What do you think of “Bitcoin” as a system.
It does passes C, I & K.
And yeah, the mining algorithm itself is called “Proof Of Work”
#Bitcoin
@parkeralewis@IIICapital I don't think people will need to understand digital money(bitcoin) to understand digital credit.
They only need to know that it is extreme low volatility and high yield. They don't care about underlying
It won’t work.
It didn’t work.
World already abandoned gold standard in 1972.
Bitcoin is the reserve currency. $MSTR and other companies already building treasuries.
In comparison, Bitcoin network currently runs on ~25 GW of electricity.
They could mine Bitcoins with this energy till they build transmission lines.
ROC 2.5 years
India curtailed 31 GW of renewable energy capacity in Q4 FY26. That means we had 31 GW of clean power ready to generate but the grid could not absorb it.
I think this is the most underreported bottleneck in Indian energy right now. Solar generation grew 24 percent YoY to 48.9 billion units. Wind hit record additions of 6.05 GW. We are building renewable capacity faster than we are building the transmission lines and storage to use it.
The highest ever peak demand of 256 GW on April 25 was met largely by thermal power. Not because renewables failed. Because the grid infrastructure to move solar power from Rajasthan to Bihar or UP does not exist at the scale needed yet.
This is the next Rs 5 lakh crore opportunity. Grid modernisation, battery storage, green energy corridors. The companies that solve power transmission for renewable integration will define the next decade. The generation story is largely solved. Distribution is the war.
Update 2 👋🏼

5 days to go in this All or nothing campaign 😃
Thank you #bitcoin fam for all the pre orders!
Do you wanna hear me narrating one of the chapters from the book.
It's about the the bitcoin keymaker' in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Looking for more helping hands to bring this to reality.

In 2002, I remember being at a sports bar, watching Ronaldinho lob David Seaman from 35 yards out in the World Cup quarter-final. England never saw it coming.
Twenty-three years later, Brazil just lobbed them again.
Last year, the UK wasted £1.47 billion in curtailed wind energy. That's wind turbines spinning, generating power, and being told to stop because the grid couldn't absorb it. (source: https://t.co/l3yf0BJqIG)
Brazil looked at the same problem - 20% of its renewable energy curtailed in 2025, costing generators around $1.2 billion in losses (https://t.co/zpNAjkoOzB) - and came up with a different answer.
Itau Unibanco, Brazil's largest bank, just invested in Minter through Itau Ventures. Minter builds mobile container data centers that mine Bitcoin directly at solar and wind renewable energy sites. The electricity that would otherwise be wasted - what Brazilian coverage calls "eletricidade desperdicada" - gets converted into Bitcoin.
3 things happen when you do this:
First, generators make money from energy they were previously throwing away. Minter's CEO says it's more profitable than any alternative use of curtailed power. (source: https://t.co/HeS7uzDgZ1)
Second, the grid stabilises. These containers are flexible, interruptible load. When the grid needs the power back, the miners shut off instantly. They absorb surplus when it's abundant and release it when it's scarce. This is precisely the mechanism that was missing when Spain's grid went down last year.
Third, the Bitcoin mined is 100% renewable surplus, not grid power diverted from households. This is surplus clean energy that was going to waste. Sustainability media company ESG Inside has labeled this Clean Bitcoin. (source: https://t.co/INMuU2pWez)
Energy systems and decarbonization expert Fengqi You says that when Bitcoin mining monetizes wasted renewable energy it incentivizing the building of more renewable energy because it increases their profitability.

So while the UK pay wind farms to curtail energy, Brazil's largest bank is investing in technology that turns that same surplus into sound money and grid stability.
I've been saying for four years that Bitcoin mining is the missing piece of the energy transition. For the country that figures this out first they don't just get to turn wasted energy into Bitcoin - they simultaenously fix their grid, remove an attack-vector against renewables, and get ahead of everyone else.
Brazil just figured it out. England (again) never saw it coming
1. The biggest disaster - far bigger than any genocide in history of world - has been de-masculation of Hinduism from its original martial form.
2. Almost every Veda mantra - source of Hinduism - has an unapologetic martial interpretation.
Enemy has to be dealt with ruthlessness. Life is all about tapasya, training and strength accumulation. That is the path to Eeshwar
मन्युरसि मन्यु मयि देहि, बलमसि बलमसि देहि।
3. All deities carry a weapon. All deities have stories around how they destroyed criminals.
4. Bhagvad Geeta is essentially poem of war. To guide an escapist mind to surrender to war of Dharma, even if it demands killing near and dear ones.
5. Non-violence is defined as eradication of forces of violence without frustration.
6. Greatest icon of Sattvik living is Bajrang Bali Hanuman - greatest warrior and strongman ever.
7. And what has happened now. We are busy preparing glorified clerks who get paid well from colonial masters or ecosystem they govern.
Who would watch action films day and night, but freeze at thought of attacking those who attack them. Or remain helpless bystanders when someone is attacked on road.
8. It is assumed that those who fight and can indulge in violence have to be those who drink, womanize, are uneducated or are uncouth.
Called Gunda.
9. We forget that Gunda comes from same Sanskrit root from which English word Good comes - it means someone who protects and is powerful. गुड रक्षणे
10. Sant Tukaram has written that every son must be a Gunda.
11. By modern logic, a vegetarian, sattvik, Ram Bhakt Hanuman can never be a warrior.
12. It is time that we revive the Hanuman - make him central of our education system and culture.
Not as a monkey, but as described in Ramayan - Veda expert, great orator, genius, master planner, disciplined, creative, innovator, daring, sattvik, and yet Gundappa गुण्डप्पा।
13. Men need to be masculine again - like Bajrang Bali Hanuman. The modern education system must end. We don't need clerks.
14. We need men. Real men. Not the silly alpha male marketed by west who seduces some drunk women in pubs.
We need Bajrang Bali Hanumans whose life is ultimate joy because they train hard, stretch boundaries of human potentials, are protectors and always focused on purpose of Ram Bhakti.
15. Radical shifts needed. Enough of Bhaashan, Panel discussions. Let that be done by women and old.
Young men should be गुण्डप्पा. They must lead Bharat back to VishwaGuru through intensity, planning, genius, teamwork, and ruthless focus on goal.

I just finished reading palantir’s manifesto & I need you to understand what you’re actually looking at because this is the MOST important document the tech world has produced this year
most people came away thinking «wow what a thoughtful essay about patriotism and technology »…I came away thinking this is the most elegant justification for corporate capture of the state apparatus ever written & I want to walk you through why
krp opens with «silicon valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible » & frames the entire document as a call to civic duty, but read between the lines and what he’s actually saying is that the engineering elite should be embedded inside the defense and intelligence apparatus of the nation, he’s describing exactly what palantir has already done and dressing it up as patriotism
«the question is not whether AI weapons will be built, it is who will build them and for what purpose »sounds like a warning but it’s actually a sales pitch, he’s telling every gov on earth that the choice is binary either you buy from us or your adversaries will build it without you, this is the oldest arms dealer rhetoric in history wrapped in SV vocabulary
« hard power in this century will be built on software »is the key sentence of the entire manifesto because this is where karp reveals the real thesis, he’s saying whoever controls the software layer of national defense controls the nation itself & if you’ve been following my threads you know that palantir’s gotham and foundry platforms are already plugged into the intelligence feeds the satellite data, financial transactions & communications of dozens of govts worldwide through a single ontological knowledge graph that creates a technological dependency so deep that migrating away would mean rebuilding the entire institutional memory of the organization from scratch
this is vendor lockin at the scale of nation states and I’m personally convinced it was designed this way from the beginning
«we should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act » is karp defending palantir’s expansion into every domain the gov used to handle itself, policing immigration, military targeting intelligence analysis public health, everywhere the state retreats palantir advances and what was once a government function becomes a private service that the government can no longer perform without plantir’s permission
and here’s what I think makes it even more concerning, these systems are increasingly autonomous meaning the AI layer is making targeting recommendations threat assessments & resource allocation decisions that humans inside gov are rubber stamping without fully understanding the underlying logic
a bureaucrat inside the pentagon / DGSI sees a recommendation from the system & approves it because the system has been right 97% of the time and questioning it would require technical expertise that no one in the room has, this is algorithmic governance wearing the mask of human decision making
«the atomic age is ending, a new era of deterrence built on ai is set to begin »is the MOST chilling sentence in the document because karp is explicitly saying that ai based deterrence will replace nuclear deterrence as the organizing principle of global power, and whoever builds that ai deterrence layer owns the 21st century the same way whoever built the bomb owned the 20th & he’s telling you plainly that palantir intends to be that builder
«national service should be a universal duty » & « we should only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk »sounds noble until you realize that he is proposing a system where citizens serve the state & the state is operationally dependent on palantir, the public bears the risk and palantir captures the value, soldiers fight wars planned by algorithms they can’t audit built by a company they can’t vote out
$BTC
This time, BTC pushed to the upside after the 14th, consistent with the patterns shown in previous examples.
Their were only two scenarios we could've seen develop:
1.) Price moves higher for 2–4 days after the 14th, forms a pivot top, then reverses lower within the following 1–2 weeks.
2.) Price rejects immediately from the 14th` high and starts moving down without an additional push higher.
As we can see, BTC followed the first scenario. We established an initial high around 78.2K a few days after the 14th. If we continue to track the prior 10 months of price behavior, this would suggest a higher probability of an extended move lower within the next 1–2 weeks.
That would also make sense in the context of a range bound market.
