Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power academy today I have an interesting video for you to look at the five logarithmic steps these objective milestones 10xing each time to reach one whole bitcoin that is starting with acquiring one 10,000th of a bitcoin then a thousandth of a bitcoin then a 100th of a bitcoinet and then one whole bitcoin now you’ve got to understand there’s two things to consider here that each step is going to take more time and this is because well as you’re going through these milestones Bitcoin is gaining value it’s a currency in fixed supply with energy and compute and dollars all expanding underneath it so when you have a currency with absolute scarcity you’re essentially uh defining a milestone at the top of a mountain that is continually getting steeper as you walk up and so what you have to measure and this video I hope is relevant whether you watch this today as I post it or in 10 years or in a 100 years or even a thousand years that your relativity of yourself as an individual today and what you can earn with your time and energy or your other assets well they’re all going to have a quantifiable amount of money but that is going to diminish over time because Bitcoin is a deflationary energy currency and so it respects and preserves its time and energy and appreciates over time but well your particular moment in time it’s going to have a particular value an exchange rate and so you are objectively uh participating in the unit bias game of going I want one whole bitcoin but that is going to just get harder or in dollars more expensive over time and so I’m just going to take you through some progressional steps as to how you can get to one whole bitcoin if that’s if that’s your goal um or somewhere along the way decide that you’re happy with the amount that you have and the other piece of this to think about is you have to look through the money because you have to think of it like this your income your time and energy into a quantity of dollars or pounds or euros or whatever it is um that’s not the that’s not the first that’s just the first step the second step is well when you go to spend it it seems to buy you less over time and so money is that medium of exchange your time and energy stored in something and it just seems to disappear by the time you reach the point of buying goods and services and so when you think about the quantity of Bitcoin that you want think about the experiences and time and energy that you want to spend in life and that money affording you that ability to do so because time is essentially the scarcest currency that we do have not the Bitcoin but nevertheless let’s go through these stages so different people in the world we all have different ability to access and generate income so sensibly $8 might be a really important milestone to one person but a one-off purchase to another or person living in New York City may spend $800 very quickly but to someone else in the world that’s an entire year’s worth of income or even less and and what this means is that this these goals are going to be specific to each individual person and their ability to locally access um well energy energy resources in monetary form so the first goal is layer two and the reason why I say layer two is you need to be considering the fact that eight or $80 worth of Bitcoin is very very small and this could be essentially a fee that’s that’s the cost of a fee so you want to be using something like the lightning network and being paid on the lightning network just to begin with uh there is a discussion within within that is can we actually be self-s sovereign with uh layer 1 block space getting more and more expensive well there’s the aspects of these layer 2s having quite an extensive amount of decentralization but it’s a it’s an ongoing debate shall we say and the first things here be to to achieve these two steps is is to learn about opening a wallet uh a lightning wallet for example and and learning that’s the key one so we’re going to just write learn learn and acquire so you’re going to have to generate a wallet secure the the 12 words or the 24 words or the private key whichever component that that is provided and secure that small amount of Bitcoin or jump straight to the 80 or $800 Bitcoin part and the layer 2 part is most important because um it’s it’s going to be that layer that’s more for micro payments and small amounts of Bitcoin and so you really want to be focusing on fee optimization with this as well and the second amount of $80 jumping jumping to 1,000th of a bitcoin you could potentially uh use your skills your knowledge and provide it online if you have access to the internet you have the ability to earn money but you’ve got to find it you’ve got to have that curiosity to go out and solve someone’s problem be productive in society and and and see what someone will pay you oh can I pay you in uh can can you pay me in Bitcoin do the work and and settle set settle that internet trade with internet money so to speak now this is the next one $800 or 0.0.1 Bitcoin as of now um this this one’s more about saving in Bitcoin and what I mean by saving is over time um 800 Bitcoin 800 Bitcoin $800 worth of Bitcoin or 0.0.1 not one um that’s going to be something that you accumulate over time so it’s it’s saving in Bitcoin you have your income you have your expenses i hope they’re less than your income and that chunk that’s you’re left over with that’s your your savings what percentage of that you choose to save in Bitcoin should be matching your confidence level if you’re 100% about Bitcoin you could use 100% not financial advice it’s up to you if you’re 50% confidence about Bitcoin maybe use 50% of your savings is always dealing with your expenses lowering your expenses increasing your income and widening that margin but the key thing here as well is you’ve got to measure the amount of blocks between these steps how long in time does it take because remember when you measure when you measure your achievements through these milestones in time you make it individual to you because yes Michael sailor’s buying the next thousand bitcoin 10,000 bitcoin whatever whatever crazy amount others are doing you’re not them we are all to individuals so it’s all about your individual experience and accumulation for yourself because the whole thing about bitcoin is it respects and preserves the time and energy that you put in to acquiring it accumulating it because this fixed supply of 21 million has more energy and compute expanding underneath it so while dollars uh in quantity form buy you less over time Bitcoin affords you more over time so time is always that key component here it’s volatility in it’s volatile in space but uh value preservation in time so what’s the amount of time and we can measure it in blocks between your your your jumps between these milestones and so that next milestone you’re getting from 0.01 bitcoin to 0.1 100th to one/10enth these are really great steps and you should be really proud if you get through these these stages so this one how long did it take you and remember these these steps presumably are going to take longer and longer so if you get to later on in your life and you understand okay this point in the future where 0.1 bitcoin buys you a house um you know this amount of time may this might be 10 years 20 years and if you’re later in your life you go okay that’s not a reasonable goal so having that time measurement in blocks allows you to just understand uh where it’s time to not retire but spend what you have and um and provide it to your your generational your your bloodline um saving yes now the interesting thing about this moment this current sort of value of say $8,000 worth of Bitcoin this is when you should start looking at um the layer one let’s write it in red layer one is uh 800800 800 to $8,000 worth of Bitcoin these sorts of quantities you should be considering this one as well layer one that’s where you can justify spending a bit of it to to store it in in a layer one wallet and and the whole process here is I also recommend you know hardware hardware wallet and you’ve got substantial enough amount of Bitcoin to you should probably be running a node at this point but the al the al the most important piece here that final jump that final milestone between 0.1 and one whole bitcoin um but if if you are just working and saving through life to to to make this jump still we don’t know how long this is going to take and and there could be there’s there’s going to be a slippage what if what if by the time that you get to 0.1 and you’ve got $80,000 you know you’ve now got $80,000 and uh and now a Bitcoin is worth $800,000 as to how long it takes to acquire one whole Bitcoin measure it in time and and the 800,000 goal again it’s not about the quantity that you have it’s about what you want to do with it your individual dreams experiences goals targets business that you want to build maybe you want to build a mining farm I don’t know an off-grid community a citadel um there’s all these sorts of directions but if you can get yourself to one whole Bitcoin you’re going to know wealth and I say wealth as in the ability to afford yourself time in life so that you can explore all the passions and creativity and all of the different things that you want to do in life for example I love to travel i I just want to see the world see all different countries cultures experiences food you name it and um it’s going to cost a lot of money so uh I better start educating lots more people and another piece here about this the um the management of that money we’ve gone from layer two because it’s a small amount of Bitcoin so you don’t want to be paying a high fee to okay I’ve now started accumulating a quantity that justifies securing it say in a hardware wallet um or just store it in a you know store the private key or the words in a piece of metal and whatever your your magical security system is once you start own owning a significant quantity of Bitcoin uh maybe distribute it into several different wallets and and it’s not putting all your eggs in one basket but actually putting your eggs in the same basket but in different places so to speak and uh maybe some multi-IG multi-IG let’s write that in which is uh instead of one private key being able to move the Bitcoin because that’s that’s the power of your private key is the ability to move the Bitcoin if anyone has that access to your key they can move your Bitcoin the power of the private key is the information of it its ability to move the Bitcoin so multi- signature setups is essentially having uh two out of three or four or five or however many different uh private keys that are required to uh all agree to move that same bitcoin and that just provides you security whether you have particular locations or some some other setup or using custodians and banks of Bitcoin banks in the future it’s all down to your uh your wants and needs and desires and risk tolerance and trust if if you do choose to trust other people with securing your money that’s your choice um people are all going to be different and the key thing here is measure these milestones in time not in a quantity of dollars even the quantity of Bitcoin itself is not an objective goal it’s how much time these take uh for you to to to make these jumps let’s write this in multi- sig multi- signature multiple different requirements to uh access the same money this isn’t really a particularly uh niche educational video it’s more just an abstract um progressional progressional video as to how you can preserve your time and energy in a quantity of money and allow you to live the best life that you want to live thank you for listening i hope you enjoy and I’ll see you in the next one goodbye

Everything Trends to ZERO vs. BTC—Except THIS One Thing! | Hashpower Academy



Ditch the fiat goggles! In this game-changer, I measure money, stocks, houses—all trending to ZERO against Bitcoin’s unit of account. Fiat debt money’s a busted ruler, but ONE thing outshines BTC: efficiency & productivity. Bitcoin mining’s assets fade too, yet it yields BTC—rewarding those who master energy and compute abundance.

Video Transcript:

everything trends to zero against Bitcoin except one particular thing What do you think that is well this is going to be the topic of today’s video where we’re going to look at essentially the measurement and quantity of Bitcoin uh to purchase a house stocks fiat currency and the mystery one over here And and basically the reason why this is important is because um right now everyone has their fiat goggles on that you need to remove the dollar measuring stick from your mind because right now that the economy is a bunch of carpenters with a warped measuring stick blaming each other for bad design and uh that that’s the most boiled way to understand all the societal problems of pointing the finger at everything and anyone Um maybe the measuring stick is broken That might be the problem And so what we can look at first is a little interesting insight to there’s a lot of people that made a good amount of money early on with Bitcoin Let’s say they spent early early on they spent a thousand Bitcoin or 100 Bitcoin on buying a property a relatively normal property and they’re happy A house purchase is a necessity if you’re raising a family and you want comfort and ownership I mean the ownership goes back to a government So whether that’s true ownership who knows and basically all these sorts of things where you buy a house for a thousand bitcoin from years ago and then eventually they sell it and go do you know what the one thing I want to hold and benchmark my wealth in is a quantity of bitcoin So they sell it back into bitcoin and now they have only 10% of the original bitcoin in quantity than what they had in the first place And when you benchmark anything to Bitcoin it just continually trends down over time And this is because well Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the decade in reference to stocks So if you compare any stock to Bitcoin it’s going down If you compare any of the other alternative digital assets they’re all going down against Bitcoin And even the top ones like Ethereum and XRP and when I say top ones the the ones that are below Bitcoin they still haven’t made uh new all-time highs against Bitcoin If you look at the Bitcoin to one of these other trading pair uh for for several years and so you get these little hopeful spikes but I’m sorry I don’t there’s no fundamental value And that’s the key thing here If you are new here basically at the hash power academy we teach Bitcoin from the fundamentals first That is going through the energy sector the compute Bitcoin mining aspects and how that produces Bitcoin blocks and issues that full supply of 21 million Bitcoin and that fixed supply unit that absolute scarcity that of engineered money essentially a database of units with a cost to produce These are the most fundamental things as to why Bitcoin is outperforming everyone else because there is continually more energy needed in society There’s continually more computers The difficulty adjustment and network hash rate continually increasing So you got this energy and compute expansion under a planetary scale information system that’s decentralized all around the world Yeah that has true fundamental value And that vertical integration and circular integration with the electrical grids is exactly what we need in society in the 21st century Now so what do you think is the one thing and the one thing only on a Bitcoin unit of account that outperforms Bitcoin which is relevant to today and going into tomorrow what do you think it is well you can hold Bitcoin over time and that is your ownership of a quantity of timeless monetary units or you can accumulate Bitcoin in of itself as a yield Hash power Bitcoin mining is the one thing that can have the potential to outperform Bitcoin if you have efficiency This is most important Efficiency is the name of the game And most importantly even mining machines as the asset itself is trending to zero against Bitcoin But Bitcoin miners are the only ones that can produce Bitcoin So when you combine the asset with the yield you have the potential to outperform Bitcoin over time But you need to understand that mining is an accumulation a yield production of Bitcoin And over time that does diminish So this isn’t a guarantee You need efficiency and good access to power And I do believe that in the future the individual the individual opportunity to mine Bitcoin is going to be at that local level where people vertically integrate their ability to produce their own power run even old mining machines if they have no quote unquote running cost of power if they’ve already purchased the upfront um solar or wind or what whatever it is and those mining machines producing heat for their property locally and that connection to the internet Even if you want to live in the middle of nowhere off-rid I’m sure you want an internet connection or not It’s all up to you This the whole point about Bitcoin is there’s optionality and choice You could just hold Bitcoin and do not not participate in any of this You could run your own nodes store your own blocks You want to be the the the determinator of your own destiny Uh you want some right access that is to produce some compute run a computer and that computer creating heat to keep your house warm And that final piece to integrate all six pieces is to produce your own energy And when people are vertically integrated from energy uh from watts to sats so to speak I believe that is the path where even if the economics of mining were to collapse we’re all we’re all able to produce our own energy produce our own money and trade and transact globally And the best part of this is you could just remove the whole Bitcoin part entirely and go “Oh uh there’s a solar storm The magnet magnetic poles have flipped I don’t care what crazy event that you apply at it.” If you’ve got your own living space where you produce your own energy and can produce your own heat and yes you were connected to money you remove the Bitcoin part and you’re you’re still self sustaining and you have access to goods services resources that you can trade with each other That’s going a bit off the deep end but basically Bitcoin mining is essentially that opportunity to accumulate a greater quantity of Bitcoin over time and with efficiency you can outperform Bitcoin that is the only true fundamental uh intrinsic source to outperform Bitcoin That the participants that add value to the network add more hash rate and energy into the system those are going to be the people that are rewarded with the most Bitcoin because as we all trade and transact Bitcoin we’re paying fees and those fees are being distributed to these people in the network And so essentially Bitcoin over time is this continual redistribution system of you want to trade and transact that information has to be stored somewhere We don’t want one particular person with all the control of that data storage of information money and so it has to be distributed all around the world And that’s why Bitcoin has an energy cost to produce because it forces the decentralization of Bitcoin And so yeah the only thing that can outperform Bitcoin over time and has the potential to be outperform it as a benchmark is to well add energy and compute to the network in an efficient way Thank you for listening I hope you enjoy Um this uh might have been obvious to some people but others might be like “Oh I thought you were going to tell me some random other asset.” No it it’s be efficient be productive and the network rewards you That’s it That is the most timeless quote that you can you can take with you into life If you want more Bitcoin you need to add value to the network Thank you for listening Hope you enjoy Goodbye

Video Transcript:

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 from its fundamentals of energy computing and also the financial aspects of Bitcoin its blockchain and the context of its dollarized price we teach those components last but the overall gist of this video is to fundamentally and 100% prove that Bitcoin is an energy currency how and why and what is the dynamics between these well these worlds this physics and finance well we’re going to look at the electron elasticity of Bitcoin which if you are a physicist or an economist you have your own understanding of the word elasticity but guess what Bitcoin is the circular integration of these two worlds of energy and finance with well computing and cryptography in the middle and this is the piece that actually defines one side of the pricing system the the production side of how much kilowatt hours you can purchase with one bitcoin because in the early days Satoshi Nakamoto didn’t go into a platform and click buy and exchange dollars into Bitcoin did he in fact every single bitcoin has been produced through a quantity of kilowatts kilowatts to Bitcoin is the original exchange rate of Bitcoin and as more hash rate joins the network it raises the difficulty it raises the electrical cost to produce the bitcoin and every h havinging comes along and cuts the rate in which the bitcoin is distributed per energy cost and so you’ve got this continual repricing over time of more energy chasing fewer sats and that’s its pricing system if you’re holding bitcoin it represents a greater quantity of energy to produce your purchasing power so to speak and so this video is going to absolutely fundamentally prove that Bitcoin is an energy currency and what we’re going to look at is well the difficulty right now is 121.51 trillion that’s the difficulty the bar the bar has been set and this constant I’ll still explain in another video but that just boils down uh and multiplies out the difficulty to what the current average twoe looking back hash rate is for the whole network which is 869 xahash and when you multiply that again by 23 that converts the amount of exahash being produced at an average efficiency of 23 jewels per terraash into 20,000 megawatt now if you add an hour to that that’s obviously 20 million boil it down again kilowatt hours and if we look at the 144 blocks per day of 450 Bitcoin in total for the whole day that approximates six blocks at 18.75 this is because subsidy right now is 3.125 Bitcoin per block multiplied by six and you get your 18.75 now for easy numbers we are going to keep it in dollars but the most key thing as well to take away from this video is we can remove the dollar this is going to be the second commodity on a Bitcoin unit of account the first commodity is Bitcoin per virtual bite the very use of sending Bitcoin and paying a fee to store that information data in a block that is the first Bitcoin unit of account component of the network take a breath the second component is that exchange rate at to electricity how and why well because Bitcoin is mathematically connected to electricity because the miners are consuming a quantity of electricity their energy bill which has a dollarized price and they run it through a computer to produce hash rate and capture some of this Bitcoin and so their output quantity of Bitcoin is still mathematically connected in that chain and that has a dollarized price so yes right now we’re managing all these things in a world of dollar premiums but we can strip the dollar away from both components and have a quantity of energy traded to a quantity of Bitcoin and the takeaway for this video looking at the elasticity is well how does that price change because right now we can do the 1.5 million Bitcoin being earned per hour by the network and the 20 million kilowatt hours being consumed so this is the input cost and this is the output revenue rate of an hour and if we divide 1.5 million divided by 20 million you get 0.075 so 7.5 cent of Bitcoin per kilowatt hour so if a if a miner was mining at the large industrial scale and he was consuming energy to earn 7.5 cent a kilowatt hour if the price on the grid went to 10 cents why why would he mine why would he consume the power if he has the ability to demand response and sell the power back to the grid and so that pricing system is is already halfway there where the miners are halfway there in Bitcoin Bitcoin’s second unit of account commodity of electricity but what we’re going to show you here is so I’ve just shown you the the the current rate of the amount of Bitcoin earned per kilowatt hour what would happen if 10% more hash rate comes online what do you think would happen so we’re going to do plus 10% and that would obviously add an extra 20 uh sorry an extra 2 million kilowatt hours at this current revenue rate just keep scribbling these out and writing them back in what do you think would happen so the amount of Bitcoin being earned by the entire network um would get diminished on the producer side but what happens to the consumer side those holding Bitcoin that now your Bitcoin essentially represents an even greater quantity of energy to be exchanged at that rate but it’s not that rate anymore let’s in fact take the scenario that yes 10% more hash rate has come online well this price would be if I have it written down 10% more hash rate so there’s 20 that’ll be dividing the 1.5 million divided by 22 million that’s a smaller number which is where is it 0.068 0.0.68 so more hash rate chasing the fewer bitcoin which means more energy chasing that fewer bitcoin which means the rate the 0.068 068 means that the the the the amount of Bitcoin that an individual miner is earning per kilowatt hour has dropped which means that the price that the miner is willing to sell on the grid has dropped so let me just uh just shatter that theory that Bitcoin is going to take over the world and consume all energy no because the more hash rate that comes online it makes the energy cheaper for the miners to sell and they want to sell the energy because if the miner switches off even a portion of the machine’s energy use underclocking the machine it lowers the jewels per terahash which is increasing the efficiency which reprices his exchange rate for his remaining hash rate online which is to say that Bitcoin has a dynamic elastic pricing system to electricity and the miner will make more money by selling the power so his his computer justifies the capacity to be able to buy power in a contract because he can he has the ability to use the power to export it onto the internet but he will make more money by selling it p to back to the grid and so yeah if more hash rate comes online more miners plugging in using more of the world’s energy it makes the price of energy for consumers cheaper more abundant shall we say and let’s do it the other way around what happens if 10% of the network comes offline let’s say uh 10% of the network we’re we’re in this future world of Bitcoin’s unit of account economics everyone’s living in citadels and consuming power and sharing that power to each other based on their consumption of mining and that available energy on their local citadel grid well if uh 10% of that energy was sold because it’s consumed in the households and 10% of the hash rate came offline um in a twoe average what do you think the price of energy does then so the the system the the planetary system is being priced as less energy chasing fewer sats well what this does is it raises the price to buy the energy so there’s less of a supply of energy available to buy in the system because hash rate is essentially a representation of energy that’s available to be purchased this is what I’m trying to get out here of Bitcoin as an energy currency 08 3 when I first figured this out as a concept goosebumps blew my mind but yeah so when more hash rate comes online the price of energy for you to have to pay for that energy from miners in our Citadel grids of the future gets cheaper more supply of energy in the system more hash rate means more energy supply versus that that amount of uh the price the pricing system on the consumption side is the amount of subsidy and fees per block because that’s what the miner is comparing he’s comparing how much can I earn by exporting the energy to the internet to earn the Bitcoin consuming it how much can I earn selling it locally so the the the global price for energy is what Bitcoin sets through block rewards and this defines a price a price that a local person is willing to sell power in abundance and so yeah we’ve got this uh minus 10% so 10% of the network hash rate has switched off it raises the price for energy for you and so you’ve got this elasticity of an energy price of Bitcoin which is not static it’s dynamic and it’s dynamic to how much energy is available in the system represented as network hash rate because hash rate is just a a projection of the energy available in the system let’s do um the final one of saying well what happens if uh loads of fees rush into the uh consumption side people let’s just say it doubles if uh the amount of if the amount of um uh which number should we use 6 to8 let’s just say that this uh doubles this one doubles so it’s 37.5 bitcoin coin so in an hour miners think they have the potential to earn 37.5 Bitcoin which equals 3 million so now we do the 3 million divided by Which one should we do yeah 3 million divided by the 22 million kilowatt hours we’ve just dollarized to keep it easy how much do you think um how much do you think the the kilowatt hour exchange rate will be if more consumption is in the network miners are recognizing that they can earn more well or double so it’s essentially double this price um because I I’ve this figure I’m going to use it to this one in my numbers which is yeah double literally if if uh I’ll keep it simple whatever the hash rate is whatever the energy is underneath that if the block rewards were to double the energy price doubles which basically means you’ve got this interplay between block rewards defining the the the global price for energy and the miner’s local efficiency setting that that exchange rate price based on that global price so the two key components of this are the miner’s local efficiency and the global price and I see places like um Indonesia anywhere that they have um locationbased limitations that I’m sure all the different thousands of islands they have some form of ability to produce power that now there is the potential that if if there was mining machines on all the little islands consuming energy available on the particular islands it doesn’t make any sense to run power lines between all the islands but if they all consume energy at a global rate they have a global they have a global wireless defined price for energy but it’s all u available at the local level and this is the other thing about Bitcoin mining is this computer that has a global price of energy defined and a justified consumer which justifies the buildout of more production because you’ve got this chicken and egg issue it’s like uh anywhere that you want to build out more energy production uh well you need a consumer if you want if you want to spend the millions to build out energy production you need something that consumes the energy a buyer once one this enterprise costs a lot of money produces a lot of energy this one well still costs a lot of money but converts energy into money and so you’ve got this this duopoly of the energy production side where if you want to build out more civilizational infrastructure in your country it has the ability to have two options of to export that energy locally or globally and all of these pieces create this amazing future where well the more hash rate comes online the more uh purchasing power your Bitcoin has and that this is this is beyond the dollar world because as I said at the start that these are mathematically connected so one of the struggles with trying to understand how we price things in bitcoin if if a quantity of bitcoin is already accounted through mathematics and physics and cryptography to a quantity of electricity the pricing system is already naturally there and what this does is well now you’ve got say electricity priced in Bitcoin well now you can delve into accounting carbon credits on a Bitcoin unit of account you could price oil on a Bitcoin unit of account you could price any other derivation of um producing energy because there’s multiple different layers that you can put underneath electricity and other technology components to produce it i think I’m going to stop there it’s probably a bit of a weird and wonderful topic but yeah Bitcoin is an elastic price of energy based on how much hash rate is online because hash rate online being produced by the proof of producing blocks u and the difficulty adjustment the difficulty adjustment essentially represents the purchasing power of your Bitcoin when difficultyy’s going up your your Bitcoin is gaining more kilowatt hour purchasing power but you’ve also got the component of the efficiency of machines is continually um in decline in the sense that these machines are gaining gaining efficiency by consuming less energy to produce more compute so um Moore’s law is not working against you but um essentially that microchips are continually getting more efficient but they al they’re also hitting chip density limits and uh uh that’s going to be an interesting thing in the future but overall yeah less and less Bitcoin every four years but more and more energy so the in a in a couple hundred years one bitcoin will essentially well even to now I I theorize that one bitcoin has the purchasing power of 10,000 years of a single human’s consumption of energy so yes you could essentially retire your bloodline and there is a way to actually mathematically define what that represents thank you for listening i hope you enjoy this video share it to anyone you think would find this of interest um I’m add I’m going to add it to this sheet that I will be sharing on the channel i hope to see you in the next one like subscribe and I’ll see you goodbye

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the HashPower Academy my name is Jake Scandalan 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 in the context of finance the price where it’s going to go and how it’s going to get there that’s the interesting piece but you may have also heard of the blockchain different alternative currencies trying to uh explore the use of blockchain technology and all other different things now we focus here on Bitcoin but also from its fundamental layers these are the pieces that you may be missing in your understanding as to where Bitcoin is today and going into the future because if you understand Bitcoin from its dollarized price maybe different trading sentiments and the markets and what Black Rockck and all the other different large institutions are doing what Sailor’s doing that’s just the financial tip of the iceberg underneath the water level the Bitcoin blockchain the depths of all the different technical electrical and financial aspects of how Bitcoin works and the incentives of how it all connects together those are the most important pieces to learn why because if you are a trader for example it’s all based on your information if you know what happens tomorrow you can trade today and that’s not to say that these fundamental levels are going to teach you what happens tomorrow well in some sense you know when the hing’s coming but if you understand that the hing is going to double the production cost and you know that the price is going to not really go below production these are the sorts of things that you might not understand if you haven’t learned Bitcoin’s energy and compute fundamentals and these are the sorts of things that we talk about here at the Hash Power Academy the mathematical connection between electricity compute power and a quantity of Bitcoin being produced on the blockchain now if I have lost you already I’m sorry but this is the key thing here it’s boring stuff if you are focused on the financial side of this that think of a hundred people that you may know maybe one of them actually went deep into mining economics and the maths and physics and blockchain and coding and all these other different subject areas of Bitcoin besides finance if a hundred people that you know in the trading group chat for example and I’m sorry if I’ve targeted traders with this talk but oh well hundred of them maybe one of them has some insight into mining and that same analogy carries across to the world that maybe there is truly one in a 100red people that have got into Bitcoin and learned about it in some way now that one in a hundred multiplies out again that say you pick a hundred Bitcoiners of that 1% barely only 1% of them have actually learned about mining and so you got this 1% of the 1% and the deeper you go into these knowledge areas of all the different pieces from finance all the way down to energy these are the bits of where Bitcoin’s going tomorrow so if you care about holding Bitcoin storing Bitcoin saving in Bitcoin loaning against Bitcoin yield uh accumulation strategies like micro strategy um you’re only going to understand those from a fundamentals perspective because everything in this world is based on the fundamentals you get the basic building blocks of knowledge which delves into energy micro grids grid stability which is what Bitcoin miners are doing the microchip uh technology innovation curve that you know the latest phone comes out and it’s more efficient cheaper quicker faster whatever and it makes all the old old phones um less less expensive um you can boil that down to I want a fast computer you go in the shop you want an even faster computer you’re using software you’re doing gaming you want a faster computer but the underlying technology behind even all of our internet of things sort of world all of those different technology areas are also part of Bitcoin the AI conversation comes into this because what currency do you think AI is going to use that if you have some form of AI that wants to communicate with humans through goods services resources and language models as well what currency do you think it’s going to use is natively digital uh machine learning aggregated logic through this sort of neural network of try trying to speak to you and communicate to you as a human but as a system of if then and else and what currency do you think it’s going to use and where do you think it’s going to communicate it do you think it’s just going to communicate with the blockchain and pay people to do different services that the the the AI can’t do itself or do you think that it’s going to also have an integration on the energy side where the the two biggest constraints with AI are yes the sort of models and processing cost required to to run these models but also the general tasks that is required that when you prompt the AI and ask it to do something there is a computer somewhere out there consuming electricity to give you the answer that energy that energy has a cost and right now data centers are going to be quite limited because of the constraints of the electrical grid net zero policies pushing for more renewables and and more sustainable energy sources and they’re inst they’re instable so you’re going to have a consumer of energy on the demand side such as Bitcoin mining which if you delve into the hash power academy you’re going to learn that Bitcoin mining sets a price for electricity in a quantity of Bitcoin now what do you think AIs are going to communicate their need for both uh financial tasks to be paid in Bitcoin but also to seek energy collocation which is you having AI computers and Bitcoin computers consuming the same energy and the Bitcoin mining machines will switch off because they’re just an economic user of the energy they will switch off to sell that power uh to AI services that will pay that higher rate because everyone’s trying to use AI to make uh pictures of artistic art art styles of every image you can think of um there’s there’s endless topics here microchips AI yeah that’s the sort of compute parallels to Bitcoin mining and then you’ve got compute in of itself hash power on the Bitcoin side which is the delving into cryptography and secure communications uh these are all technology areas that they may seem boring to a lot of people but they’re not it’s how the world works it’s how it lives you get in your car you turn the key without even thinking about the combustion engine and how it works and yes we will get to that world where the majority live in that just operator mode of turn the key and push the pedal and and steer the wheel or well in our electrified world we’re not even going to be steering the wheel anymore we push a button and get that extra hour of sitting on the laptop whilst driving around so productivity gains somewhat and networks as well that if you’ve got these Bitcoin miners deploying compute all around the world data centers all around the world there’s an aspect of mesh nets coming in uh Bitcoin citadels where all the different citadels have their own communication systems between each other so our network communication systems get even more decentralized connect to Elon satellites which need more energy it’s all interconnected but if you just learn this piece on top yes you will ride the wave by holding Bitcoin but if you don’t understand the moving parts and the changes and volatility in these areas how are you going to understand what happens tomorrow which if you trade you need more information really and SH 256 is an interesting one because it delves down the quantum direction of things you’ve got these new innovations in just about every direction and if we if if we uh develop computers that can truly crack SH 256 which would be quite impressive because SH 256 is essentially a larger number than there are atoms in the universe and to break that sort of level of encryption uh would be monumental and Bitcoin being cracked so to speak would be the least of problems there’s nuclear codes and half the internet runs on SH 256 and well yeah you need to understand it to to know where it’s going and when the the news headlines come up oh this is going to happen that’s going to happen this is a concern if you don’t have the knowledge how are you going to be able to action your trades sorry traders I keep prioritizing you as an example but yeah learn about Bitcoin learn about the blockchain but go into compute power mining machines and microchips the AI parallel grid stability where these computers can switch on and off and provide power on a Bitcoin unit of account to such things like AI agents that will serve you in every way we hope and as everything else in everything in society you put in your mouth put in the car put in the plane everything depends on energy we have a currency that continually controls and and objectively tries to price itself against energy the the pro dollar and so energy always has a part of the conversation of the inputs to our economy and our society and finance has all the outputs and if you learn all the pieces in the middle you’ll have a lot more information to action your action your trades shall we say so I hope this was an interesting video it went all over the place but this is what we do at the Hash Power Academy in a more specific structural format with other videos delving into the numbers and it will provide you more information that’s all I’m trying to provide here is a wider scope of information to those that might just have a very tunnel vision financial lens to Bitcoin when the energy and compute sectors create this very powerful trifecta that I have shown as a vertical stack thank you for listening i hope you enjoy and I’ll see you in the next one i hope goodbye

Is Bitcoin a Distraction?!? [Send to a Non-BTC Friend] | Hashpower Academy



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 Layers (L1-L3): The Money Revolution Unleashed! | Hashpower Academy

Bitcoin’s Layers (L1-L3): The Money Revolution Unleashed! | Hashpower Academy



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 Tariffs VS Bitcoin Mining! ⛏️ | Hashpower Academy

🚨 Trump Tariffs VS Bitcoin Mining! ⛏️ | Hashpower Academy



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

FCA in ‘CrYpTo’ Warning to Under 35’s | Bitcoin Education



The UK’s broke—energy’s a mess, money’s tight, and the FCA’s freaking out! A Financial Times piece flags millions of under-35s diving into Bitcoin, calling it “risky.” Their fix? A 5-year snooze-fest pushing stocks and bonds—lending your cash to a sinking gov for a slow bleed. I say: Energy Money’s the answer! Bitcoin ties value to watts, not promises, while the UK’s grid rots and net-zero flops. Watch to see why BTC beats the system—and how the FCA’s missing the real crisis!

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 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

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

Bitcoin Mining’s Hidden Power: Energy Arbitrage! #BTCkWh | Hashpower Academy

Bitcoin Mining’s Hidden Power: Energy Arbitrage! #BTCkWh | Hashpower Academy



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

Video Transcript:

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

Hyper-Decentralisation: Will Public Bitcoin Miners COLLAPSE? | Hashpower Academy

Hyper-Decentralisation: Will Public Bitcoin Miners COLLAPSE? | Hashpower Academy



Hyper-Decentralisation: Will Public Bitcoin Miners COLLAPSE?

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

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

Video Transcript:

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

USA vs UK | Bitcoin Strategic Reserve | Hashpower Academy



Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we pit nations against Bitcoin’s might! In “USA vs UK | Bitcoin Strategic Reserve,” we compare the UK and USA’s BTC game—holdings, issuance power, and strategic wins.

What’s Covered:
Holdings: UK owns 0.29% of BTC supply, USA ~1%—small stakes, big stakes.

Issuance Power: UK mines ~0% (no hashpower), USA mines 40%—raking in fees and rewards.

Economic Flow: UK leaks wealth, USA gains—BTC as unit of account reveals all.

Energy Edge: USA’s mining monetizes grids, stabilizes demand—UK misses out.

Defense Play: ASICs as cybersecurity—USA’s grid resilience vs. UK’s lag.

Key Insights:
UK’s loss: Near-zero mining = no BTC inflow, pure leakage.

USA’s win: 40% hashpower = 40% of BTC payouts—economic power.

Grid future: USA’s miners bolster energy and security—UK’s asleep.

Why Watch:
See why USA thrives and UK stumbles in Bitcoin’s world.

Video Transcript:

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

Video Transcript:

hello there and welcome to the hash power Academy my name is Jake scanland I’m the lead educator here at the Academy and this is a place to learn anything to do with Bitcoin and everything to do with Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals this is where we start with all the energy sector side of things electricity converted in Bitcoin miners to produce hash rate which produces Bitcoin blocks and this brings us to the topic of the difficulty adjustment the true test of your Bitcoin knowledge the final exam the litmus test in other places as they refer to it and the difficulty adjustment represents the uh what I like to call dimensional axis uh x y and Zed where they meet in the middle and those different components are what I like to call Energy space and time those are the three key things to understand about the difficulty adjustment even if it’s a bit of a technical thing that you’ve not still wrapped your head around at least understand the three key reasons why we’ll start with time time the the Bitcoin Network wants to regulate the amount of blocks per day per well any period of time it’s trying to create a steady state of 144 blocks per day and that is approximating 10 minutes per block but on the network you can have 20 blocks found in an hour or you could have one block found in an hour but the average across the entire pole of all the miners is reaching a steady state equilibrium at about 10 minutes per block and the network in terms of the code the code is looking back 2016 blocks so if you do 2016 by 144 you get to 14 2 weeks so the network is constantly looking back at the the amount of time it takes for blocks to be found over two we period of what it thinks it’s two weeks two weeks as in 2016 blocks and what is it observing the amount of hash rate producing blocks I hope you’re with me still and the three key reasons are it’s trying to regulate time to 144 blocks per day why because the steady state is that right now the amount of Bitcoin being issued the energy aspect is 450 Bitcoin per day 144 blocks in time per day 450 Bitcoin in terms of energy issuance digital energy per day and space is well every block stores transaction information ones and zeros per day now if 10% more hash rate come online then it’s not going to be 144 that’s going to be plus 10% in terms of that relative period of time the blocks are no longer going to be every 10 minutes they’re going to be approximating every 9 minutes and it’s the same with the amount of Bitcoin that’s going to be 400 that’s going to be 10% more Bitcoin being issued per day relative to that period of time and there’s 10% more block space in terms of uh if there’s more blocks there’s more Bitcoin being issued more space for transactions and um well blocks going to be every 9 minutes so energy data space and time now they all sound like reasonable things oh more more more time to or quicker transaction settlement more Bitcoin being issued and um more space for transactions to be stored energy space and time but those aren’t good things for the reason that well if this was 50% then uh we’d be at 288 blocks per day and it would be 900 Bitcoin per day so the inflation rate would be double and right now the Bitcoin inflation rate annually is it’s approximating 0 uh 78% I believe which is over half that of gold gold tries to average at 2% a year and we’re are the inflation rate of Bitcoin is is over half of that so if the network was to double in this example double in size which isn’t going to happen overnight we we don’t think and that’s going to be 50% as well well it would be uh those blocks would be found in a week at twice the amount of blocks per day it would be 10 minutes per block and twice as much Bitcoin and the inflation rate in that relative time would double and we don’t want to increase the inflation of the scarce hard digital money and it’s the same where there’ be twice as much block space so what happens is the node storing all that data would be on an accelerated without the difficulty adjustment the nodes would have to have twice as much storage space and they are volunteers nodes are volunteers they are not uh being paid for what they do and we don’t want to impose more storage costs at a quicker rate than they already know what the rate of the the Bitcoin network uh data size is growing at we don’t want to impose more cost on the volunteers that keep Bitcoin digitally decentralized now uh on the issuance inflation side of things we don’t want to inflate Bitcoin at a higher rate it’s already got the lowest inflation rate across all of the different monetary assets or Monet monetary Metals should we say um and yeah we don’t want to make blocks any less than 10 minutes because it’s a synchronization issue if uh a Bitcoin miner finds the block he screams out to the network I found a block here is my proof my proof of work he found the the the uh the correct amount of zeros and yeah well if it’s every five minutes there is more of a problem that not everyone’s going to get out that information um at the right the synchronization issues basically and so the difficulty adjustment is constraining uh the amount of energy issuance compute space that’s available by constraining time and so it’s this uh invention of time and why the difficulty adjustment has to constrain time is uh we’re not using the Bitcoin code doesn’t just randomly pull an API and go oh hey random website what’s the price or uh even an atomic clock the system is designed to not trust any one thing when it comes to decentralizing the issuant power hash rate distributed to all the Bitcoin miners all around the planet it’s constraining um energy as in the amount of issuance of the money and the block space if we have small blocks and uh a constrained amount of pace between each block if if blocks are found faster the fees on the on the fee rates will will drop but that fee rate keeps Bitcoin um the economics of using the fee Market competitive for the reasons that it subsidy inevitably drops out into Oblivion to zero and the amount of fees is going to become that Natural Market of buyers on the other side and they are in reference paying for the security of multiple gws an entire country’s worth of energy and compute protecting their transaction integrity and so the difficulty adjustment truly represents that that that point of energy space and time being regulated at the rate of energy ISS issuance data Space by time and the the pace of blocks being found all constrained together and it works by continually every block that’s found uh is time stamped the amount of time between each block is timestamped and so the so the the issuance of who is submitting what the time is on the network is uh is is recorded essentially and so that that gap of time between each each block is measured over the the previous two weeks approximately or 2016 blocks so if those 2016 blocks are found in quicker than 2 weeks the network adjusts it to to realign it back to every 10 minutes so it’s all this interplay of dimensions of energy space and time but what it does is it constrains the money to not be issued too quickly the storage space doesn’t collapse the price of the fee Market which is the competitive side of uh consumption on the Bitcoin blockchain and it all does it by by regulating time and essentially Bitcoin is a decentralized clock because it’s it’s not pulling the time from one particular place it’s not trusting any one particular person it’s sourcing the time from all the different uh people that have have captured their their share of the block rewards by finding a block and submitting time in the process so it’s uh yeah it’s quite a lot and um but it’s fundamental but it gets better it gets a lot better so when you circulate the system the blockchain and the difficulty adjustment creates uh a Time the the Bitcoin blocks being regulated in time so that the pace of issuance and data storage space and energy are all constrained together it forms pricing system so the conversion efficiency of Bitcoin miners the uh data market of how much Bitcoin for per storage space that you’re paying for and both of these two components create a new pricing system system for Bitcoin against energy and it’s actually very circular so we produce energy on electrical grids consume it in homes and Bitcoin miners who convert that into hash rate which export that energy onto the internet to produce hash power which adds the Bitcoin blocks which to this discussion that constraint of energy space and time ensures that the blockchain has the right amount of time of between blocks the right amount of issuance of Bitcoin so it’s not too fast not too slow and uh and that competitive fee Market aspect thing of storage space we don’t want to impose costs on the nodes they are the volunteers of the network we want as many nodes as possible so I recommend you uh get some uh large multi-terabyte ssds and uh and and save your own copy and version of the uh of the Bitcoin blockchain and so yeah Bitcoin creates this digital side of things of an energy space and time sort dimensional axis and the Bitcoin code uh keeps the regulation of all of this but it’s not in one single place again we’re not trusting one single place it’s distributed and copied across every single person running their own node and essentially um Bitcoin miners are energy nodes Bitcoin wallets are economic nodes and uh someone that has a full copy of the the file they are space nodes or something like that and uh yeah so there I hope this was an interesting video I’m going to do more sort of uh trying to break down the more technical side of things but the the difficulty adjustment is uh is quite a knot to crack as they say I hope you enjoyed this video like subscribe share drop anything in the comments I’ll probably do another difficulty adjustment video because um yes continually seeking to improve uh Kaizen as they like to say goodbye

IS Bitcoin the Key to Your Wealth?

IS Bitcoin the Key to Your Wealth?



Are you a consumer or a producer? Consumers spend money, producers create value. In today’s world of overconsumption—driven by fiat money that’s easy to print—it’s more important than ever to be productive and build things others want.

This video explores how Bitcoin aligns with real-world value creation, like farming or engineering, by tying money to energy and technology. Unlike fiat, Bitcoin can’t be printed endlessly—it’s a fixed-supply system based on proof of work.

This is HashPower Academy—where we break down how Bitcoin works and why it matters. Like, subscribe, and drop your questions in the comments!

Video Transcript:

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

BTC Buying VS Mining VS MicroStrategy | Bitcoin Education | Hashpower Academy

BTC Buying VS Mining VS MicroStrategy | Bitcoin Education | Hashpower Academy



Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we weigh your Bitcoin options!
In “Buying VS Mining VS MicroStrategy,” we compare buying 1 BTC (₿), 1 BTC’s worth of mining machines (#), and 1 BTC’s worth of MSTR ($) shares—stacking them against BTC as the ultimate unit of account.
What’s Covered:

Buying 1 BTC: 2M BTC left on exchanges—shrinking YoY.

Mining 1 BTC’s Worth: Fee-free BTC via OPEX electric bills, tax-deductible CAPEX hardware.

“Mining is an opportunity to accumulate a greater quantity of BTC over time than buying”

MSTR Shares (1 BTC’s Worth): ~50% BTC per share—options, converts, equity stack more BTC with fiat gains.

BTC Benchmark: Price-to-NAV and MSTR’s BTC yield dissected.

Key Insights:
Buying: Simple, but supply’s tight—2M and dropping.

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 this is a place to learn anything about Bitcoin and everything about Bitcoin starting with the fundamentals here at the Academy we go to the energy side of things first then the compute Bitcoin mining aspects which consumes that electricity to produce hash rate and that hash rate is seeking to find that next block in the chain and capture some of that 450 Bitcoin that right now is distributed to the entire network and as more energy and more compute expands under that amount of Bitcoin is issued per day it reprices Bitcoin not just against dollars but also energy and compute so these are the sorts of things you can learn at hash power Academy today’s topic is buying versus mining versus micro strategy three different paths to the same destination and that is to say that one Bitcoin right now is a Tim form of monetary unit stored on a blockchain defended by energy and compute and so all of this expansiveness of these sectors of the Bitcoin industry so to speak uh are continually increasing your purchasing power what do I mean by that well one Bitcoin does not equal one Bitcoin why because that is a self circular argument which doesn’t make sense if the network average production cost for Bitcoin that is the exchange rate from electricity into Bitcoin through Bitcoin mining is $50,000 uh of energy per Bitcoin at a 5cent electrical rate divide one by the other that is 1 million kilowatt hours per Bitcoin isn’t that a different way to S to see it that is a pricing system of energy on a Bitcoin unit of account these are the sorts of things that we discuss here at the Academy but but on today’s topic of buying Mining and micro strategy so we have x-axis time over time and the y- axis one Bitcoin now there’s about 2 million Bitcoin on exchanges so buying right now is well a lot of that Bitcoin will be in collateral in custody some people trading it and uh that is quite low now because of the full 21 million Supply to million of it being on the exchanges that’s that has continually dropped over time and with more people seeking to cold storage and protect their Bitcoin from any potential uh risks that is the one comparison we can make to begin with that with buying it’s completely economically Sovereign but with mining if you don’t have the access to cheap electricity that computer you’re probably going to be sending to a host so there is a trust element there and micro strategy they are holding the Bitcoin on your behalf another trust strategy so the first comparison is uh the lowest lowest risk in the context of losing it all so to speak is if you buy and hold your own Bitcoin you have that security mechanism there but Mining and micro strategy those can have different risk and so in terms of Timeless reward we have the direct unit of account of of The Benchmark so to speak to compare to Mining and micro strategy so the question here if you were mining Bitcoin and you purchased one bitcoin’s worth of mining machines well you would start with zero Bitcoin meaning that you haven’t mined any yet and so at the start here you’ve purchased your machines with your one Bitcoin what is your goal you’re trying to mine more than a whole Bitcoin the objective goal of mining is to accumulate more Bitcoin over time than what you could have purchased in the first place so if I spent a Bitcoin on buying Hardware I want to produce consider this the Bitcoin yield I want to produce inevitably more Bitcoin than what I could have purchased in the first place and that’s why people mind you buy machines to produce Bitcoin at a lower rate priced Against the Machines and the depreciation there and so there’s a few things there when it comes to mining you’ve got the depreciation of the machine uh the tax deductible nature of that and potentially the electricity as well and you’re producing Bitcoin as a yield so you’re not depending on accumulating Bitcoin from an exchange because you are the producer of the Bitcoin and the second part to that is um mining has the benefit of electrical bills allowing you to buy Bitcoin without fees this is to say that you either pay the electrical bill with dollars which essentially is keeping the Bitcoin you’ve mind or you’re selling some of that Bitcoin to pay the electricity and so you your your dual option is there is pay with extra dollars to effectively buy the Bitcoin you’ve already mined or sell Bitcoin which is you’re trying to accumulate Bitcoin so you wouldn’t want to sell it so you would use additional dollars and so you essentially have this opportunity with mining to buy Bitcoin without fee so that’s an interesting comparison there and when it comes to micro strategy uh you’re buying dollarized shares that have a certain amount of Bitcoin per share so let’s just chart that here in Orange so let’s just show it as a bar um let’s just show it here with M so you’ve got one bitcoin’s worth of micr strategy shares how much Bitcoin per share is that backed by now the the share price to the nav the underlying Bitcoin amount is about one two 3 four five it’s about 50% so there’s about 50% of your micr Strat shares is is a quantity of Bitcoin now what they do is they have options and converts and equity and all these different weird and wonderful things that micro strategy are doing so you have the dollarized amount but that’s continually fluctuating so you have the potential for the shares to increase relative to their underlying Bitcoin reserves or decrease who knows and slowly and incrementally over time the amount of Bitcoin per share is increasing in which raises let’s just say it does we don’t know how much Bitcoin they’re going to be able to accumulate remember there’s 2 million on exchanges maybe they have Partnerships with large scale Bitcoin miners or huge OTC Deals Deals with sellers at certain prices um but large institutional buyers and sellers they want to do everything off of the order book of exchanges uh in private shall we say but the same sort of risk approach here is this if you buy a Bitcoin over time you’ve got a Bitcoin if you put it in a platform and Loan against it you could lose it if you put it in some form of yield producing thing you could lose it there’s there’s it’s it’s all risk and reward but the overall approach here is this that um Bitcoin is the unit of account your benchmark for this you hold one Bitcoin over time it doesn’t change mining as I said is this you you convert your Bitcoin into buying machines or even half of it it and keep the other half of paying electrical bills that’s another approach and so you got this Benchmark of starting at zero Bitcoin Min uh you’ll produce the most amount of Bitcoin in the first few months because uh continually the Network’s expanding the compute is expanding and the amount of Bitcoin uh in blocks stays relatively the same when the majority of Bitcoin that people are mining is subsidy so if there’s a constrained amount of network revenue and network hash rate and network energy are continually expanding underneath uh then miners with the difficulty adjustment are continually getting less Bitcoin per terahash or ex aash per day so diminishing returns basically so the the slope of how much Bitcoin per per day you’re going to mine the quantity decreases but the price may go up because this is all in a Bitcoin unit of account not in dollars I’ve shown a fluctuation of the potential for micro strategy shares because their dollar and their dollar converting uh Fiat yield into more Bitcoin per share and so how much how steep this climb is we don’t know and how how much this outperforms Bitcoin who knows but the overall understanding here is you’ve got this timelessness of Bitcoin in of itself which we recommend and um mining is that approach that if you want a tax deduction to buy some Bitcoin without fees and produce Bitcoin at production cost as a yield you also get a free transaction in a sense because when you uh plug into a mining pool you mine up to a certain amount and then they’ll let you Auto withdraw it without a fee typically so if you just want the the the mining rewards to just Auto deposit to your cold storage um you’re getting essentially a a free transaction ATT deduction and buy Bitcoin without fees I’m a biased thing about mining I’ve got some bias when it comes to mining but uh those are some really good benefits um but you got to understand the efficiency in the mining economics things um but buying buying is good um but it’s going to get more and more scarce on exchanges as more people pull Bitcoin off exchanges I do see a point where the amount on exchanges drops below the amount that’s remaining to mine uh on the micro strategy side of things they’ve got a lot of Bitcoin they’ve got over half a million approximately of the full 21 million Supply so on the on the on the side of things that we explained here with the energy sector expanding compute and all the other different pieces when you own bit a quantity of Bitcoin you have a uh a comp you have a stake in the growth of the entire network because Bitcoin is the the units on the database defended by a compute defended by energy and all the different aspects of say the heating side of things which has the potential to uh I’ve been thinking this recently actually that if uh a lot of people uh adopt or adopt a lot of people purchase Bitcoin mining electric heaters um they are not strictly economic miners that they’re not trying to buy $50,000 electricity to produce an $80,000 Bitcoin they are just mining to produce heat and subsidize some of that cost so the amount they can produce is less than uh than the amount of Bitcoin they earn is less than their energy bill and so they’re not mining uh economically it’s just it’s for a secondary use of that heat but subsidized energy costs because you’re producing Bitcoin in the process and if enough people did that it would demonetize uh the entire mining industry that’s on the profit side of things the public Miners and uh they they a lot of them are diluting their shareholders continually which is not what we like but on the buying side of things if if balance on exchanges was to decline to something really really low um you’ve got exchangers taking risks at that point because they are constantly managing an inflow of Bitcoin from different sources that might be a problem and they’re constantly managing an outflow of Bitcoin uh customer withdrawals people wanting to store their Bitcoin there is a lot of people that just deposit in some dollars or or stable coin and immediately withdraw Bitcoin and that is their exchange experience and exchanges continually in decline of Bitcoin reserves uh they might take more risk or or more other alternative coins taking uh taking risks in that department as well and the risks on the micro strategy side of things are well how much how much longer can they do how much can they conate this uh conversion of high volatility into different um products markets and services relative to bitcoin and that’s this is they’re going to have a lot of competition in this space in terms of all different Financial firms namely Black Rock as well and they’re all going to try and offer anything and everything for you to give them your Bitcoin and and give some form of benefits and loaning against Bitcoin all those sorts of things are going to be available but uh the volatility uh is going to shake out a lot of people and the risks that that they are customing the Bitcoin for you so that is a significant risk in of itself I think I’ll leave it there um but yes there’s potential with these two to create more reward than just buying Bitcoin but with different sorts of risks from both sides I think with mining side of things um you get the education if you if you you start with getting a little bitx mini Miner that’s like stage one um if you want to go further than that get a hosted mining machine that would be like stage two and if you want to mine yourself because you got a decent enough electrical rate uh that would be stage three and and you can learn all those things at the hash power Academy on the buying side of things yeah the the the ability to buy Bitcoin has always been there uh here at the Academy we can teach you about the exchange rate between electricity and Bitcoin which is going to come in the future uh it’ll be the second unit of account economics Dynamic that Bitcoin has the first one is with uh block space and uh with micro strategy it’s really going to be interesting to see the different products Market services that they they bring out right I think I’ll leave it there so 3 in the morning it’s where I get my best work done and uh I will see you in the next video like subscribe all that fun stuff and I will see you goodbye
