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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Finance, policy, energy—BTC’s reshaping nations now!

Join Hashpower Academy to unpack USA vs UK in Bitcoin’s arena—watch now and spot the stakes!

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!

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

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

Video Transcript:

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

Video Transcript:

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

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

Video Transcript:

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

How Subsidy changes the VALUE of your Bitcoin?! | Hashpower Academy

How Subsidy changes the VALUE of your Bitcoin?! | Hashpower Academy



Welcome to Hashpower Academy, where we unpack Bitcoin’s value shifts. In “How Subsidy Changes the VALUE of Your Bitcoin?!,” we dive into subsidies, fees, and what pumps your BTC’s worth.

What’s Covered:

Subsidy basics: Block rewards price against miners energy and hashrate.

Halving effect: Every 4 years, energy reprices—BTC buying power jumps.

Fees rising: Data storage in blocks drives fees, not BTC amount.

Fee takeover: When subsidies fade, fees rule the game.

Fee surges: Quantum wallet shifts could spike activity big-time.

Key Insights:
Energy link: Halvings cut subsidy, hike BTC’s energy value.

Fee shift: Data size matters—more bytes, more fees.

Quantum push: Moving to secure wallets = fee market boom.

Miner pivot: From subsidy cash to fee-driven future.

Why Watch:
See how halvings juice your Bitcoin’s power.

Prep for the fee era—and quantum’s wild ride.

Video Transcript:

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

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