It looks like China is again looking to "ban" bitcoin mining.
A lot has changed since they banned mining in 2021.
In 2021, network hashrate was ~160 EH/s. Today, there is ~7.5x more hashrate.
In 2021, China had 40-60% of hashrate. Today, they have ~14%.
In 2021, the United States had relatively abundant excess electricity. Today, supply is tight due to increased demand from AI hyperscalers.
This Chinese mining ban will bring with it less network disruption and new back end benefactors in the form of countries with excess energy that isn't being bid up by AI data centers.
It's crazy how much can change in a little over four years.

Earlier today I re-watched this mini-doc on James J Hill and how he succeeded during the railroad boom despite refusing government subsidies that were plentiful at the time.
He focused on efficient capital allocation and investing in civilization.
Part of his success was derived from how simply he set the goals for his company.
"We must operate:
- the fastest locomotives,
- to pull the longest trains,
- with maximum tonnage,
- over the straightest tracks,
- using the least change in elevation,
- with minimal maintenance costs."
Every capital allocation decision he made focused on achieving these goals.
It's hard not to think about the AI boom and all of the government investment going into the sector these days after watching this. How many opportunists are circling their wagons to feed from the government trough at the moment? How efficiently is that easy money going to be allocated?
Who in AI and the booming energy infrastructure industry budding around it is taking the hard but lucrative path that James J Hill took during the railroad boom?

A hill I will die on:
Fiat has corrupted markets to such a degree that everything must be looked at as a financial investment, housing being the worst example.
Real estate is a consumable good that provides utility; shelter. And it should be priced accordingly. You can certainly add premium value for aesthetics + location, but it shouldn't be treated as a savings account.
Real estate developing a monetary premium because governments and central banks print it out of thin air has completely distorted the real estate markets.
People should be able to simply save money and not have to invest to outpace inflation, but invest when they believe they have asymmetric information that will provide returns.
Bitcoin fixes this.

In mid-September the bitcoin network sustainably surpassed 1 zettahash of hashrate on the network for the first time.
In the six weeks since then it's added 100 exahash.
To put that in context, bitcoin didn't reach 100 EH/s for the first time until January 2020.
The pace of hashrate growth right now is mind boggling. And we're due to have a 6.6% upward difficulty adjustment in about six hours.
To anyone reading this wondering what all this means, it means that we're witnessing the exponential growth of the bedrock of the future monetary system.
