Imagine if the Beijing bikini was common practice in Europe and we could just use the excuse of it being hot out to flex our abs in the middle of the street.
The Luce is actually a perfect test. If you run a family office, you should be showing everyone the Luce. Anyone who says they'd buy it can be made redundant.
You could buy 10 way cooler cars for $50k each and still have $145k to splurge at La Guerite this summer.
This is one of the best and simplest explanations of why Bitcoin mining is increasingly being looked at as energy infrastructure rather than just 'data centres'.
Battery farms get paid to turn off.
Bitcoin miners get paid to turn off AND get paid when they are on.
That economic model is incredibly powerful for grids with growing renewable overbuild and curtailment.
Once Europe wakes up to these opportunities, the floorgates will open.

It was a pleasure to speak with @SGBBarbour, @dfjonsson, and @_bradcuddy_ at #Bitcoin2026 about the importance of investing in energy to power compute. I shared @NewWestData's story about creating digital egress by using natural gas at oil wells to power bitcoin mining and compute. As the only vertically-integrated miner and oil and gas producer in the industry, our costs are at least 50% lower than other miners because we own - and control - our power supply.
The next energy superpowers will emerge where power is cheapest and most overlooked. Bitcoin is monetising stranded and excess electricity, turning it into hard money and driving local growth across emerging markets.

I am 43 and I am in the best shape of my life. Never taken steroids or peptides. I understand the temptation but the R/R is still quite skewed. I believe we will probably see some safe options in the next 5-10 years but at the moment just put in the work friends ❤️💪
Creatine sales are down 97% globally as people have replaced it with peptides. Am I biased as one of the largest creatine dealers in the world. Yes. Not a huge fan.
But idk Bros. In your 20’s you can get in peak. Elite shape and maintain low body fat without any of that stuff with some hard work, discipline and a great diet.
A lot of these peptides have no quality control and many have a total lack of research. Buying from some factory in Bangladesh is probably not the best idea. But if you’re going to do it. At least find the best proven quality stuff you can. Don’t be cheap when it comes to your long term health.
Not in all, but I think eventually in many cases the potential side effects are going to be pretty regrettable. I guess time will tell.
@ItsSnibby For sure and that's the edge; by becoming part of grid infrastructure and getting paid for doing so, we can create additional revenue streams, making us the last people to shut down in tough times.
There are massive inefficiencies in the modern power grid. The variable production of wind and solar energy means dynamic offtakers are not just a "nice to have" but a necessity. Solving this need is the main goal of our new digital infrastructure fund at MGMT.
French utility giant Engie (ENGI FP, mkt cap $75B) is considering Bitcoin mining in Brazil due to constant curtailment of renewable loads.
Transmission bottlenecks have cost billions in lost revenue.
BTC mining "can help convert stranded power into a monetizable asset"
Well it's certainly not a comparable "product" really. If you want to run AI equipment your base investment is also a multiple of the mining capex both in infra and equipment.
The play nowadays is clearly not to just build a DC and buy grid power to mine but rather become a part of energy infrastructure and create additional revenue streams.
