Retired = no productive contribution
Everyone retired = production collapse

"Slave" part excluded because that is contribution without comp nsation which there fortunately is very little of.

A society where everyone is participating as consumers in a market - bit no one produce for - it is not plausible and will cause hyperinflation very fast. Super good for Bitcoin short-term yes, but on a societal level unustainable and the "slave jobs" would just be redistributed to those who don't have hard assets at best but real life sustaining value would be lost without any new input to the market.

So the premise is nonsensical.

Geniously. Wowly.

Gradually, then suddenly #bitcoin opt-out becomes risk-on.

You lost it.

#bitcoin heating is the biggest unexplored product opportunity for #ASICs. I would love to heat with a side of hash!

An ASIC converts electricity to two things; sha256 hashrate and heat. The hashrate is used but hardly economical where I live (Nordics) on its own. However, my point is that the heat can be utilized and offset the cost. An ASIC mineraloil cooling loop can be connected to a separate water based heating system-loop via an heat exchanger. So you get a SHA256 to sell to compensate the electricity you would need to heat the water anyway. Even with inefficient miners you can profit when accounting for heating costs offset. There are examples on youtube with DIY setups - but no proper product where this is built as a home heating system based on heating by a sha256 ASICs...that's is what I want and even non-bitcoiners would love to save 50-90% on heating costs.

I hope you do something as disruptive with the silicon rather than just compete in the same product range; turn the heat generation problem to an asset and heat homes, water etc...hillbilly installations exist, no proper products. I'd buy in a sec.

Here, I fixed it for you:
Trump humiliated and exposed by Macron.
Europe arming up to survive without US support.
GOP leadership either double-down or denounces their own President sparking even more polarisation.

Looks like we are escalating towards a crisis climax. The ones who said "trust me bro" are untrustworthy. Governments have faultered by less lies than this.

The US would not hold an election midst an invasion of say the east shore states with tens of millions of voters displaced and no infrastructure secure enough for the rest to safely vote. No democracy would, only dictatorships.
