🧵1/ Lockheed Martin Skunk Works may be on the cusp of announcing a CFR (Compact Fusion Reactor). If true, it would usher in an era of clean, stable, cheap, compact and virtually limitless power. It would also completely transform Bitcoin mining. Let's dive in and explore how.⚡️

2/ First, why is a Compact Fusion Reactor (CFR) a plausible speculation? A decade ago Lockheed Margin Skunk Works suggested the timeline for a commercial CFR product was only a decade away.

1/ The most likely reason why Michael @Saylor won't publish Proof-of-Reserves is almost certainly due to Strategy's hinted long-term business plan to become a "Digital Hotel." Strategy is protecting the privacy of future occupants. Let's dive in 🧵👇 2/ Michael Saylor has often explained his long term vision of Bitcoin as a "Digital Hotel." The concept is generally lost on most people, unless one understands what problem he is trying to solve.

🧵1) Josh Mandell's mind-blowing Bitcoin strategy is inextricably linked to Nikola Tesla's observations of energy, frequency and vibration. As Nikola Tesla once said, “If only you knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the Universe.” 👇 2) On 11/5/2024 (1+1+5+2+0+2+4=15, 1+5=6) Mandell predicted that Bitcoin would have a failed rally and return to a close of $84K (8+4=12, 1+2=3) on 3/14/25 (3+1+4+2+5=15, 1+5=6). Every number is his prediction has a "digital root" of 3, 6 and 9. 🤯

1) Ripple isn't a commodity to be stockpiled. Ripple is what is known as a "Differentiated Product" — centrally controlled by Ripple Labs by its own tailored consensus, trademark and logo — much like the centralized administrators of "Champagne" or "Kleenex." Here's why…🧵👇 2) A differentiated product is one that is uniquely different from its competitors, allowing the producer to argue that it is better and potentially charge a higher price for it. A product is a commodity when all units of production are identical, regardless of who produces them.

🧵 1) MicroStrategy is poised to become the Standard Oil of the digital age. Let's take a closer look at how Michael @saylor is refining new Bitcoin financial products in the same way John D. Rockefeller did with petroleum, when few understood the practical uses of crude oil. 2) 175 years ago, whale oil was used for illumination and crude oil was dismissed as a curiosity. It was a nuisance for landowners—something that fouled up salt mines near Oil Creek, Pennsylvania. It had no economic usefulness other than as a suboptimal medicinal.

1) 🧵Food enrichments stimulate our appetites for refined foods. This has been known by farming scientists for over a century. Let's take a closer look at how vitamins were weaponized by the food industry for profit. @RobertKennedyJr #MAHA freetheanimal.com/2016/05/enrich… 2) Scientists have known for over a century that if animals eat refined foods as staples, they will naturally lose their appetites. If vitamins are added to a synthetic, purified diet, it will “greatly” increase their appetite and intake for that refined diet.

[THREAD] 🧵The Wizard of Oz is believed to be an allegory for the 19th century "free silver" movement against the gold standard. Liquidity shocks in the Midwestern U.S. led to a populist revolt against hard money. Can Bitcoin avoid a similar fate in a hyperbitcoinized world? 2/ In L. Frank Baum's 1900 book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," Dorothy wears "silver shoes." (Hollywood used ruby slippers to showcase Technicolor™). Baum was a Populist and believed reintroducing minting of abundant silver coinage would assist impoverished communities.

1/ Michael @saylor's "Digital Hotel" is a metaphor for a Bitcoin lending platform. In a future of scarce bitcoins, liquidity will be paramount. $MSTR will be incentivized to build tools and platforms that virtually eliminate lending risk. Here's how... 🧵
2/ Imagine a future where AIs are self-spawning their own AI workers that will need to pay for electricity and their own CAPEX. These self-spawned AI workers will need to onboard onto the Lightning Network in order to become economically viable and to stay alive and functional.

🧵1/ Ethereum is not a commodity. It's what is known as a "Differentiated Product" centrally controlled through hard forks that are certified by the Ethereum Foundation's trademark and logo — much like centralized administrators of "Champagne" or "Kleenex." Here's why…👇 2/ A differentiated product is one that is uniquely different from its competitors, allowing the producer to argue that it is better and potentially charge a higher price for it. A product is a commodity when all units of production are identical, regardless of who produces them.

🧵 1/ For years, Michael @saylor has been giving away his long term business plan, through cryptic parables of "Digital Energy" and a "Magic Hotel," but few have understood them. MicroStrategy's business plan appears to be much bigger than people realize. Let's find out why👇 2/ In these clips, Michael Saylor explains his parable of how Bitcoin is "Digital Energy" and a "Magic Hotel." The concept is generally lost on most people, unless one understands what problem he is trying to solve.

1) Whether you believe #Bitcoin needs to upgrade or ossify, it's important to become familiar with Jevons Paradox and the “rebound effect,” in order to understand how technological innovations can lead to unintended consequences. 🧵 2) In the 19th century, renowned economist William Stanley Jevons noted in his seminal book, "The Coal Question," that efficiency improvements in the use of coal in Scotland from 1830–1863 led to an increase in its demand, not a decrease as conventional wisdom would dictate.

If you believed the #MH370 videos documented by @JustXAshton were debunked by 1990s stock VFX footage, you've been misled. Here's proof that nearly-identical blast patterns are found everywhere from shockwaves to supernovae. 👀 @JonesDanny @CorridorDigital @julianddorey @MickWest .@JonesDanny, @CorridorDigital now that the so-called 90s VFX debunk has been shown to be nothing more than apophenia (the perception of meaningful patterns where none exist) will you issue an apology and retraction to viewers who were misled by your fallacious assessment?

1/ If Non-Human Intelligence exists, has it been gifting technology to humanity for millennia? From agriculture to Bitcoin, let's examine technologies throughout history that were seemingly gifts that pushed the human race forward. 2/ Investigative journalist, Ross Coulthart, recently revealed on Project Unity that one of his sources alleges the reports of Non-Human Intelligence are not extraterrestrial visitors. Rather, he posits they are an advanced Earth civilization that predates our own.

1) 🧵 @ben_mckenzie's thesis that Bitcoin "...is a story, it will last as long as people believe in it." is not the slam dunk he thinks it is. All 💵 money is what is known as a "shared fiction" that allows humans to facilitate trade. Let's explore why... 2) Co-host of @NPR's @planetmoney, @jacobgoldstein's book "Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing" chronicles the history of money as a shared fiction. npr.org/2020/09/08/910…

1/ Stop trusting centralized app stores that can censor your #Bitcoin app at any moment. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are unstoppable, universal, lightweight and can be installed on any phone by simply adding them to your Home Screen. It's this easy. Let's learn more about them. 2/ Progressive Web Apps are websites that work everywhere and can be safely installed on your phone, without worry. Try it out now. Go to timechainstats.com, tap the Share icon, and tap "Add to Home Screen" to get a free Bitcoin dashboard app.

1/ For those circulating a 12 sec clip of @GaryGensler (from Fall 2018), taken of context, where he claims 70% of crypto isn't a security. Watch this longer clip from 2018 and it's clear he was using total market cap, and stating the SEC's 2018 opinion, which he disagreed with. 2/ As for Ethereum, he specifically stated that Ethereum "could get off the hook" because it "has been more decentralized recently" and, like Litecoin and Monero, it used Proof of Work at the time. Today, that's no longer true about Ethereum, of course.

🧵 1) Did you know that prior to 2020 @TheDemocrats and environmentalists were the most enthusiastic supporters of Demand Response technology for "Smart Grids"? Today, Biden and Dems are maligning Demand Response, in order to attack #Bitcoin.

Let's go back in time and see. 👇 2) In 2009, @HouseDemocrats Henry Waxman and @EdMarkey introduced the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) to promote clean energy and "Smart Grid" demand response. Today, Markey is one of the most vocal critics of #Bitcoin mining demand response.

🧵 1) Do midstream oil and gas corporations — one of which is owned by one of the largest individual shareholders of The New York Times — benefit from the publication’s recent attack on #Bitcoin mining? Let's find out. 👇bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/why-th… 2) One of the largest NYT shareholders currently owns 8% of NYT's class A shares. He is the eleventh-richest person in the world with a net worth of $86 billion, making him the richest person in Latin America. In 2009, he loaned the NYT $250 million.

🧵 1) Why are environmental activists and climate policy advocates changing their minds about #Bitcoin? The answer is that Bitcoin is what is known as a "counterintuitive solution." Let's find out why. 2) Counterintuitive solutions are perceived to be a net negative for humanity, but are actually a net positive. They go against conventional wisdom and require humility and open-mindedness to recognize. For example, blood transfusions were banned in the late 17th century.

🧵 1) Nostr is 👍, but there are limitations and serious risks associated with using Nostr for your identity. Let's take a closer look at what the issues are, why it needs to be solved and why using Nostr for identity can increase the risk of security vulnerabilities and attacks. 2) The ability to robustly secure one’s identity is critical to functioning societies. Without proof of identity, individuals cannot access banking services, gain employment, or receive voting rights. Solving decentralized identity is crucial for individual sovereignty.
