My biggest realization regarding @Blockware's offering is that it is first and foremost a tax mitigation strategy.

Many people have high ordinary income, but limited options to reduce their tax burden.

While people may be inclined to compare buying Bitcoin miners vs buying Bitcoin... the more appropriate comparison is buying miners vs other strategies which aim to reduce taxes via investment in income generating assets — such as oil/natural gas drilling, aircraft leasing, real estate, or solar projects.

High-net-worth individuals and businesses have a tax strategy *in addition to* their investment strategy.

I’m glad they did this debate but it was genuinely painful to listen to. Saif fully debunks Pavlina’s claim that money is debt (this is a core MMT belief; they need it to be true to support their ideology), yet she won’t acknowledge it. And the way Jason adds the word “democratize” to justify his desired state of communism is truly disgusting.

Posting this b/c I'm sure it'll be fascinating to look back at some point in 2027.

Morgan Stanley is quite bullish on the Powered Shell Providers. WULF, CIFR, MARA, HUT, GLXY, APLD, RIOT.

PSPs are essentially landlords of AI data centers. They own or control scarce land, grid power connections, and the underlying data center infrastructure (buildings, electrical systems, cooling) which they lease on long-term contracts to Neoclouds, hyperscalers, or AI companies. Their customers typically provide the GPUs and operate the computing equipment, while the PSP earns contracted revenue from the underlying infrastructure.

NEW: Bitcoin mining difficulty spends its 374th straight day below its all-time high, the longest stretch in the network's history.

Difficulty peaked at 155.97T on October 29, 2025.

That beats the 364-day gap after the 2011 crash and the 253 days after China's 2021 mining ban.

Saifedean Ammous puts it bluntly: "It's a new world for bitcoin mining."

Another 3.7% cut is projected around November 13, pushing a new high even further out.

My point was in response to your claim that Trump "is a fascist, but is fortunately constrained by one of the best legal systems in the world." The legal system couldn't stop the Biden Admin from allowing millions of unknown foreign men to illegally enter the country over multiple years. But the legal system is going to stop Trump from being a "fascist"? I think you can see the issue here.

"Crime is trending *down* over decades." Firstly, the data is only what gets reported. Certain people and politicians have a clear incentive for the data to show that crime is down in their jurisdiction, even if reality is the opposite. Secondly, I'm less interested in comparing current crime data to decades ago, and more interested in comparing it to what we all know it could be. Little kids in Japan walk around by themselves in cities. We could have that. But only if we are willing to set examples and keep criminals out of society.

Here's a crime anecdote that everyone should be aware of:

— Abubakarr Barrie, a 23-year-old from Sierra Leone, entered the U.S. illegally through Arizona in December 2023 and was released under Biden administration policies. In July 2026 he was arrested in New York City on a forged-instrument charge; ICE lodged a detainer that local authorities did not honor, and he was released. On October 22, 2026, in Baltimore, he allegedly picked up a 15-year-old girl in an unlicensed rideshare, drove the wrong way, put her in a headlock, took her to a basement he was renting, stripped her, and stabbed her multiple times. She fought back with a fire extinguisher, escaped naked and bleeding with a collapsed lung and about five stab wounds, and is expected to survive; Barrie faces charges including attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping and is held without bond, with a new ICE detainer lodged.

It's an anecdote, and it's completely insane and inexcusable in every way. This man never should have been allowed to cross the border. He never should have been released by the Biden Admin. NYC authorities should have honored the ICE detainer. This was all intentional. The Biden Admin and NYC knew exactly what they were doing. This cannot be hand-waved away as just an anecdote.

Fraud is not peanuts. The people using Medicaid, EBT, childcare subsidies, housing assistance, etc (probably ~50M adults)... they are also voters. How do you think they react if they see a politician pushing for more eligibility/work requirements, income checks, citizenship verification, or fraud prosecutions? Stopping fraud is unpopular politically because so many people are involved in the fraud. This is likely the realization that politicians come to when going after fraud.

It's interesting that when Republicans want to enforce stricter voter ID laws in 2026, people rush to say it's unfair and being done too quickly. But when states wanted to enable widespread mail-in voting in the 2020 election year, they got it done. Somehow, we could all do our in-person weekly grocery shopping at the local big box grocery store during covid, but we couldn't possibly be expected to vote in person in November 2020. There was broad expansion of mail-in voting procedures across the country within months of an election. Courts (including SCOTUS) didn't stop it. California even used the covid excuse to make a permanent change to their elections. In 2021, CA passed a law that permanently requires that a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to every active registered voter for future elections (statewide and local). If you wanted to make your elections as big of a clown show as possible, you'd do what California does.

You believe millions of people were coming to the southern US border because of the "covid backdrop"? I would argue a much larger contributing factor was the fact that a Democrat was president, and the illegal migrants knew that they'd have a good chance of making it into the country and remaining in the country. The data suggests the biggest sustained increases in migration happened after January 2021 (beginning of Biden Admin). And tons of illegal migration was still happening throughout 2023. Covid does not do a good job explaining this.

It was a common leftwing talking point to say Republicans intentionally blocked the 2024 border security bill purely so they could campaign on it later in the year. But that's misleading and omits key parts of the story. Firstly, Republicans had real issues with the bill. Essentially they wanted it to do much more. And now we can say that wasn't just talk because now we've seen that the actual enacted funding under Trump Admin 2.0 (in the OBBBA) is much larger and doesn't contain specific features that led Republicans to block the 2024 bill. Secondly, it must be stated how reprehensible the Democrats' behavior was in the 3 years leading up to the proposed 2024 border security bill. From 2021-2023, Democrat politicians told us repeatedly that the border was secure. And of course their media allies parroted the same. Then in 2024, when the Dems realized the influx of millions of illegals was turning into bad PR, suddenly they wanted to do something last minute (and still would have been insufficient) before the 2024 election. They lied to our faces for 3 years straight about one the most critical functions of government (border security). These are dishonest and subversive actors. So to recap, the Democrats allowed millions of unknown foreigners into the country illegally, helped them with financial and informational resources once they were in, lied to the public for years claiming this wasn't happening, then gaslit the public into thinking the other party was blocking the solution.

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

I’m aware there are more entities in the govt beyond the legal system. The point was to counter the notion that the legal system is principled and righteous and will/must keep Trump in check.

So the legal system can repeatedly stop the Trump admin from removing people who never should have entered in the first place, but somehow we cannot expect the legal system to prevent an Admin from allowing millions of unknown foreigners from entering illegally? The reality is the legal system often has a bias in favor of one party. Keep in mind we are talking about the topic of *illegal* immigration. If the *legal* system can't stop millions of foreigners from *illegally* entering the country, then the legal system is some combination of biased and impotent.

Every week there’s a story of a criminal with a long rap sheet being released and committing yet another crime. It happens all over the country. It must be at least 80% of the population that doesn’t want this, yet it keeps happening. You describe the nice-sounding option of voting out the people who keep enabling this, yet that never seems to happen. At some point you must wonder whether this system is too rotten to actually fix itself.

The welfare fraud in this country is not small. Sure some cases are prosecuted each year. The real fraud is many multiples worse. Just think how egregious recent examples have been. The Learing Center, the fake hospices in LA, the fake autism centers in MN, fake adult daycares in NYC. And was it the legal system or welfare agencies who actually found the fraud? Nope! It was a 20 yr old kid with a microphone and a Twitter account. The legal system and the agencies aren’t even trying to find the fraud. In major US cities you can find people on the sidewalk or sitting in a car smoking weed scrolling their phone for hours. I see this every day. I guarantee you they are leeching off various welfare programs. And I guarantee you New York State doesn’t care to find it or stop it.

The only reason anyone would be against voter ID is because they want to cheat. Polls constantly show an overwhelming majority of the country supports voter ID, yet it cannot get passed. Elections look more and more like mickey mouse elections each year. Widespread mail-in ballots, ballots sent out to people who don't request them or don't live in the state anymore, limited restrictions on harvesting, people "vouching" for others, election month instead of election day.

Anarchist is not the right word. The word anarchy comes from "without a ruler". The political party failing to deliver the basic functions of government is doing so with rulers and top down authority. They do it in a calculated way such that law abiding citizens are harmed, productive people are harmed, the leeches of society are satisfied, and so they themselves continue to hold power. Anarchy is too kind a description of what these people are doing.

It's not a mystery which political party fails to deliver the most basic functions of government. It's the Democrats. We can argue whether it's due to malice or incompetence. But one cannot deny that the four basic functions I listed (secure border, prevent crime, prevent welfare fraud, election security) are not being delivered, and it's the result of Democrat behavior/policies. It should be easy to acknowledge this reality.

America used to be a country. New people came here but they quickly assimilated, they wanted to assimilate, and they wanted to become American in terms of their behavior and identity.

Now America feels more like a crappy nightclub where people come in, seek to benefit their own crew, complain, and keep to themselves without any regard for whether the nightclub is becoming unrecognizable vs what it was previously.

[Mitchell Askew @MitchellAskew]

By now you should have a clear picture of your 2026 income, which means you also have a clear picture of how much you’re losing in taxes.

For married filers, every dollar earned above ~$100,000 is taxed at 22% or more.

That’s over a fifth of your earnings going to a government that is $40 trillion in debt.

For single filers it’s worse. Every dollar above ~$105,000 is taxed at 24% or more.

God Himself only asks for a 10% tithe.

It’s worth looking at what the tax code actually allows you to do about this.

Bitcoin mining servers are my favorite option.

$1 spent on miners = $1 off your taxable income.

Less money to the IRS. Machines earning you Bitcoin every day.

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

Why do you think the legal system couldn’t prevent the Biden Admin from allowing millions of unknown foreign men to illegally enter the country?

Why can’t the legal system prevent criminals who’ve been arrested 37 times from being let back into society?

Why couldn’t the legal system prevent billions of dollars of egregious welfare fraud?

Why can’t the legal system enact voter ID which is the most obvious and basic tenet of election security?

Do you have any thoughts on the inability of the legal system to protect and deliver the most *basic* functions of government?

If you are so willing to label Trump a "fascist", perhaps you could assign a label to the people who fail to deliver the most basic functions of government? What label should they be given?

To pretend that Trump will or must be kept in check by a principled and righteous legal system is one of the most naive LARPs I have ever seen.

In fact, it's hard to accept that you even believe it.

Back in April, I saw your reply on the Mario Nawfal post (the OP of this thread). Your reply was a non sequitur, because the post never said anything about Trump being a man of faith.

I replied with many examples showing that there is no pure and righteous politician available to us. I also included plenty of accurate information demonstrating that there are far more important things to be focused on in politics than Trump's 2005 quote with Billy Bush or his inability to name a favorite Bible verse.

https://t.co/J9IoaGbhh3

Yet no response from you.

And, funny enough, on that same day back in April, you made a post about challenging your audience and having a discussion. I guess that's a one-way street.

https://t.co/cwQEcptPKD

Yet I've seen you reply to random anon accounts on twitter plenty of times. Somehow that meets your bar for a response.

HOLY SH*T. A 15yo girl in Maryland ESCAPED an attempted kidnapping after Abubakarr Barrie, an ILLEGAL ALIEN, allegedly took her to a basement and tried to K*LL her.

The girl managed to fight off her attacker and then flee while suffering from a collapsed lung.

Barrie was released into the country under Biden. He was released from NYPD custody a few months ago despite having an ICE detainer.

He’s now facing multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping.

This is Democrats’ vision for our country.

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

NYC and the entire state of CA are clear evidence of the failure of (D) policies.

When Democrats have permanent political power, these are the results:

▪️wasteful spending & bloated budgets
▪️high & increasing taxes
▪️inability to deliver basic services/projects (roads, bridges, fire prevention, rebuilding approvals)
▪️rampant fraud (theft) in healthcare/daycare
▪️homelessness & drug use on the streets
▪️criminals with 20+ arrests on the streets
▪️a growing population dependent on govt programs
▪️perpetual promises (lies) of fixing the problems if you just give (D) programs more money
▪️productive people & businesses eventually get fed up and leave for a Red state

This is all obvious to anyone with intellectual honesty. Yet none of this matters to lifelong (D) voters. To them it's "vote blue no matter who." It's blind allegiance to The Party no matter what happens in reality.

Why it's not possible to define "Leftism" based on policy:

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

Every item below occurred after Bitcoin’s Oct '25 high and subsequent drawdown, i.e. in a bear market.

Compare that to the 2022–23 bear market, confidence in Bitcoin collapsed and institutions mostly backed away. Now we see the largest financial institutions building/offering products for mass-market adoption... in a bear market.

🔸 Vanguard reverses its long-standing policy and opens its brokerage platform to crypto ETFs and mutual funds (Dec 2025)

🔸 Bank of America lets its 15,000+ wealth advisors proactively recommend a 1–4% crypto allocation and begins covering spot Bitcoin ETFs (Jan 2026)

🔸 Morgan Stanley launches its own spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT), the first by a major U.S. bank under its own name, at a category-low 0.14% fee (Apr 2026)

🔸 Goldman Sachs files for its first Bitcoin ETF, offering price exposure plus options-based income (Apr 2026)

🔸 Charles Schwab launches direct Bitcoin and Ether trading for retail clients via Schwab Crypto (Q2 2026)

🔸 BlackRock incorporates Bitcoin into its model portfolios and reaffirms guidance for a 1–2% allocation as a “complementary diversifier,” despite BTC falling ~50% from its October high (May–Aug 2026)

🔸 Citi announces plans for institutional Bitcoin custody through Custody+, raises its BTC price target to $113K, and publishes a client guide to crypto ETFs (Aug–Nov 2026)

🔸 JPMorgan Asset Management includes Bitcoin in its long-term capital market assumptions for the first time, with a 10% base-case annual return, the highest of the major assets listed (Oct 2026)

🔸 Franklin Templeton launches two stock + Bitcoin “DRIP” ETFs (FBEQ, FIBT) that start at 95/5 and reinvest stock dividends into Bitcoin (Oct 2026)

@profstonge Cutting entitlement spending (most of the budget) is wildly unpopular nationally. If it were popular, Ron Paul would have been president.

https://t.co/BNYLj86DCB

[John Haar @jhaarblockware]

The opposite is true — politicians who run on balancing the budget DO NOT win national elections in a landslide.

Voters love claiming support for "cutting spending" ... as long as we're cutting spending that doesn't benefit them!! (either directly or indirectly)

Does anyone honestly believe that massively cutting social security, medicare, medicaid, and military spending is a winning platform for a national election? (fyi these are the largest items in federal spending)

I get the idea of pointing out the contradiction of things Trump said previously vs what's happening today.

But it's so obviously NOT TRUE that running on balancing the budget results in winning a national election.
