We need more ocean water to boil

I was just thinking it is funny and practical, haha, but yes, I do suppose there would be some clout for "establishing new lands" for commercial use or whatever (beyond just the research facilities)

ok, hear me out, new plan... we invade and conquer Antarctica and declare it the sovereign Bitcoin Citadelarctica

Good thing that geothermal heat is not a mineral ;)

I don't see the issue

Oh no, definitely not... I imagine people would go there the same way people in mining work in the arctic, or people work out in oil-rigs. More about building server infrastructure there that is NOT IN ANY NATION STATE.

Exactly, you have the best geothermal gradient on the planet!

Idk if we need all that many people since it's mostly about maintaining the machines, but anything that is not bandwidth intensive compute could be done there, so lots of bitcoin mining and AI.

I'm saying 1 million since some space CEO said something about 1 million humans in LEO, and I think we hit 1 million Antarctic service workers first... but you need absolutely massive infra to need that many people.

Lux, I am your brother

As most certainly is is, for as means that IT IS of a particular form that is being stated

No different from if the IRS says something IS treated AS something else, the IS is implicitly there along with the AS, it cannot be separated

Not that it matters because what they say IS NONSENSE regardless

I zapped you 20 sats on this post, please return them washed and folded, thanks

Total TOTAL LARP

These businesses are not bitcoinER businesses, just businesses that see it as a marketing angle and auto-convert to fiat, maybe 1 in 5 will not.

Cute meme, but AI/HPC does that too

It's funny how you view "the grid" as this unchanging monolith, ignoring the fact that it is downstream of fiat government and central planning 🤦‍♂️

Also, mining itself is nowhere close to putting... nvmd, don't have time to explain it

Reading technical papers on supercritical CO2 geothermal energy

The article libelously calls El Salvador a dictatorship when it has the most popular democratically elected President in the world.

Seems like it could easily be a nation state attack to have something for a PR attack, which is good, as it means they are scared.

I'd be scared of losing a job as an American if I don't want to inject myself with experimental drugs giving people heart attacks

Bro, are you fucking stupid? People are paying a million dollars to get passports in El Salvador under their main citizenship by donation program. 🤡🤡🤡

Fucking piece of shit LARPer, you spend more sats in a country with a higher cost of living, but you must be one of those 10% in bitcoin libertarianism as your religion because you think you wouldn't be a nobody if the world were ancap. Fucking hilarious, the "logic".

Nah, that's not just you. You understand bitcoin, because bitcoin IS. It is not subjective -- don't give these grifters an inch!

Extremely retarded. You are obviously an arrogant statist cuck who thinks poor people need leftists like you to come save them. You value the state and are oblivious to the value of great individuals because the notion is so distant from who you are, and on top of that, you cannot even have the positive trait of humility as a common person. Pathetic.

Don't be jealous that you would not rank position 100,000 on that weak ass attempt at being a thinker! Have fun ogling those sour grapes, loser.

The word "flooding", lol, is 5000 as high as you can count, or do you just enjoy being a lying sack of shit?

It is not about whether it is possible, it is what is the BOTTLENECK, and it rarely is the case that imagination surpasses knowledge for a middle of the road, bright, technical person in any field.
