now I love examples like this this is
the price of a home in US Dollars versus
Bitcoin and as you can see in dollars
the price of the property has almost
doubled so if you were holding dollars
now the house is more expensive but if
you are holding Bitcoin now the home is
10 times cheaper why is this well it’s
because Bitcoin as an asset outperforms
everything else because it’s fixed in
Supply properties can can be produced
you can build them you can build more
which is a selling pressure in the
housing market so if bitcoin’s fixed in
Supply and houses can be produced the
other part of this is money fiat
currency Fiat is infinitely printed so
there’s more money in the system chasing
the same amount of fixed Supply Bitcoin
or properties and so the prices go up
but the value of Bitcoin stays
consistent because it’s outperforming
everything else so everything else gets
cheaper in Bitcoin and

This is the price of Bitcoin over the last few years and this is the production cost of bitcoin over the last few years as a network average now here’s the thing to understand about why Bitcoin goes parabolic in price well the short answer can be explained with fiat

Currency fiat currency is an infinite amount of printed monetary units inflating to chase a scarce amount of goods and services at any given time that means that more money is chasing fewer Goods the prices go up and the money is going down Bitcoin does this the other way around the monetary units

Are scarce and the energy the mining the production to chase those monetary units is continually going up as the production cost shows and so it’s an infinite amount of energy chasing a scarce amount of monetary units Infinity over 21 million Bitcoin

So the other week I went to Mexico City where they have a place called the Bitcoin embassy it’s a bar and they sell food and you can pay in Bitcoin and the one thing I’d like to convey to anyone that has an interest in the world of

Bitcoin and has essentially grown up on the internet that it is very important to truly connect in the physical world as well to other people that have like-minded interests it’s a very good way to have a good refresh away from the digital world and place like this are a

Call it good excuse to have a drink and enjoy so that’s my recommendation for the day

One of the concerns people have had before about Bitcoin mining is that how can you have an income stream that is random that you produce blocks randomly based on for example if you are mining with 1% of the Network’s hash rate you will earn approximately 1% of the blocks

Of Bitcoin but the struggle there is well how much money do you know you’re going to earn but the same analogy can be brought across to any other industry farming does the farmer know exactly how much he’s going to grow that year or does he put all of the time and energy

In preparing his field and the growth and the connection to the sun and the fertilizer and the efficiency of his Machinery it’s the exact same thing with Bitcoin mining it’s the best way to understand it is Bitcoin or bitco and that’s the same for if you

Open a business you don’t know how many customers are going to come in the door you can just sort of throw out an estimate and hope for the best

So this is my favorite graphic that I created to help people understand that Bitcoin has many moving Parts but it can be easily understood as a circular energy economy that it has six core Parts the production of energy the energy on the grids the demand for energy to produce compute power and that

Compute power finds the next block in the chain and the Bitcoin blockchain is specifically unique not because it’s just a blockchain chain and it’s a silly keyword that’s thrown around a lot but the blockchain is only updated with energy and that is really important because what do we store in these blocks

We store data and that data is Bitcoin and all of the transactions that are made in Bitcoin so the issuance of new Bitcoin and the settlement of existing trade and it’s only settled and it’s only updated through the physical world of energy which democratizes the control of the system the

There is no Bitcoin, without the expenditure of energy in the physical world.

So here’s something interesting HSBC have launched a digital gold token that is a digital asset which is an IOU that references a fractional amount of ownership of gold stored in a vault but here’s the problem how do you know and how can you trust they have the actual

Gold stored in a vault somewhere there is no way of intrinsically connecting the physical asset in the real world to the digital coin or commodity in the digital world but there is two Commodities out there that do have a physical asset or energy that is referenced in digital form with a direct

Intrinsic connection between the two bridging Both Worlds that answer is Hash power and Bitcoin are digital Commodities that are intrinsically connected to the physical world of energy through the computational timestamps of producing the next block in the chain

Question why is Bitcoin a $1.4 trillion asset well that takes an external comparison of the market cap of Bitcoin versus other assets it’s currently in ninth place and it’s overtaking silver that’s quite insanee now the way I understand Bitcoin is like a tree it’s digital mother nature and we can compare

The external value of Bitcoin but Bitcoin has an internal value mechanism that is the production of energy the production of compute power and the production of Bitcoin all circulating as a circular economy just like Nature has some form of energy source some technological computation to produce trees and the fruit of those lovely

Solar Punk the progression of technology and the environment hand inand it’s something that I believe that Bitcoin mining would be extremely valuable for in the concept of trading and conducting trade with energy resources let me explain in our economy 50% of every trade and transaction is money so in a

Solar Punk world how would this work we all live decentralized and locally and collectively grow things together so what do we price our produce in we need local markets local economies but at a global scale Bitcoin is the perfect system for this you can store your excess resources in Bitcoin through

Trade or you can store your excess energy resources through mining it doesn’t matter where I plug the same machine in anywhere on the planet it produces the exact same amount of Bitcoin for the same amount of energy input so we bring about a world of global decentralized pricing where we

Can all live in harmony

Did you know that Bitcoin mining is 95% subsidized that is that we have blocks of Bitcoin being mined where 95% of it is new Bitcoin in issuance and 5% from transaction fees of existing Bitcoin in circulation what this does is transitionally over time we cut the

Blocks of new Bitcoin in half and the transaction fees begin to increase through adoption and that transition is going to take place over the next 100 plus years
