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
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.
Nope, this is a leftist meme to destroy families and convince people to "donate" their money i.e. give to organizations they are beneficiaries of, truly diabolical -- but keep listening to friends of Bill Gates, maybe after your tenth jab you could just "donate" most of your stack to Pfizer directly.
OR raise your kids to not be unambitious losers you want to have fun watching stay weak.
"In 2016, arguably at the peak of their power, there were an estimated 60,000-70,000 gang members and maybe half a million collaborators, constituting 8% of the entire population. The gangs operated in 94% of municipalities, extorted 70% of businesses, and between the extortion, violence, and general instability promulgated by their presence, the gangs cost the Salvadoran economy an estimated $4 billion annually, constituting about 15% of GDP. In 2014, its most violent year, El Salvador suffered almost 4,000 murders."
15%, wow, that's crazy, almost half of the US percent of GDP that the Government spends!
Gonna have to come back to this and keep reading tomorrow.
Wrong. It converts pension fund money into the pockets of a handful of people... I am working on something that will allow you not to have to cope so hard soon enough.
I have always found Iran to be an interesting place. It is the only place where research papers have come from where I have felt interested in emailing the author to ask some questions (my CEO suggested I probably shouldn't given our industry, and he was probably right even though I made sure to not share any info with them).
Anyway, there seems to be a beautiful culture there that values intellectualism, in a good way -- intellectual has become an insult now with how distorted and ineffective academia is under fiat. It is really more about valuing doing things well, whether in science, engineering, or art.
Even as a Jew, generally in support of Israel, I think all the religious conflicts will disappear within a few decades as the world grows 2x in total power generation (now around 3 mwh/yr/capita with wealthy countries 3x that and poor countries 3x less). Also, I think the hatred is downstream of statism since hate toward a collective group can only even be a coherent ideology if states collectivist notions are prominent (every anti-semite, anti-white racist, etc is inherently a collectivist).
The positive cultural attributes will survive and I expect Iran will thrive. Natural resources alone is not enough in the modern world where the value-add multiplier of technology grows, which means the base resource becomes relatively worth less and less over time, even will throughput in real world units grows.
I made a poll to see how people think Tehran will stack up against Dubai in 50 years.

Wtf? What a retarded question.
You work more than you consume or take actual risk with investment and no one gives you free money. Is that really so unimaginable you had to make an entire post?
Taking some steps toward destroying Russian, Saudi, and Chinese influence globally faster than bitcoinization will.
