BREAKING: Riot has started mining

at its new Corsicana Texas facility.
With a capacity of 1 GW it is projected to be the biggest in the world.
BREAKING: the Biden Administration is cancelling the fake

mining "emergency" declaration and destroying the data that it illegally collected.
The government is going to restart the process the legal way: with public notice and comment.
The government is also paying…

No one should have to wonder whether a Senator is putting the interests of big banks ahead of the Bill of Rights. Yes, Senator Elizabeth Warren, I’m looking at you.
Biden administration is proposing a 30% tax on electricity used by
#bitcoin
miners, even if you are off-grid using your own solar and wind generation. All of the reasons they provide are pretextual, their real reason is that they want to suppress Bitcoin and launch a CBDC.
Elizabeth Warren swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, but instead she is attacking it.
I'm calling on her to resign.
"I've always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc. [Senator Warren] pointed out the only true use case for it is criminals," says JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. "If I were the government I'd close it down."
BREAKING 🚨 Biden expects the
#Bitcoin
mining industry to 10x in the United States over the next decade, this would imply $6 million price target for
#BTC
. Even more bullish than the wash trading line item.
American dynamism and energy abundance will make this possible!
1. ETFs should not need regulatory approval.
2. The SEC should have approved the first Bitcoin ETF that applied in 2013.
3. It took ten years for the SEC to finally make the correct decision to approve, after losing in court.
4. The SEC completely bungled the announcement.
Wow!

: "You have every right to do
#Bitcoin
, the only reason bureaucrats in DC don't like Bitcoin is that they can't control it. As President we'll protect your right to use
#Bitcoin
."
Governments cause people to buy bitcoin which causes bitcoin miners to buy electricity which causes power plants to emit CO2.
Therefore we should ban governments to stop CO2 emissions.
It's reprehensible that Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to destroy our civil liberties just to ban
#bitcoin
. She should immediately withdraw her bill and apologize to the American public.
@BitcoinPierre
Her net worth increased over 500% since 2019.
4 years servicing on the banking and Urban housing committee. All the while trying to ban Bitcoin.
If
#bitcoin
was bad and worthless, the government would destroy the seized bitcoin as they would do with the crack cocaine bags found in the White House. Instead, they use the bitcoin by spending it. In fact, government auctions actually launder the BTC, cleans it free of crimes

The Bitcoin network settled $2 trillion worth of

@BillAckman
Bill, come visit Rockdale and let’s talk
#bitcoin
mining economics. There’s a lot of feedback loops,
#btc
purchasing power can’t go straight up due to wealth effect spending / rebalancing of holders.
Elizabeth Warren is now attacking the First Amendment,
#bitcoin
proponents have a right to engage in the policymaking process.
We can’t just pass laws written by Big Banks without debate.
Crypto companies are spending millions building an army of former defense and law enforcement officials to lobby against new rules shutting down crypto-financed terrorism. This revolving door boosts the crypto industry, but endangers our national security.
It's understandable why some might perceive
#Bitcoin
maximalism as cult-like due to the community's staunch conviction in Bitcoin's potential. However, this is a misconception primarily based on misunderstanding the principles that underpin Bitcoin maximalism.
Bitcoin maximalism…
Of course you’re free to do whatever you want, but here’s some advice:

Senator Elizabeth Warren is aggressively lobbying for warrantless, unconstitutional mass surveillance of everyone in the United States, just to ban

Cantillon Effect: bankers and politicians leverage their currency monopoly to steal from savers and consumers.
Then they accuse corporations of “price gouging” to distract the public.

Giant corporations in the energy and food industries increased consumer prices to pad their bottom line. It's time we call it out for what it is: price gouging.
“Crypto is currently a very small part of the puzzle. The major funding channels are, were, and remain state funding. Iran and others—those are the major players.”

hearing:
A scenario:
Bitcoin price rise leads to increased mining and greater energy use, driving up the cost of energy, causing inflation to rise and the dollar to decline, driving demand for Bitcoin and increased mining, driving demand for energy and the cycle continues.

Jared Bernstein has a bachelor's degree in music and a master of social work.
Why should he be expected to understand the fiat monetary system?
Relatedly, why should he be Biden's economist?
Relatedly,
#bitcoin
is the most under-valued asset in the world.
The leading fiat economist, Jared Bernstein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, can't even explain why governments borrow money in the currency they print out of thin air.

The fiat dollar is actually an attack on the USA.
It enables bankers and politicians to earn monopoly seigniorage rents, imposing an inflation tax on the people.
1. Rockdale, not Rockland.
2. The air is clean there, did they photoshop to make it hazy?
