A hack is different in my view from proceeds of crime - I should have clarified. Hacked funds should be returned, but proceeds of crime (eg Silk Road) are better off being held on to in Bitcoin than being sold off like Germany did

You're going to get to a state where countries realize they're bankrupt. And that point is dangerous for honeypot like ETFs. This is a non-counter party risk asset, until you introduce counter party risk.
Your government today preys on you; it's extractive: inflation = wage deflation. If your money is in someone else's honey pot, the rules will change for it. So self custody your Bitcoin!

Fire prevention tip: buy natural furniture (wood, cotton, wool etc) over synthetics to keep your family safer. It takes 7x longer for a room to reach flashover (all combustible materials in the room ignite), which means more time to escape & firefighters are more likely to respond to the fire before the house burns down
Natural = Bitcoin furniture
Synthetic = fiat furniture

Yes, natural is more expensive new, but it's much safer & you can find lovely pieces second hand. This video comparison of room fires is enlightening

Bitcoin mining water critics are not doing the math right when it comes to water use for 3 reasons, a🧵👇🏼
For context, critics assume the following:
1. Identify the electricity grid mix for each mining jurisdiction
2. Apply the water impact of each energy source (eg nuclear, hydro)
3. Apply 👆🏼 proportionally to how much ⚡️ bitcoin consumes
4. Estimate a per tx water use
Let's examine why their assumptions are problematic...
1. Direct vs indirect water use
The biggest issue is they assume direct water use by miners when it's indirect (ie electricity generator water use). This is an important distinction so let's look at an analogy:
When we look at carbon, we estimate direct (scope 1) & indirect (scope 2 & 3) CO2 emissions. Steel, cement, pulp mills report direct carbon emissions under cap & trade. The ⚡️ generator does too so there's no double counting. But mining critics attribute power emissions to miners!
It's the same wrt direct vs indirect water use: think farms, pulp mills, textile mills using water directly, vs power plants that make the power they use
https://image.nostr.build/e64e7b3609da4f9af545bcbe6b78c5da1ab6c6e712f812b2197f49f48edfaac9.jpg
A miner w/ *direct* water use would employ:
- Evaporative cooling
- Hydro cooling
Thus 👆🏼 direct use is what the critics should estimate (note, these water cooling methods are not prevalent vs air cooled or immersion)
The water use from a power plant powering miners is not the same as the water used directly at a mining facility, in the same way that the water used by a Nestle bottle plant does not have the same indirect water impact from Nestles electrical consumption!
2. Inaccurate grid & country mix
Water critics assume miners are representative of the grid mix in their jurisdiction. But we know miners employ energy strategies to lower power costs - ie many projects co-locate w/ renewables or use stranded power. Further, the country mining stats critics use are out of date. Mining is extremely mobile & China & Kazakhstan play a much lower role than before.
https://image.nostr.build/561eb90e3712a24e5a84b5eb9d23b834a16c2741eeb1aeb9540eb6b98daef94b.jpg
Read more in the recent study from mining experts: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4634256
ALSO, let's say critics stick to ⚡️related water use. If they were fair, they'd consider the water use that's OFFSET from heat recovery applications in district, industrial & farm heating bc the heat energy offset would have had a water impact too! But they don't
3. Per transaction water use
Water critics assume the same fallacy when they say 1 tx uses the equiv amount of energy as a swimming pool, as when they assume 1 tx consumes a month's worth of household electricity use. "Per tx" is the wrong model & industry experts wrote great rebuttals wrt energy that are applicable to water:
1. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/03/05/the-frustrating-maddening-all-consuming-bitcoin-energy-debate/
2. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitcoin-energy-per-transaction-metric-is-misleading
Overall, critics aren't playing fair w/ the numbers & their math is off. A final thought to leave you with: Bitcoin miner heat recovery desalination projects are feasible - what will water critics say when they go live?

Ben, a rugged oilman in his 30s, is struggling to keep his oil operation afloat. The business, inherited from his father, is the backbone of the community, but it's on the brink of collapse due to years of financial strain.
Enter Emily, a sharp and sophisticated executive from the "big city". Undercover, she's scouting for potential land for her company's Bitcoin mining operation. Her target: the very land Ben is fighting to preserve. Their worlds collide when they meet under Emily's guise as a lost horseback rider on Ben's land.
As Jake and Emily spend more time together, sparks fly amidst the backdrop of the charming rural landscape and cute townsfolk. Emily, enchanted by the town's simplicity and Ben's genuine nature, finds herself torn between her mission and her growing feelings. The duo embarks on quintessential small-town dates, the highlight being a romantic sunset horseback ride on Ben's ranch, offering her a glimpse into a life vastly different from her own.
Their budding romance faces a huge hurdle when Ben accidentally overhears Emily's conversation with her bosses about their plan for his land. Feeling betrayed, he confronts her, leading to a heated argument. Unable to reconcile her professional obligations with her personal feelings, Emily returns to the city with a heavy heart.
Back at her company headquarters, Emily uncovers her company's plans to aggressively pursue the foreclosure of Ben's land. This revelation, combined with her growing disillusionment with corporate life (especially compared to small town charms), leads to an epiphany: her true happiness (and heart) lies not in the corporate world but in the small town she left behind!
Determined to right her wrongs, Emily returns to the small town to apologize to Ben. Together, they devise a plan to integrate flare gas Bitcoin mining into the oil operation, and presenting a new, sustainable business model to the local bank. Their proposal is well-received, breathing new life into Ben's business, and stave off a potential foreclosure.
In a bold move, Emily quits her job, choosing to start a new life and a new Bitcoin mining business with Ben. The end 🧡

AI Faceoff: Mushroom ID edition. I ran ChatGPT4 (paid version) & Google lens (free) to see how they fared. Google appears to be better at showing similar results & correctly IDing mushrooms - it got every 🍄 of the 5 I ran correct (in this set). ChatGPT4 especially had trouble with bolettes. ChatGPT4 does allow for multiple picture uploads, which is a helpful feature if it improves IDing.
Thought foragers may be curious & its a useful tool if you want to double check - I found it useful to compare pictures with what I found & especially to see if there are any similar toxic ones & how to avoid them. AI tests 👇🏼

We live in a world where you're born into a country & that's the money you use
It's like a casino, where you get given chips that you can only use at that casino; & the casino next door has its own chips. This cannot be the best system 🎰

Carbon emissions from Bitcoin mining's grid mix are not cut & dry
Better data will shake things up - eg 👇🏼 - & further studies are needed on heat recovery & methane capture & combusion

At the ER I learned they no longer put the lead over your organs when taking xrays because:
- the exposure is minimal
- the lead may bounce more radiation into your body?? Wat
- digital xrays don't need as strong radiation
