In the new millennium, economic and political life will no longer be organized on a gigantic scale under the domination of the nation-state as it was during the modern centuries.
The civilization that brought you World War, the assembly line, social security, income tax, deodorant, and the toaster oven is dying.
Deodorant and the toaster over may survive.
The others won't.

The vibe I’m getting is that the best way to support #bitcoin isn’t to spend it at all, rather just buy and hold, use credit cards and pay off living expenses with your stack, repeat. If a bitcoin payment option was provided to make a big ticket purchase 100,000k sats or more, would you pay in BTC or use a credit card option? #asknostr

As the solar mining season comes to a close, the winter heating season begins and the miners are needed for heat in the house. \nhttps://i.nostr.build/ljzw.jpg\nhttps://i.nostr.build/62zVWJugBq1orQy5.jpg\nThe system was expanded to its maximum production potential with the existing inverter, and charge controllers. This allows for full utilization of the equipment for Bitcoin mining which fast tracking the return on investment. Since installing the equipment, Bitcoin mining has already recoupped 25 percent of the total cost. (There is a 30 percent tax refund/credit whatever the fuck too)\nhttps://i.nostr.build/qVD6Ip0g9Ow4Zbzx.jpg\nhttps://i.nostr.build/zfLuOfO0AxmfEUBa.jpg\nIt's a totally different story when denominating the expenses in Bitcoin (that's true of anything). The goal was to increase resilience and balance forms of capital. It's impossible to know when a extended power outage might occur and this solar power setup is enough to keep my essential loads running, plus I already had the miners to utilize the power in the meantime. Now, the system is completely installed, and I'm familiar with it's operations and repairs. After the power is out it's too late, and I'll wish I already had the system instead of Bitcoin anyway. \n#permaculture #permies #homesteading #meshtadel #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #plebminer #offgrid #solarpower #resilience \nnostr:nevent1qqspfzer95lcdjd6rr4zr64sm7adgmpk96h4pg3d4d6jz83nvsrpvagpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygzdqg7wnh7htflnqadcarsggqytu9ap7agvvw6auus7dmug8tw8v5psgqqqqqqseuash3","sig":"da1ffa7b8c92fc13436d631cad4453067796ee0ea36bbfae58d11ac035491bc85a1990389ae943a0dced390d67e06f815c26b731be7f3393060a299be52edacf"}
