He’s either embracing getting absolutely worked and leaning into it by trolling or he knows he’s about to spill all of the Deep State election fraud tea and get a cushy pardon and get sent to live in exile on an island for the rest of his life.

Happy New Year, freaks. Have been sitting on this for a decade. Going to enjoy it with my wife tonight.

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026.

It may not always seem like it but we’re going to win.

The bitcoin quantum FUD is just another iteration of “can the devs do something?!”

A bunch of LARPing by people not close to protocol development who have overlooked that “the devs” have been talking about and researching solutions to this “problem” for years.

It looks like China is again looking to "ban" bitcoin mining.

A lot has changed since they banned mining in 2021.

In 2021, network hashrate was ~160 EH/s. Today, there is ~7.5x more hashrate.

In 2021, China had 40-60% of hashrate. Today, they have ~14%.

In 2021, the United States had relatively abundant excess electricity. Today, supply is tight due to increased demand from AI hyperscalers.

This Chinese mining ban will bring with it less network disruption and new back end benefactors in the form of countries with excess energy that isn't being bid up by AI data centers.

It's crazy how much can change in a little over four years.
