Agree. Sound money cant exist without some cost to the world. However, worth some napkin ChatGPTing to compare.
Bitcoin total energy use and ASICs was ballparked around $7-13B annually.
A price of $75/Oz for 600 million Oz of silver per year use in industry is $45B.
A price of $4500/oz for 10 million oz of gold per year use in industry is $45B as well.
Costs to mine Gold and silver are ~$150B and $20B annually.
Also this is not considering some percentage of bitcoin mining is done on energy that does not compete very directly with the broader market (renewables generating excess).

I agree with that at federal levels but not at local levels. My town's government works admirably with a small budget. Builds what they need to build. Polices reasonably. Legitimately listens to you if you speak to legislators.
The larger the scale of government. The more distant the Representative is from you. The more frought with debt and ineffective policy they tend to be.

Naturally, you guys will need to do more than just trust me, but I'm allegedly their first Bitcoin donation.
Ive encouraged them to look into it further and suggested they reach out to HRF to see if they could help.
Maybe a few minutes of education could go a long way here. We should try. https://image.nostr.build/05f7723475f752923f2975d0a74d17fcac8a8d5c31dd7decf990f0ea3cc4c4b3.jpg

This was unclear to me. It says crypto that is backed by real assets. Would they mean for that to allow for bitcoin or not? Sure, some may view bitcoin as backed by energy, but you could certainly see a government not interpreting it that way.

Yes but having more willing buyers of your debt makes it much more affordable than if they weren't there.

I don't understand this as common advice for bitcoiners. There are so few in the world, if they all avoid people who don't understand it, they will form a small echo chamber.
Seems so ideologically weak and timid. Go be with socialists and state-lovers. Test your ideas. Steelman theirs.

I hope monero finds success, and think it can hold a place for itself in the long term, particularly if market demand for privacy grows and future bitcoin solutions fail to fill the gap.

Because nobody uses them. Running a node for these at high adoption levels would be a problem for plebs. Monero seems to offer potential utility in privacy but the doge tradeoff is one of a million coins centralizing node control for txn throughput.

Ever done your bitcoin escapades in Vietnam? Just got back from a work trip to HCMC. Didnt have any time to try but it does look like there are some services to buy and sell in the city.
Seems like a city hungry for freedom under a government that will eventually clamp down on bitcoin once it eventually grows to have the resources.

Lyn has also pointed out (can't find the tweet) that folks like us love to question government data when it doesnt fit our narratives but embrace it when it does.
Between that and reading a lot more Jeremy, I simultaneously hold the beliefs that its not as bad for millenials as we portray to one another online, but also, centralized ledgers are bad and things should be much better. https://image.nostr.build/d4c8d9d7f60bd2e4170b23f14e3767fb00086b32a8b13d56fefc6e02a95b9652.jpg

I'm wondering if government panic while they lose more control is imminent as well.
Why shouldn't we think there won't be another 6102 for a number of assets, including bitcoin?
