer 2 wants to essentially accelerate that that is to say that um a lightning a lightning uh network shall we say is uh like a lightning bolt bouncing between different nodes that all of these different nodes of the lightning network are all connected because they’ve they’ve used the layer 1 blockchain to contractually connect a quantity of Bitcoin between these different nodes and if there is a certain balance of Bitcoin between all of these nodes and you want to send some Bitcoin to this person you can just shift the ownership transfer through the system u between you and that person you’re sending Bitcoin to this doesn’t have the limitation of the 10-minute settlement requirement on the layer one so it’s not adhering to Bitcoin’s uh time constrained physics but it’s constrained in data space because the layer 1 blockchain is where that settlement finality is found so when you’re adding Bitcoin in Lightning addresses and accounts you have to communicate with the layer 1 blockchain if you want to settle the amount of Bitcoin in your layer 2 balance so to speak back down to that layer one you have to communicate with the Bitcoin layer one blockchain but that whole aspect is speed so we’re going to just write these in settlement settlement speed of transaction remember Bitcoin data money all of this is a communication of data for example uh we produce energy transfer it over time produce compute transfer it over time produce data money transfer it over time all of this is a communication of data layer one is constrained by energy space and time 10-minute blocks with a cost to produce to update that information that gives Bitcoin its electron value the layer two is breaching that and and lifting constraining that uh that quantity of bitcoin into a layer two so that uh speed uh is reduced from 10 minutes to almost instant this is what we want and the best finance analogy for this is a clearing house is when large institutions essentially settle their transaction information similar to how the Bitcoin blockchain is settling every 10 minutes these institutions can be can be quite quick during the day but it could take multiple days where two banks have got lots of transactions and trade between each other and they do that settlement finality with a clearing house clearing the the transaction volume that they’ve built up between each other and that that sort of place is not where they’re going to itemize the list of a coffee purchase are they they’re not going to uh settle a coffee purchase so where does a coffee purchase reside in these layers it’s going to be the layer two that makes sense because it’s a transaction that’s important enough to be paid but it’s not a large enough amount of money relative to an expensive good for example if you were purchasing a house that is some form of trade and transfer of the ownership of an asset and that settlement of payment to to pay for it that makes sense on the layer 1 blockchain you need some form of ownership transfer that has settlement finality and this also scales to country level that if Bitcoin is a currency based on energy and energy seems like one of those resources that nations invade other nations uh to control their energy resources and that’s to sustain the power of the fiat money system and price it beyond the gold beyond the gold standard um or even the pricing of say dollars to gold once once they removed the dollar from gold uh they needed some other commodities of very important very high importance to uh the world such as energy so we have essentially a decade’s worth of uh oil oil attachment to the money and that’s because if you stimulate and force other nations to exchange their money into dollars to then buy the ver resource that they want oil it gives this arbit it gives this uh artificial value to uh the fiat currency by pricing it in the thing that everyone wants now if electricity is something that everyone wants and Bitcoin has mathematically connected to electricity what do you think the value of Bitcoin is going to be in the future when you’ve got this fixed supply currency with energy and compute expanding underneath it it reprices that fixed supply money against all of the energy in the system and as you arbitrage trade out of the system it makes different participants in the network more profitable so layer three the social layer uh this isn’t quite uh clear at the moment because the layer twos are just about sort of defining um well everyone’s sort of discovering all these different layer 2s but the interesting thing about the layer 2 they need layer 1 block space it is this is most fundamental whether you’re a platform exchange bank hedge fund sovereign wealth institution you name it everyone needs layer one block space which is produced by pools and miners and that layer three is the utmost highest volume of data pictures music other expressions of human creativity not so much needing to be stored in Bitcoin layer 1 block space not so much maybe stored in layer 2 transaction volume where we’re focused on speed but it’s just that aspect of social i apologize for my handwriting and that social layer is going to be uh needing you know the speed of transactions no one’s going to want to post things and uh wait for it to confirm they want to post something in in the social side of things and so these are the sorts of things such as Nosta nosta is quite interesting a sort of decentralized social media where you can store the data that you want to store essentially on your own uh what your posts and whatnot and it’s using things like uh lightning as as a way of people being able to pay each other if you follow someone you like what they say and talk about um that you can send them a few saps a few sats basically or zaps I think they call them um all these sorts of things of that integration of high volume of data versus scarce amount of data for settlement so it’s the the cost to settle the data uh is more expensive the deeper you go and for the reasons that you’ve got all this transactional noise the the higher you go in the layers but interestingly this is exactly the same concept all this sort of transactional noise that I’m referring to is that yeah everything the Bitcoin blockchain expresses like a funnel of data at Ah and everything on the underside of the Bitcoin blockchain is an expression of energy really uh electrical energy digital energy if you want to call hash rate that and so you’ve got this expression of raw fundamental energy that’s most intrinsic to humanity and the communication of energy and data which um wealth is essentially energy so when you go into money and money is basically Money is basically energy so uh yeah that’s an interesting direction of things so I think I’ve overexlained this basically the overall gist of my scribbles here are the Bitcoin blockchain is energy space and time physics and maths in the digital world which is a complete phenomena in of itself and that trifecta that framework of X Y and Zed builds uh builds opportunity to act as uh as Michael Sailor likes to refer to it’s like a digital Manhattan and that bedrock in the digital world allows transactional data expression to expand and building in layers on top as to the decentralization of the different liquid and lightning and all these others i’m quite interested in uh Babylon chain or spider chain or something at the moment and all these other sorts of things um as to how decentralized they are that’s they’re going to have to push to incentivize people to create and generate uh ver cop create a copy of their transaction information and the more people have the same copy of the same files and there’s no single point of failure that’s the centralization on the digital side and then decentralization underneath that’s very much established we do have centralization issues with pools even with miners uh energy sector not so much because that it’s it’s get it gets more decentralized the further you go from the blockchain on either side i think that’s it yeah layer one settlement layer two speed layer three social hope you enjoyed this video um sorry for the scribbles but uh there we are hope you enjoyed comment section is for you send this to the group chat send it to anyone and everyone you think would be of interest to this sort of stuff uh I’m going to do more on these sorts of videos but yeah this is this is it for now goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the Hashpower Academy My name is Jake Scannon I’m the lead educator here at the academy and this is a place for you to learn anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its underlying network of technologies and commodities Now the topic of today’s video is more focusing on Bitcoin’s uh energy exchange rate between electricity kilowatt hours and BTC And these two have a very fundamental relationship in the Bitcoin network At any moment of time when the Bitcoin price was nothing and Satoshi Nakamoto what did he do he consumed electricity through his CPU on his laptop or computer We don’t know exactly what he had Um he consumed electricity and exchanged it into the first uh million Bitcoin or so There wasn’t an a dollar exchange rate So Bitcoin to kilowatt is actually the original exchange rate for Bitcoin And I call it exchange rate because it’s not a one-way process It’s not just consume energy to produce Bitcoin but actually it’s being introduced as a uh demand response uh relationship on the grid Miners are switching off when the power kilowatt hours priced in dollars for now um is more valuable to the local grid than what the global network is willing to pay you for the consumption of the power So miners have a direct choice to consume energy export it to the internet globally or sell it locally but we’ll delve into that into other videos So to to calculate the amount of Bitcoin you can earn per kilowatt has two fundamental things Your efficiency of machine your jewels or watts per terash The lower the the watts per terahash figure the more efficient the machine and the higher the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt The less efficient the machine the more energy it consumes say 30 watts per terahash uh the lower the amount of Bitcoin you can earn per kilowatt because the machine is consuming more energy to produce the same amount of compute which earns a certain amount of Bitcoin These are all mathematically connected pieces So I’m just going to write out the formula because it’ll be much easier to understand So a kilowatt thousand watts If we’re going to move through the layers we need to understand a 1000 watts divided by efficiency So if this computer is consuming 21.75 watts to produce a h a terraash we’re going to divide a,000 by 21.75 So that is allowing us to understand that we’re making about 46 terraash per kilowatt um and 46 terraash produces and earns a certain amount of Bitcoin And this is where hash price comes in Now hash price is essentially how much Bitcoin you can earn per terahash of compute per day So we have a time variable a compute variable and a quantity of Bitcoin earned And we need to divide all of this down So let’s do let’s just draw it up here 455 Well just divide them 455 divided by 843 million terraash multiplied by the price So we’ve got this this direct conversion gets you the quantity of bitcoin If you do 455 divided by 843 you get the amount of bitcoin per xahash But one xahash is 1 million terraash So if we did 455 divided by 843 million and write that out you get the amount of the quantity of Bitcoin per terash per day because this is 144 blocks And if we multiply by price I believe we get a figure of 0.045 So we’re getting our 45 or 46 terraash by dividing a 1000 watts by 21.75 So that’s about 46 terraash Now if we multiply by the 0.045 so we’re earning 4.5 cent of Bitcoin per terahash per day Now if you just did this calculation you’re going to get about $2 worth of Bitcoin per day but we want it in uh per hour So 20 divided by 24 and this gets us to oh let’s draw it below it This gets us to a figure of 0.0 0.0 862 So there you are Now this is very long-winded but it’s requiring you to sort of break down the relationship between between all these pieces Again this dollar component to the kilowatt doesn’t have to be there In the future of Bitcoin it will just be kilowatt hours exchanged to a quantity of Bitcoin and you remove the dollar valuation of the Bitcoin and you remove the dollar valuation of the electricity The it’s a formality at that point But basically yeah you’re earning 8.62 cent of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour Now what if your electricity is 5 cent so for every 5 cent of electricity input cost you’re getting 8.6 cent of output revenue Now what we can do is multiply your input cost which is the production floor in this example and this is your revenue rate You multiply these two figures up to the point of one bitcoin And that gives you because this is a ratio For every 5 cent you’re earning 8.6 cent So if we divide them which gets gives us a ratio and then multiply it up to the Bitcoin price we get a production cost of about uh 80 No 48,000 Am I still on the screen here no 48,000 48,000 roughly So the network average production cost right now with 5 cent electricity with a 21.75 watts per terahash computer with the current network hash rate and network revenue is about $48,000 per bitcoin Now the other thing to know is that not every miner is using 5-cent energy The price on the grid is not always 5 cent So if the price on the grid is 678 cents the miner would be able to switch a machine off at different rates and the different efficiency of machine Right now if you’re using a 30 jewel per terahash machine it’s using more energy and we can we can change this figure for 30 So you do,000 divided by 30 which means you’re earning less hash rate per 5 cent of electrical cost kilowatt hour Same network revenue the same 24-hour day the production cost at uh fact let’s write these in 21.75 21.75 equals 48,000 if you’re a 30 jewel per terahash machine that’s about 66,000 per bitcoin and if you’re the latest efficient machine still using that 5 cent let’s say the 12 jewel per terahash it’s coming up at about 26,000 So there you go The latest generation machines of 12 JW per terahash which means you divide the,000 by 12 which is an even larger quantity of hash rate terraash per kilowatt multiply by the amount of Bitcoin per terahash that you’re earning per day divide it by 24 bring it down to an hour The production cost is $26,000 per Bitcoin But remember that a 30 watts per terahash machine is very very cheap less efficient higher production cost The average is still a good average 48,000 So you’re you’re earning a bitcoin under $50,000 but you have the cost of the machine to contend with And the latest generation machines of 12 jewels of energy cost to produce that output one terraash which earns a quantity of Bitcoin And the interesting thing of this it’s all mathematically connected We can remove the dollar entirely with this This is this is the interesting piece of the future And this calculating this gives you that information that if your electricity at home uh is 10 cent a kilowatt hour uh you wouldn’t want to mine with an average efficient machine because you’ll make a loss Right now with a 12 jewel perahash machine this will rise up to I want to say 15 cent There we go You can write in the comments section if you do a,000 / 12 ultiplied by 0.045 / 24 what is the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour and if it’s more than 15 there you go If it’s less than 15 um and that is about the standard US energy rate I believe about 15 cent a kilowatt And obviously if you want to be producing one well $1 of electricity earns you $2 a bitcoin You would want an electricity rate in this example of 4.3 cent per kilowatt which is very cheap I think I’ll leave it there This is something that I’m definitely going to do I’m going to do another video at some point um on an Excel spreadsheet or something and and attach the the link uh or a Google sheet shall I say and attach the link into the uh the the comment section and allow you to just play and understand with the numbers and and having a a column with all of these facts and figures and as you change them you see what changes in terms of production costs And the most interesting thing here between the production cost and the market price is you can create a percentage between them And that percentage is a very good metric to understanding the good time to buy or not As I said earlier in the video when you’re able to buy Bitcoin at these sorts of prices it’s an absolute steal Not so much stealing it’s you are able to buy Bitcoin at the same rate that miners are producing And what Bitcoin does over time is the older more inefficient machines with higher production costs they get kicked off the network The network pays people who are efficient As you introduce more efficient chips you earn Bitcoin at that lower right rate That is fair If someone is to acquire the money at a lower cost it’s because they were highly efficient and had lots of energy availability Because in the future the aspect of Bitcoin so kilowatt hour being an exchange rate is they can buy the energy to produce Bitcoin at this rate in dollars for now But also if the price of energy goes if the price of energy went to 9 cent why would you consume the power sell it to them at 9 cent instead of earning from the network at 8.6 cent So Bitcoin miners are going to be an exchange rate where the rate of revenue defined by the global network is um a benchmark a price in which external uh transactions can settle and bring that value into the network Because you’re if you’re selling energy at 9 cent to buy 8.6 cent a bitcoin there is a capital inflow into the network by providing a deliverable commodity of electricity to the real world Right thank you for listening I hope you enjoy I I want to know if uh you’ve done this calculation Do a 1000 watts divided by 12 multiplied by 0.045 divided by 24 and you get your Bitcoin per kilowatt hour with the latest efficient machine And if you divide 5 cent by that rate you’ll get approximately I believe $26,000 when you multiply it by the uh Bitcoin price And again I’m going to have some uh charts and metrics and a Google sheet at some point for you to learn even more Thank you for listening Hope you enjoy and I’ll see you in the next one Goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy I have a message for you corporate want your Bitcoin and they’ll try anything and everything creating products markets Services Comforts in which you will hand them your Bitcoin or buy it with them and uh as Fidelity have just recently launched a crypto retirement IRA and they promote it as no fees go and check the fine print they charge 1% fee on spreads you buy with them you sell with them that’s 2% one in one out that’s a fee so I don’t know why they’re being very uh fictitious with their advertising but lo and behold these are the sorts of things that these large institutions will do they will offer they’ll offer the world they’ll offer a wall garden and the warning I can say to you is choose your next prison wisely because the key thing here is that different people of different ages are going to want different things people of a younger age that want to self- custody their Bitcoin they’re more comfortable with that idea and the lessons required there are to just go through the processes of getting a hardware wallet or having a wallet generated that’s uh in words and storing those words or memorizing those words but these these do take down take you down a different risk path versus people of a middle to older age they may have kids thinking about how they’re going to pass down their their digital wealth to their kids whether their kids are interested in Bitcoin or not that’s again education and then people of an older age that hold the majority of wealth in the world they are looking more to something that they’re familiar with having a retirement account allowing a institution to handle all their money for them and the the Comforts and conveniences of Taxation and all those other pieces of the the old world and the old world is is the key piece here that again the majority of the wealth of the world is in with people of an older age and I’ll give you a comical analogy for this when you’re when you’re mining Bitcoin when you first you use a mining machine as the analogy of a young person they’re young they’re efficient they’ve got lots of time and energy but they haven’t made any Bitcoin yet they haven’t made any money and as they get older they’re making the most amount that they can as they hit middle Ag and then you’ve got this big stack of Bitcoin and as you’re coming to the end of your your time you got you know you’re young middle-aged you’re old when you’re at this point you’re an old uh less efficient machine you’ve not got long left and you’ve got this stack of wealth and you want to do something with it these are the sorts of uh interesting analogies I can offer and and these are the sorts of things that um again if the majority of the wealth of the world is owned by people of an older age and uh that Capital flow of trillions essentially in in less productive older type of asset classes through the sort of pinhole of the 21 million supply unit firstly we’re going to see these massive changes in the price as Everyone likes to talk about in the financial world of these huge price valuations of Bitcoin you’ve also got that underlying network of energy and compute expanding underneath this that this engineered money on the top is continually easting into the value of value I say the the quantity of uh it’s dollar to Bitcoin exchange rate and the benefits of holding such assets are immeasurable and that’s what financial institutions want they’re going to play this planetary game of Hungry Hippo to accumulate all the Bitcoin they can not just through their own purchases and Acquisitions of companies in all these different layers but also um offering different products Market services to people that custody with them but you’re living in a w garden and there’s still risk because the true the true test of time is your own Bitcoin in your own wallet securing your own private Keys which is just that piece of information your ability to spend the Bitcoin that’s your power with a wallet and if you have your own Bitcoin in your own wallet your own private key um well if uh if uh you trust your kids enough you can just hand it to them so to speak but um there’s there’s it’s one of the biggest issues at the moment I think people are trying to contend with is what they are comfortable with but the key thing here is education the the the default should not be here you go large institution handle all my Bitcoin for me that’s that’s what we want to move away from and it’s good that the younger ages are more pushing for self custody and wanting to be outside the system so to speak but people of a middle age to older age they are more used to such institutions managing their capital and that that transition is not going to be perfect again if the price is going to take off um with some form of acceleration with all this massive adoption from countries and continents even uh into Bitcoin that the exchange rate from dollar to bitcoin is going to go insane what does that do it well it means it’s an incredibly valuable asset a fixed Supply planetary scale energy currency that everyone and anyone wants but the the truest test of time of how you you can keep yours whilst others want to take it is to self- custody and that starts as small as a couple hundred worth of bitcoin with a wallet and just learning it’s a learning curve that’s required you you confronted with the idea of managing your own money it may be a New Concept but if this video inspires just one person to try and attempt self- custody and play around um and and store a little bit of Bitcoin in a wallet understand the private Keys understand how it works maybe go to that next level of a multi signature setup which is essentially two keys that access uh that are required to access the same money and move it um it’s just going to be the difference between you being able to to to live in which the the Young The Young Ones like myself are going to live in the future which is a little bit more leaning on self- custody and that’s not to say that if you really don’t have a comfort of managing your own money that you want to use some form of um solution of a product Market service with one of these large institutions that offer services to to custody with them but for example Fidelity just launched a uh a crypto pension Ira promoting it as no fees and then you go and look at the uh the small print and they charge a 1% fee on all transactions 1% fee on the spread so they buy at $100 they give you $99 that’s fee so you’ve got to also understand that these different institutions are going to promote Perfection on the outside and it you really need to make the effort to understand how they make their money on the inside and it’s those sorts of things that I don’t think it’s deceptive so to speak but it’s it’s it’s not it’s what they communicate is different to what the actual reality is and those are the sorts of things that that I don’t I don’t agree with but anyway this was uh an interesting sort of different direction to go in um just exploring different thoughts and feelings as to different people where they’re at in life and what they want from the world and different uh custody Solutions the key thing is the why even if you go no I’d rather just have someone else manage it for me but you understand the why as to what self- custody is and what it’s for and those Lessons Learned and the different risk trade-offs from all these different methods thank you for listening hope you enjoy and I will see you in the next one good goodbye

Video Transcript:

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

Trump’s tariffs are shaking up Bitcoin mining—big time! I unpack how tariffs spike import costs, flipping just-in-time supply chains from China (think Bitmain, Whatsminer) to just-in-case near-shoring.

But here’s the twist: miners don’t need the US! They chase cheap energy and internet anywhere—tariffs can’t stop that. We dive into efficiencies, energy prices on a Bitcoin unit of account, and why fiat’s grip weakens.

Are tariffs a bust for BTC mining—or a Hidden boost? Watch to find out!

Video Transcript:

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

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

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

Video Transcript:

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

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

hello there and welcome to the 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

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

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 about Bitcoin and everything about Bitcoin teaching teaching from a fundamentals first perspective this is to say that we delve into everything of the energy sector the Bitcoin mining compute aspect of things that bridge and Export electricity into the digital world to produce Bitcoin blocks Bitcoin blocks are a database system system of money and those monetary units that are just ones and zeros moving around different wallets that database system is updated by energy and so we have a digital form of money that requires energy to update the database what this does is create a form of money with a direct pricing issuance and settlement from electricity and what this does is directly align our Digital World of money to something physically real which creates perfect alignment with humans because everything in our life costs time and energy to produce you have to eat if you don’t you die and with Bitcoin it’s the same it has to consume energy to issue and update this currency system and as we expand more energy and more compute underneath a fixed supply of 21 million units you gain more purchasing power isn’t that an interesting approach and it’s all hidden in the language because Fiat money has a loss of purchasing power cuz they don’t increase the expansion of productivity in our Fiat monetary system they try to they expand the units at the top when you expand the numerator the value per unit drops and so house prices are not going up the currency is going down and so the topic of today’s video is it’s just math if it’s not quite obvious with all these sorts of weird and wonderful numbers shown here and what I’d like to do is just take you through all of these pieces and how they inter connect together how you can use little tips and tricks to sort of convert different units that you may see and learn in your Bitcoin journey and I hope you know your units Mega Giga Terra kilo all these sorts of scale of different units so we’ll start right at the top but remember it’s energy producing compute producing Bitcoin but we’ll go from top to bottom and so Bitcoin blocks are added to the chain and every block has a number the first block that was ever mined was number one the next block was number two the next block was number three I think you get the gist we are now at block 888,246 blocks the network looks at the time the the time stamps cuz other people refer refer to the blockchain as the time chain because it’s a timestamp server every new block added Issues new Bitcoin and settles transactions of existing Bitcoin trying to circulate in the system it’s a database and it has energy to update it so it’s the all this compute power that’s producing these blocks and right now we have at any moment in time a specific difficulty level this difficulty level is observing how much compute powers in the in the system based on how quickly blocks are mined If This Were to double Bitcoin blocks would would not be mining every 10 minutes approximately they’d be found every 5 minutes and the best analogy for the difficulty adjustment is think of the performance of a car and the speed hash rate in the network is the performance of the network it’s the security budget it’s also the performance performance in the sense of if you’re driving at a certain speed and and in approximately 10 minutes you would reach a certain distance if you increase your speed you would reach that same point in distance much quicker which is similar to how we find blocks much quicker if you slowed down it would take longer if you speed up it much is much quicker if you went twice as fast as in twice as much hash rate we would get blocks as I said every 5 minutes instead of 10 and the network doesn’t want this because that means that all of this Bitcoin being issued per block and settled per block would happen twice as fast it would introduce twice as much inflation into the system and the whole system on the digital site is trying to constrain energy space and time have issued money across compute Space Storage for transaction fees by regulating time with this thing called the difficulty adjustment and all the nodes coordinate together to ensure that they are all synced and synchronized and so right now the difficulty adjustment is 112.1 15 in trillion T and if you ever see this figure I’ll give you a little helpful hand if you want to understand how much hash rate’s in the system just multiply this figure by 7158 27826 recurring if you want to be really specific and you will get the average hash rate this is the network looking there is much more behind this figure but I haven’t shown in this video cuz it’s a bit more complex I’ll do it in a different video but the overall gist is this you can understand the average hash rate of the network by multiplying the difficulty by this number and the difficulty is constantly changing approximately every 2016 blocks this is to say that it’s looking back well it’s intending it to be two weeks but if blocks are found if 20 2016 blocks are found in less than 2 weeks the uh the network makes it more difficult ult if the hash rate has effectively slowed down because blocks have slowed down because it takes more than 2 weeks it makes it less difficult and it’s representative of the amount of hash rate in the system and what is producing hash rate all of this Bitcoin mining hardware and the network average right now if you compare the amount of hash rate is about 20 jewles per terahash now one ex aash is 1 million terahash but interestingly enough you can multiply the average Jewels per terahash efficiency U by hash rate and you get approximately how much megawatts the Bitcoin network is consuming you could also use this for the Bitcoin miners the public miners who will typically promote their uh Fleet efficiency is what they refer to it as as well so the average efficiency of the total uh amount of machines that they have under management and their conversion from electricity into compute power so this amount of megawatts divided by 22 gets you about 800 xash and what you see here is the entire stack of all the different mathematical layers of bitcoin’s network so we produce power from all different sources whether they emit carbon or not that’s another topic we can delve into and to produce well all of this amount of power which is consumed and converted at a rate of approximately 22 two jws per terahash as a network average into Network hash rate and network difficulty which is trying to understand the rate in which blocks are being mined over a 2016 block period two weeks and this is uh the time aspect of things so you’ve got this aspect of energy space and time so to speak and the Bitcoin blockchain essentially has to invent its own time because we don’t want to trust any any particular one thing person or place or an API because what’s to stop them manipulating time because the reason Bitcoin blocks are every 10 minutes is it creates an order of transactions the transactions are in the right order because the blocks are in the right order and time is is proven through the space between blocks and so you’ve got this incredible system of mathematics but I’ve I’ve taking you through the the the physical side of we produce power we convert it into hash rate hash rate is understood by the network at the rate in which blocks a mind and it creates a Time series of of of time in a sense and this brings uh me to an interesting direction that I’d like to talk about in a different video If Bitcoin blocks preserve a certain amount of data and transactions of all human expressions of trade and and and human activity and you can’t change interestingly enough you cannot change a specific thing about a block without unwinding all blocks ahead of it so if if by this approach that Bitcoin has locked and secured and built blocks on top of each other and you cannot go back in time and change a block because you would alter all blocks from that point it’s almost as if what people discuss in time travel movies you can’t go back in in back in time and change one single thing because it it Alters it Alters the future entirely and so Bitcoin does create this sort of dimensional axis of energy space and time and constrains it in the digital world but imagine this imagine if someone screamed I’m from the future right and they went here I can prove it and they showed a Bitcoin blockchain that’s way ahead of everyone else way ahead in in Block time and and they had a sustained difficulty adjustment because this difficulty figure represents this amount of hash rate which represents this amount of energy being uh consumed underneath so imagine if someone said I can prove that I’m from the future because they showed you a node with a block time that say multiple millions of blocks ahead of everyone else assuming they’re from the future and they can prove it because the difficulty adust adjustment is sustained and it’s because there’s over 17 or 18 nuclear power stations worth of proof uh in any moment in time with what they can show you so what I’m trying to say is uh bitcoin’s blockchain create some aspect of a technology that could be used as a SpaceTime navigation device because if you was to go back in time or ahead in time you would know exactly where you are based in time when you are based in a specific moment of time space and uh it’s all based on the sort of ability to prove that energy has been expended to produce this compute power block these these timestamped blocks of Bitcoin that require energy to produce them it’s a bit of a weird and wonderful approach but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say but I think I’ll leave it there there’s um but yeah final recap we we consume all of this electricity megawatts of power convert it into bit through Bitcoin mining machines which is expended as heat which is an entirely different world as well to produce hash rate Which con constantly adds blocks to the chain in which the network is constraining the rate of time of issuance with the difficulty adjustment and and creating a Time series time series which is numbered uh and manages everything so all of this expands and the Bitcoin blockchain side of things constrains it so it’s like a sign scientific experiment the other way around it’s with science you you don’t change anything but you change one thing Bitcoin does it the other way around everything changes but it constrains one thing the issuance rate so it’s a regulation device to remove issuance power out of the hands of humans and distribute ISS issuance power based on energy and compute efficiency so those most efficient with their energy will account the most SATs that is a Timeless phrase to take away with you in your approach to accumulating Bitcoin I hope this was an interesting video I hope you enjoy like subscribe all that fun stuff and I will see you in the next one goodbye

Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we unpack Bitcoin’s big players. In “The VALUE Proposition of MicroStrategy? MSTR,” we explore BTC’s core value and how MicroStrategy (MSTR) rides it with nearly half a million BTC!

What’s Covered:

Bitcoin’s value: Energy + compute tech, capped at 21M units.

MicroStrategy: Owns ~500k BTC—front-row seat to the network.

Energy: ~$140 BTC per MSTR share—digital energy in your pocket.

Space: Shares trade at 2x NAV (~$280)—Saylor grabs the premium, buys more BTC (accretive dilution).

Time: Borrows, issues shares, stacks BTC—long-term value play.

Bitcoin banking potential: Compute as the commodity decentralised by miners who manage —issuance (subsidy) + settlement (fees) of BTC.

Key Insights:

MSTR’s edge: Cycles premium into more BTC per share—like miners cycle price into energy value.

Energy/Space/Time: BTC’s network thrives, MSTR amplifies it.

Compute banking: Miners secure blocks—subsidy + fees fuel the system.

Saylor’s move: Captures BTC’s growth with Wall Street savvy.

Why Watch:
Decode MSTR’s strategy and BTC’s energy-driven economics.

More to come—stay tuned for the full breakdown!

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jacob scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place that we delve into anything and everything about Bitcoin that you wish to learn want to learn and how to learn it so we delve into Bitcoin from a fundamentals first perspective delving into the different aspects of energy production compute and Bitcoin mining which transcends energy and exports it to the internet to produce blocks of Bitcoin a timestamp server issuing a full supply of 21 million database units we call Bitcoin data money and so the context of today’s video is the IUS called micr strategy shares and how they have an underlying Bitcoin per share Associated to them we’re going to look at the different pricing comparisons between the shares and the Bitcoin per share nav value and also that time derived understanding of what is the long-term value potential of Bitcoin and thus also micro strategy so let’s get stuck in the first thing’s first thing to understand is that they’re no longer called micro strategy it’s now strategy because there is nothing micro about their Bitcoin purchases they currently own something like 499,000 Bitcoin which is nuts when you think about it and the first thing to understand about about this is if they own half a million Bitcoin and the full Supply is 21 million and a lot of that bitcoin’s been lost as well well this company have a first class front row seat to the spaceship that is Bitcoin and all of this underlying compute and energy aspects of infrastructure and commodities and all these other different value propositions that Bitcoin will offer now and into the future well this one single company is going to hold a significant share of all of that value potential and this is to say that everything to do with the expansion of Bitcoin in the energy sector of being able to stabilize grids price the electricity in Bitcoin monetize the continual buildout of more Renewables non-renewables and off- grid as well the construction of more grid infrastructure the deployment of more Bitcoin mining Hardware that produces heat and that can be used in pools and schools and green houses and everything in between and monetizing the microchip production line to innovate and make microchips and transistors more dense and all of this compute power the world’s most secure Well Network infrastructure and communication system that ensures that these blocks are being added with a cost to produce and that is the the unique value proposition of the Bitcoin blockchain or time chain shall we say because as more computes is joining the network the blocks may get faster and get produced quicker than 10 minutes and so it raises that security level the difficulty adjustment as to how hard it is to produce Bitcoin and that creates a pricing system the amount of Bitcoin earned per day gets priced against the 17 gaw of power constantly chasing the next block in the chain but why is this all important in the context of micro strategy we’ll delve into that now so energy space and time yes it’s very cliche but it’s a good way to just conceptualize what micro strategy are doing and how they’re doing it and why people are buying into their shares and what the long-term value proposition is over time so there’s about $140 worth of bitcoin per strategy share and the share price is trading at say 280 so the nav is well half the share price and so the shares are pring trading at a 2X premium so if you held one Bitcoin and you sold it to buy mstr your share price would be the dollar equivalent of the bit the Share value would be the dollar equivalent of the Bitcoin but you would only have half a Bitcoin per your per your share amount so why would you do that why would you sell a Bitcoin to re to buy into shares that trade half the amount of Bitcoin per share in underlying value well this is because the of the time component that uh micro strategy and Michael sailor are taking on debt so they borrow a billion dollars buy a billion dollars worth of bitcoin and as that appreciates they can capture that difference and they’re continually cycling more shares capturing that premium Andy cycling it into buying more value and that ability to accumulate the Bitcoin per share is something we call a creative dilution that is to say that if you own x amount of shares your percentage of the company as they continually issue more shares gets less so you start owning a smaller percentage of the company but the shares that you hold have a greater quantity of Bitcoin per share a creative dilution it sounds paradoxical but everything in this Bitcoin space is very paradoxical and then this time component of the long-term value proposition of a fixed Supply data energy derived monetary unit with energy and compute expanding underneath it with heating systems As One Direction carbon accounting as another and all the these other different pieces that all of these other layers of the network the Technologies and the Commodities are continually inflating and expanding under 21 million units and if half a million of those units are are owned by the single company that value proposition of cycling all of this volatile premium into more value per share well that’s going to have an interesting value proposition into the future but there’s also another component we haven’t discussed that micro strategy want to go in the direction of Bitcoin banking now I personally believe that compute power is the most fundamental commodity to a banking discussion when it comes to bitcoin why because how is Bitcoin issued through compute power how is it settled through compute power so essentially compute power is bitcoin’s Mama cuz it produces and set all transactions of the blockchain by finding the blocks because you either pay to play you pay to store your transaction data in a block or you produce the blocks yourself issuance and settlement are that Banking and settlement layer when it comes to the context of Bitcoin banking so that’s my thought for takeaway as to how the longevity of their value proposition is not going to be in a dollar dered derived well dollar derived D world but more so in in an energy and compute side of things and this is another interesting concept that the way that micro strategy are capturing share premium and cycling it back into Bitcoin to dollar value which is actually a premium in of itself when you contextualize it to Bitcoin mining why because Bitcoin miners produce Bitcoin at a discount if their production costs of the electrical bill means that for every $1 of energy they spend they produce $2 of Bitcoin their production cost for Bitcoin is about 50% this is to say that if they spend $40,000 on electricity to produce an $80,000 Bitcoin well Bitcoin to dollar is their premium and the underlying conversion exchange rate from electricity into Bitcoin from the mining side of things that is an approach of producing Bitcoin and capturing in the Bitcoin to dollar price as a premium so it’s the same approach that strategy are doing with converting into Bitcoin premium well they’re both premiums is what I’m trying to say so that’s a different sort of topic we can delve into in another video but the time aspect of things the the the borrowing of money is piercing a hole in the debt money system and truly I believe that the debt money trust model is going going to be changed we’re going to swap it to truth a storage system of absolute truth the layer one blockchain and all the different other layers that are going to come they’re just expansively creating more space for transaction velocity but having net settlement down to that blockchain layer as we talked about before in the perspective of a Bitcoin banking system again another topic for another day so I hope you enjoyed this video uh my throat’s going but I’m going to keep churning out videos as I can because I want to push out value into this uh Digital World of YouTube and everything else and in between so like subscribe share send it to the group chat and I will see you in the next one goodbye

Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we twist Bitcoin’s tale. In “Bitcoin Can Be Double Spent!,” we redefine double-spending through mining’s magic.

What’s Covered:
Bitcoin layers: Energy → Compute → Finance.

Blockchain truth: No double-spend on transactions—secured tight.

New spin: Mining “double spends” energy into two outputs.

Output 1: Hashpower → Bitcoin (digital income).

Output 2: Waste heat → Useful energy (physical income).

Heat’s value: Over 50% of global energy is for heat—huge potential.

Key Insights:
Dual win: 1 kWh = BTC + heat for greenhouses, pools, homes.

Scale it up: 1% of heating from mining? Hashrate quadruples.

Cost jump: Production hits $250k/BTC—price could soar past $1M.

Premium link: 4x multiplier from other vids—heat fuels the rise.

Why Watch:
Flip the double-spend myth into a mining superpower.

See BTC hit $1M with heat as the secret sauce.

Join Hashpower Academy to rethink Bitcoin’s outputs—watch now and feel the heat!

Video Transcript:

and the topic of today’s video is Bitcoin can be double spent but first let me introduce myself hello there my name is Jake and I am the lead educator here at the hash power Academy where we learn about Bitcoin and anything to do with Bitcoin from a fundamentals first perspective that is to say that we go through through the energy side of Bitcoin then the compute and Bitcoin mining side and learn about blockchain and Bitcoin as money in a financial context talk last and this allows you to go through the different steps of how bitcoin’s produced mathematically and based in physics those are the fundamentals and all the other Financial fund stuff works on top with clear understanding as to how it works why it works and everything in between and the question of today’s video can Bitcoin be double spent but let’s just go through the layers and we’ll get some broader perspective on this question we produce energy we transfer it over time electricity we consume electricity in Bitcoin mining hardware and that Hardware produces compute power which adds Bitcoin blocks to the chain so Bitcoin miners are earning a certain amount of Bitcoin based on how much compute power they’re producing over time their energy bill electrical bill converted into compute converted into Bitcoin it’s three steps energy compute and finance and on the Bitcoin blockchain side of things this is where people store the data for their transactions when when you pay a fee to send Bitcoin you are essentially paying for the storage space of your transaction information because in a central banking system all of the information the source of Truth is one single place and one single node in that sense but in a decentralized system everyone has multiple copies of the same transaction file think of it as a giant Excel spreadsheet where only the people that have access to edit are the minors everyone that has the ACC has the the copy of the file a readon format is a node and those that own the line items in the Excel spreadsheet those are the Bitcoin holders with their wallets and essentially the transaction Integrity of Bitcoin is secured on the digital side that is the understanding of who owns the units what wallets they are in all in a public verifiable format but the double spend operates from both dimensions of Bitcoin the physical world below this line of electricity production electricity and Hardware the physical aspects the physical components and then the digital side is compute power and the blockchain and Bitcoin the native digital money and what what happens here is the double spend interestingly enough is not anywhere on the digital side yes electricity produces compute produces Bitcoin that’s one single branch of economic energy flow from the physical side to the digital side but there is another heat heat is well as the rule goes energy is neither created nor destroyed only transferred so yes those electrons racing around little circuits to compute produce compute power to find the next block in the chain to earn Bitcoin that’s one branch of earning income from your energy costs but the second one is all of that heat has to be removed everyone’s experience putting their computer on the bed and it overheats because it needs to remove the heat effectively if the heat is not removed it warms up and becomes inefficient or breaks and that is the same with the entire Bitcoin mining industry the energy is neither created nor destroyed only transferred through the computer to perform computations but you still have to remove that heat but it’s considered a waste waste heat you have to remove it but is that all no there is an entire branch of Bitcoin using the heat as its commodity such as heating greenh houses heating pools heating schools district heating which is one single module of computers with pipes running out to say different homes or underneath the pavement next to roads so that the roads never freeze essentially using heat as a commodity in of itself which which means that you have one energy input but two revenue streams one on the physical world and one in the digital world so the double spend is not some risk to transaction Integrity that is always maintained as your data goes into a block and more blocks are added that data cannot change because it changes all blocks after that and so it’s like platting your hair you can’t plat the hair and untie this bit without unwinding the whole lot in a different sort of analogy and on the heat side of things heat as a commodity is incredibly valuable because over 50% of our needs globally and our consumption of energy globally 50% of that is just for heat and there is an interesting metric to say that if 1% of global heating demand was using hash rate heating where the energy cost is some of it’s being subsidized through the production of Bitcoin in the process why run energy through an electric heater to generate heat when you could run it through a computer that consumes the same amount of power but produces you money in the process imagine that every time you turn the heating on your heating system is paying you now wouldn’t that be a turn of events and so this entire branch is worth your understanding and worth your knowledge to delve into to learn about because it’s going to become an an entire sector of Bitcoin in of itself and as I said if 1% of global heating used Bitcoin mining it would quadruple the size of the Bitcoin Network and if you’ve seen other videos of mine if the network was to quadruple in size the Bitcoin price could reach to over a million dollar because the production cost would rise to about $250,000 per Bitcoin and price typically trades at four times multiplier at the peak of the bull market against production so if production was 250k Bitcoin price could be shooting up to a million dollar now wouldn’t we all like that because as you produce more compute and the price goes up miners capture that premium of price and cycle it back into more um production I hope this was an interesting sort of video an interesting twist that yes Bitcoin can be double spent but it’s spent once in the digital world and twice in the physical world so it’s if you run a business that you have a need for heat let’s say you have a a la Dre you have a big tank of water sitting behind all of these washing machines and customers paying you to use that hot water and to wash their clothes you could have that tank of hot water heated by Bitcoin miners so you’re generating one income stream on the digital side from that energy cost and the second income stream of having readily available warm water for your business I also believe that these sorts of heating systems will be connected to electric car charging stations where they have a business of selling energy and if there’s no cars currently charging you could be consuming that energy into Bitcoin mining machines the heat from the machines into laundry systems into a building into a coffee shop into a sauna there’s all these Endless Possibilities when you expand your mind in the concepts of how many different applications we need for heat in this world thank you for listening I hope you hope you enjoyed this video and I will see you in the next one goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake and here we discuss anything and everything related to bitcoin and its underlying Network the question of today is deflation and why Bitcoin won’t work as money wrong and let me explain why but first let’s understand how inflationary money works that credit and debt is expanded in which to pay for things budgets and well governments have budget deficits they spend more than they bring in so in essence they issue more money and borrow more money and all these sorts of things they have a very limited option of how they can access money and what do they do with it money is a manipulation of consumption consumption in society based on debt accelerates and pays and shifts value and wealth towards producing producers of what producers of everything but the goal here is that well Society wants to continually grow and expand and it has to build all that infrastructure so yes a form of money that shifts value towards producers is good but it demonetizes those with savings and salaries think of a chocolate bar that you bought 30 years ago what’s the price of it now did the chocolate bar change probably not it’s energy costs increased and there’s an interesting piece to that but the dollarized aspect of it or the pound or the Euro the Yen or anything it’s continually increasing or even say my grandmother’s house she hasn’t done a single thing to the house the village hasn’t got any bigger but now it’s worth four times as much money why did the house change or did the money change there’s the question and so as the money supply increases it seems like housing prices increase and everything else increases and that is to say that the justification of inflationary money is to expand credit to build and make Society Prosper but that prosperity and productivity is only felt by a very small few and so what does Bitcoin offer that’s different well Bitcoin is deflationary yes it’s fixed in Supply 21 million units but interestingly enough the history of money does does have deflationary money gold gold was a form of money used and it’s very hard to produce and that incentive to go and produce whichever commodity is the money has always been there if any form of society was structured around a specific commodity being the money what did people do they went out and went to seek to produce that particular commodity in Greater volume because it was the most tradable thing that you could use and so so with with Bitcoin being introduced scaling to Monumental valuations well what does that do what incentives are within that system that allow it to prosper and get and give value and add value to society well how is Bitcoin produced Bitcoin is produced from energy right and it’s started with basic laptops CPUs being able to issue and create Bitcoin in large quantities but what happened is as more hash power joined the network the exchange of electricity into computers to perform processing functions to produce the next block in the chain and so the pricing system related to bitcoin is not its scarce 21 million units it’s still being issued now and forever for the next 100 plus years is where subsidy declines to zero subsidy is the amount of freshly mined Bitcoin entering into circulation but you’ve also got fees which is existing Bitcoin that’s already been issued and circulating moving from consumer Trader transactor using the Utility side of Bitcoin to producer Bitcoin Miners And so this duopoly of Finance from the Bitcoin side of consumption to trade and transact and those information pieces are stored in blocks and the production side of Bitcoin and what you get is that this side is constrained by a full supply of 21 million so the money itself is deflationary and continually gaining value against all other things there is 8 billion people and there’s only going to be 21 million if more people and civilization grows it means less Bitcoin per person if more energy and more compute power is continually seeking to produce Bitcoin it means that the price of energy and compute is going to continually Trend to zero but compute power is the only thing that produces Bitcoin and therefore it has a part in this conversation and so right now the pricing system of Bitcoin to compute an energy is roughly about 450 Bitcoin a day is shall we say an amount that is being distributed in about 144 blocks to different Bitcoin mining pools and solo Miners and distributed to those who are consuming energy on electrical grids all around the planet and running it through their Bitcoin miners the network of compute in the middle is about 800 xash and this bit constrains the rate in which blocks are being mined because the software is continually looking at how quickly these blocks are mined and making it sure it it adheres to those 10minute intervals approximately and the amount of compute power or the amount of compute power being produced is a projection of the amount of energy in real time being consumed approximately to produce that compute power to earn that 50 $450 of bit 450 Bitcoin that’s a lot more than $450 so the 17 gaw of power is producing $ 800 xash or 800 million terahash of compute power which is earning that 450 Bitcoin so there is an in essence a division here as well and this is the pricing system of the amount of energy being converted through compute into Bitcoin and this pricing system enables miners to understand okay my electrical bill is this much I’m earning this much Bitcoin here’s my margin and if there is more consumption on the finance side of Bitcoin if more people trading and transacting and the amount of Bitcoin that they earn jumps to 500 Bitcoin to 600 Bitcoin as a network well that 17 gaw of power is going to earn more Bitcoin say per kilowatt and so you’ve got this into Play Between the amount of energy being produced and consumed to capture the next block in the chain and capture some of this 450 Bitcoin that’s being distributed to the network every day and this creates a pricing system and a layer of incentives again inflationary money seeks to print units steal value from savings and salaries of its citizens to buy productivity and build it so essentially it’s putting the cart before the horse what Bitcoin does is it realigns the incentives if you want the money of the future that’s fixed in Supply that’s continually gaining value in a deflationary world you need to go out and produce more energy and more comput you need to expand this supply of energy in the world and the amount of technical techn technology branches delving into microchips and stuff like that is that not a good incentive and it basically means this that Bitcoin as a monetary system its incentives are for those to go and produce more energy and more compute to earn the money of the future now what happens if you increase the supply of energy available in the world you reduce the price and do we not want a world in which the price of energy drops think of energy prices right now if we produce more energy have a system that can consume it in real time and price it against a global monetary asset which means essentially local energy being exported to the internet and proofed into quantities of a data derived energy unit called Bitcoin we now have a pricing system of a deflationary money which is expanding the energy supply of the world so essentially Bitcoin swaps interest rates from a debt-based world into Energy prices from a deflationary world and the hard digital money of Bitcoin allows us to expand energy and compute across the world and it’s already happening there is 17 gaw of power right now being consumed all across the planet which means that there are computers consuming that power and they can also sell that power back to the grid because if someone offered more money than what the rate of the revenue from the Bitcoin Network side of things can offer you’ve got you’ve got two comparisons will the local grid buy the energy for more or the the Global Financial Network buy the energy for more you’ve got two different options so whichever one pays more is better but remember if more more compute power joins the network and not more consumption as in if production in the network increases while consumption stays the same or decreases the difficulty adjustment increases which means the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt decreases so as more hash rate joins the network the energy to Bitcoin exchange rate drops and that means that your Bitcoin buys you more energy and so hash rate being that projection of energy availability within the network is the key indicator for how much Prosperity we’re going to have the difficulty adjustment continually increasing is the key value metric of the network Collective this was quite a weird and wonderful topic I hope you enjoyed I’m going to do more of this stuff but I hope you understand that deflationary money does not mean that we are going to have a world where productivity declines in fact it’s going to expand massively because what do you think you can produce with cheaper energy and hard money there you go so I hope you enjoyed this video uh like subscribe all that fun stuff and I’ll see you in the next one goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scandin I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and here we seek to understand develop explore all different sorts of educational materials from a fundamentals first perspective on bitcoin from the energy side all the way to finance last and the topic of today’s video is how to accumulate one whole Bitcoin but first I have a question for you why why do you want to accuse acculate one in 21 million units that are continually getting more scarce as they are lost over time which is probably down to 17 16 15 million Bitcoin that is available to own and the ever increasing amount of people that may seek to acquire it so your objective goal to get to one whole Bitcoin is climbing a mountain that is continually getting steeper over time but the concept of why do you want one whole Bitcoin I ask because I’ll give you the Fiat analogy if you had won the lottery and you’re standing there with the keys of your dream home and the keys of your dream car the most beautiful wife family kids and all the other things of abundance that you seek what are you going to do with your time that day because the truest currency is your time a balance that you do not know the total amount and the the approach there and the question the perspective truly is well what is the money for do you want something to preserve and protect your purchasing power that you want to hand down to your kids your family and allow them to enjoy the fruits of your labor historically wealth doesn’t last too many generations along because people spend it if they don’t understand the value time cost and energy associated to acquiring that money Bitcoin interestingly enough is produced from electricity but let’s delve into the topic of today and I hope you have that question answered I have different dreams goals and aspirations to use my Bitcoin that I accumulate in ways of building about abundance in this world connecting and scaling a citadel shall we say and the opportunity to create new things and that that approach of why fight the old world when we can just build a new one and so the acquisition of one whole Bitcoin is going to be a goal for many people in the Bitcoin space and the first hurdle that a lot of people fail is unit bias there’s a lot of people that have heard about Bitcoin they may have bought some sold some lost some and they are disgruntled and angered by the fact that they no longer have it and watched it take off they watched the spaceship go without them and that may be sad demoralizing frustrating and that resentment is only going to hurt them so if you are one of these people that needs a fresh perspective to accumulate Bitcoin from today from from tomorrow um I hope this is an open invitation for you to at least start that journey and that is to say that it is an absolutely scarce unit of database money and that database is updated by energy from Bitcoin mining so you’ve got all these other layers that truly need to be understood in your ability to acquire Bitcoin but let’s go to the first phase and I hope you’re pass the first hurdle that you don’t need to buy one whole Bitcoin Allin one go but instead gradually accumulate over time you’re preserving your time and energy as it gains more value because the value of Bitcoin and the price are two different things but they correlate and Trend together over time so when you looked at Bitcoin that it was $30 3,000 or 300,000 in the future its underlying value is always going to be having some form of relative proportionality to any different moment in time it is the time chain just to me just to remember store of value the name of the game is arbitrage Fiat Arbitrage and that is to say that you currently have the ability to earn a money backed by nothing and convert it into money backed by something that is replacing a monetary system based on trust and replacing it for a monetary system based on truth the blockchain is a source of Truth a database of information that is impenetrable by only one thing well the only thing that penetrates the database and updates it is compute power the very thing that can attack the network is paid in Bitcoin to defend it and so your ability to preserve your value in that system right now is based on fear Arbitrage go out into the world create things generate income add value and convert that value your income minus expenses and the percentage of your savings what percentage you believe in Bitcoin that should be the amount that you try saving Bitcoin in incremental purchases because if you purchase Bitcoin in incremental payments you remove the volatility because you just gain an average price which over time will go up in time and volatility is another piece of fud fear uncertainty and doubt that people use to justify not going into Bitcoin but the majority of the financial sector have their cup full perceptions and ideas behind what Bitcoin is from a completely debt-based Fiat lens when it’s something completely new and it’s required to empty the cup and open a fresh perspective but Fiat Arbitrage in the store of value phase is the name of the game while everyone’s conceptualizing why it’s going up what’s it for is it a bubble and all these other weird and wonderful things it’s engineered money designed to pierce the bubble of debt-based money oh medium of Exchange the next phase productivity so you’ve accumulated some Bitcoin whether you’ve got to one whole one or You’ got past one whole Bitcoin and you want even more the name of the game here now is if you have some form of business or offer some Market service or anything in between you’re going to have something to do with energy and money and the thing that’s stuck between the middle of energy and money is compute power so if you have a business that needs heat or you are in the world of carbon accounting and all these other sorts of directions but namely energy compute and finance they intersect as a trior and productivity is that that ability to margin the gap between your income and your expenses from a business perspective that is to say that there are other ways to acquire Bitcoin and Mining is the only alternative to buying now if there is a lot of people with a lot of dollars that have purchased all the Bitcoin and they are hodling holding for dear life and never going to sell their Bitcoin where are you going to get it from in a world where the price of Bitcoin is multi-million where are you going to get your Bitcoin from so the strategy changes to being productive because if you consume in society like watching this uh buying things you are sending out money receiving goods and services if you want Bitcoin in a medium of exchange world of Bitcoin as the adoption curve you need to be productive as as a person as a business that you want to be paid in Bitcoin you’re exporting value being productive or selling something producing something and when you produce things you receive money because money moves in the opposite direction of goods and services so medium of exchange phase is when Bitcoin is connected to the energy sector and the compute aspect of things and the financial sector all of these different branches of Bitcoin require you to create and add value in society and I do believe this will be the the golden years of bitcoin’s acceleration because these three represent adoption curves these huge bell curves that cumulatively create an S curve and this will be the most steep part of the S curve shooting up a value and interconnectivity the medium of exchange being comput in the middle of energy and finance the third phase which is much more further out but still your ability to acquire Bitcoin as I said is a mountain that’s Contin getting steeper but a worthy goal if you seek to preserve that money over time add value exchange it back into things such as reinvesting into the Bitcoin Network and all other different aspects of the entire sector where it’s going how it’s growing new sort of citizens of the world should we say because Bitcoin is going to change people in the way that Fiat money changed people that people spent today and couldn’t save for tomorrow because the money bought you less over time and if you go back in history the Golden Ages the most impressive constructions developments designs and music classical music even was all built on a hard money gold standard so when we have Bitcoin as a unit of account which right now the inflation rate of Bitcoin mining is now lower than that of gold and so when we bring about a world of the information age of a Digital hard money that’s more SC than gold what’s the world going to look like then and what is the accumulation strategy in a world where everything is based on a money that’s backed by energy the name of the game is connectivity connectivity is your ability to express all those different offerings of how you can trade transact contracts employment all these sorts of things on a Bitcoin unit of account and connectivity is not just the trade of goods and services in Bitcoin but the access that a a plant will grow itself from the seed and then send out shoots and connect and these sorts of pieces is why I I see lots of people having different analogies to bitcoin and one of them being it’s like a digital mycelium Network and connectivity network of effect truly takes place here when the dollarized world has no underlying commodity that it’s connected to we used to have a form of money paper that was redeeming gold that you you put gold in a vault and were issued pieces of paper that allowed you to go and collect that gold and when the gold money standard was disconnected and now we’re everything’s based on debt money the only thing that sustains the value of money now is the illusion that it has value because it exchanges for other things so unit of account economics that’s the bit that kills the dollar what kills the dollar is when contracts are priced in Bitcoin because it removes the understanding of that long-term perpetuity of us treasuries and all these sorts of pieces that the the ability to for governments to access Finance based on IUS and debt money it it disappears if if the pricing if if the value of Fiat money is based on trust trust is the underlying and pricing of contracts and salaries and all these sorts of pieces are what sustain the delusion of of Fiat money having value well if the connectivity of the Bitcoin Network reaches the point where trade and contracts are priced in a quantity of Bitcoin game over but from your Bitcoin accumul ation strategy of one whole Bitcoin you’re going to have to offer anything and everything related to bitcoin be productive and Arbitrage any of these other Commodities into Bitcoin which reprices those Commodities against Bitcoin where bitcoin’s more valuable in in essence versus all the different Commodities of the Bitcoin Network and all the associated productivity that everyone’s creating and we are going to see a golden age that most of us will not ever be able to witness we will be too old to uh witness the unit of account phase that truly transcends into civilizations going to the Moon to Mars and maybe out of the solar system because we now have a monetary system that coordinates Society towards innovating energy and compute with a financial unit on top that accelerates that whole process I hope this was an interesting insightful video um I’m a bit tired so bear with me but this is a real interesting way of observing ing things but yeah I’ve got some questions for you why do you want one whole Bitcoin and what you going to do with it those are the two deep sit somewhere by yourself without a phone no distractions and really think as to why the the why the the truth seeking is one of the most culturally resonant things in the Bitcoin space that we all want to seek more for ourselves more for our loved ones and the people around us and we’re all going to find our tribes I hope you enjoyed this video thank you for listening like subscribe share to the group chats and I will see you in the next one goodbye

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy this is where we’re going to today look at all the positive connotations of Bitcoin the misinformation of people that are not Satoshi the fears of money laundering the verbal demagogy of blaming it as an addiction people losing money in the extreme amounts if you must invest in crypto here’s how the the the language is all over the place even when bitcoin’s doing well oh it’s it’s it’s not even addressing what he did well it’s just addressing oh he lost six billion in a day before where’s this next one crypto seller admits five offenses in clap clamp down on illegal ATMs but you can go and blow all your money in a betting shop and the bank won’t say anything yeah oh someone that did well with Bitcoin but the whole article is just degrading her yep crypto crypto King’s billion dollar multi-billion dollar fraud this if you think that you’re going to get any positive insight as to what Bitcoin is I wouldn’t read the news Bitcoin Mania as I said even if it’s doing well the wording is just all over the place if you truly think you’re going to learn anything anything about Bitcoin from a truly fundamentals perspective the newspapers are just going to smoke and mirrors you through and through and this is because well I’ve got endless amounts of this it’s sad because this is Bitcoin this is Bitcoin the production of energy the transfer of it over time the consumption of it heat doesn’t the UK need a lot of heat it’s a lot of heat like over 50% of our needs in the UK for consuming energy is to produce heat so you’ve got this computer monetization system which consumes energy turns it into money the output of that energy consumption produces heat which could go into your home the compute power supports a storage space for information the blockchain and all these other different pieces that truly add value to society but the UK wants none of it and it’s sad it’s really sad because there is a lot of young people with passionate interest in all the different energy compute and financial sectors but all three sectors are aifi and red taped whilst in the US they’re rolling out the red carpet the the energy sector the computer sector and financial sectors are just laying the path building the Regulatory and legal Frameworks to allow this stuff to operate and express its freedom there and the UK is dragging its heels it’s absurd so I say to people such as Ed Miller Band if Bitcoin isn’t at at least even part of the discussions as to how the UK could prosper by consuming all of its wasted energy by making wind farms switch off when they have too much power and paying them for it that’s like a business being full of inventory on the High Street and there’s a customer at the door miners wanting to buy closing the doors and charging customers for it how can a business not sell it inventory and charge customers for it as a national grid that is absurd that Renewables is a factious fraud in a sense because we are paying wind farms to switch off and that that cost gets extrapolated out and charged to customers in their energy bills whilst there is a buyer of energy that can consume the energy at any time and anywhere because you just need the electrical connection and the internet connection Bitcoin is a circular system of energy and finance connected as a circuit it’s an economic energy ecosystem so anything from the media is the dollarized price and doesn’t look at any of the other parts of the iceberg so to speak so dear UK please just at least learn Bitcoin from a mathematics and physics perspective to understand that electricity now has a data derived money value and what that does is create a pricing system a natural buyer of energy and when the price of that energy goes higher than what you can turn into this new form of money well you can now sell that power back to the grid Bitcoin mining is not going to consume all energy because it’s constrained by a pricing model if more compute joins the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour will drop and so that pricing of energy continually drops and we are electrifying the world cheaper energy means you driving in your car running your your black Cab in London or any other forms of logistics all of your costs are derived in energy the food that we produce needs heat in the greenh houses fertilizer produced from energy and the transportation of those crops and the tractors and everything in between to move those Commodities to the supermarket where they are consuming electricity to keep it cold and selling it everything of our life is based on Energy prices and what does Bitcoin do it replaces the debt-based monetary system with Energy prices the more consumption in society the energy price rises in Bitcoin the less consumption in society the energy price drops because there’s more compute power and less fees so that pricing system of the amount of Bitcoin per kilowatt is dynamic and is always observant of the collectives use of energy and money I hope this was an interesting different sorts of video but all of these different layers have several different hours of conversation that could be delved into but the approach here is that this the UK needs to take a Fresh Approach and a fresh look at not just Bitcoin as money but the blockchain the compute power that produces the blocks the hardware that produces the compute power to produce the blocks and that local buyer of energy connected to Global Finance the UK historically is a banking Giant and the history of the UK going out into the world and taking risks why are we in a state that everything is so aifi and resistance resistance to change we it’s clear we are in the 21st century internet Information Age and the UK is dragging its heels so I say this to any UK decision maker I am more than happy to give my time and energy away to providing information and education where I can if that’s going to be of use I’d like to help my country thank you for listening and goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake and this is where we talk about anything and everything to do with Bitcoin and its wider underlying Network in the topic of today’s video we’re going to look at what a mining pools and what do they do but first let’s just run through the layers of the Bitcoin Network in a six-part format that is to say that we produce electricity transfer over time produce compute power transfer it over time produce Bitcoin and store it over time and basically that boils down to Energy Technologies such as solar and energy commodity electricity compute Technologies as6 CPUs gpus the timeline compute commodity they all produce hash rate Bitcoin blocks continually being added to the chain increasing the full supply of 21 million units distributed over well issued shall I say over the next 100 plus years until we reach that full 21 million cap and the context of today’s video what are mining pools well mining pools sit at the heart in the middle of the Bitcoin Network in the sense that compute power is the interplay between energy and finance for this network as you can see and that is to say that energy producers are producing power and Bitcoin miners are consuming it Bitcoin mining produces compute power and the production of compute power like electricity sort of has to be used then and there because there’s well the the context of battery storage for compute power is essentially Bitcoin and Bitcoin is essentially the digital equivalent of a battery in weird sense but you get the gist Bitcoin blocks require the consumption the reusable aspect of proof of work and there’s another there’s another one actually up here and rejoins there but we’ll discuss that another day but overall the production of Bitcoin and maybe the consumption of it in exchange for electricity but the gist here is where do mining pools fit in mining pools fit here they are the producers of Bitcoin blocks and where do they source that ability to produce Bitcoin blocks by exchanging with Bitcoin miners to buy their hash rate and I say buy their hash rate because a lot of miners are using fpps which means full pay per share and that essentially means that they are just getting paid for their hash rate and so the majority of miners are not even producing their own blocks they are selling their commodity of hash rate to the mining pools and the mining pools produce the blocks and sell them sell some of that distribution but in a quantity of Bitcoin per terahash of compute over time that is Hash price that’s one of the standard metric for comparing different blockchains at the blockchain level as to the amount of bit coin per compute power per time so the amount of digital energy you can produce with your uh conversion into hash rate from your consumption of electricity and so mining pools sitting at that bridge between these two worlds make them critically important they are the issuance mechanism of Bitcoin coming into circulation because the majority of blocks are produced by Bitcoin mining pools that’s not to say all of the blocks are produced by Bitcoin mining pools some of them are produced by solo miners or just a large scale Miner that they represent their share of hash rate in in the in the blocks that they produce and the interesting aspect of every layer of the Bitcoin network is what I like to call willing participants you can produce your own power or buy it from an electrical grid you could produce your own mining Hardware or buy it from a manufacturer and run it yourself you could produce your own Bitcoin blocks or use a mining pool you could store your own Bitcoin or store it in a platform so there’s this optionality uh between in everything to do with Bitcoin but producing your own energy and producing your own Hardware right now have extreme economies of scale especially the compu microchip side of things versus producing your own energy this could be as small as a solar panel a single machine maybe some batteries uh connected to the internet mining to a pole and earning Bitcoin there’s interoperability with all the different pieces of the network but I’ll leave it there for now in terms of mining pulls but the other aspects of mining pools on the business side is the upside capture of um your Bitcoin by selling hash rate or buying hash rate in forward contracts and as mining pools have liquidity in compute context they have the ability to maybe sell some of that compute if they’ve already paid the miner in real time there’s also that access to liquidity because miners have an input of electrical bills so that access to some form of Bitcoin Financial options means that interplay between energy and finance has a business perspective and this is what we’re going to see from mining pools going forwards that every different business within this network is expanding in their own directions and while the majority of the finance world are obsessed with Bitcoin as collateral and the energy sector obsessed with Bitcoin as a yield the sector in the middle of compute the embodiment of compute consumption versus Hardware manufacturers which could be the embodiment of compute production all of these different business are going in their own Direction because it truly is quite difficult to draw this in a linear fashion or not in a three-dimensional fashion still doesn’t doesn’t complexify as as as to how how much interplay there is between all of these different businesses but I think that’ll be that’s where we’ll leave it for now I hope you enjoyed this video if you want more more of these sorts of videos I will I’m going to do all of the six different Core Business areas shall I say of energy producers utilities Hardware manufacturers and miners mining pools the Bitcoin blockchain which could be considered different layers and platforms that use Bitcoin as money in the context of Finance as collateral uh ETFs which are just IOU tokens of Bitcoin what they do with the Bitcoin underneath who knows thank you for listening I hope you enjoyed like subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one goodbye
