You're treating Bitcoin like a trade.
But the wealthy treat it like Manhattan real estate in 1950.
Here's what most people do:
Buy Bitcoin → Price goes up → Sell for profit → Pay taxes → Repeat
You just gave 20-40% to the government and reset your position to zero.
Meanwhile, generational wealth is built differently.
They never sell. Ever.
Think about it:
Does Bezos sell Amazon stock to buy groceries?
Do real estate dynasties sell their buildings?
No. They borrow against them.
Bitcoin is the first truly scarce digital asset.
Fixed supply. Global liquidity. No dilution.
It's not currency.
It's not "digital gold" for trading in and out of.
It's the asset you accumulate and never sell.
Here's the strategy the top 1% already understand:
Acquire Bitcoin. Hold it for years.
When you need liquidity, borrow against it.
Live off the credit. Let the asset appreciate. Pass it on.
You keep the upside. You avoid the tax hit. You maintain your position.
Selling is a taxable event. Borrowing isn't.
The moment you sell, you're working backwards.
You're exiting the most scarce asset for a depreciating currency.
The game isn't "when do I cash out?"
The game is "how do I never leave?"
Every time you convert Bitcoin to fiat, you're not taking profit.
You're trading the exit for the cage.
Stop measuring success in dollars.
Fiat isn't the exit. Bitcoin is.

Colonize the moon. The processes, economics, and incentives likely align to establish tourism and mining in the next 50 years. Most people agree the moon is the launching point for greater space travel. Refining regolith and using the moons low gravity brings greater opportunity.

Today I started an experiment to compare @ocean_mining and @braiins. I got asked a lot during Vegas which pays more, so I decided it'll be nice to have some actual data.

Everyone of these dots is flaring gas into the atmosphere and could be mining Bitcoin instead of wasting the gas and poluting the air.

Nobody irl is going to say this to you today, but I am.
I’m proud of you.
You deserve everything that’s happening.
They wanted you to have a miserable life.
To be a slave in their system.
And you said no…
I think I’ll take the orange pill 💊 and see how far down the rabbit hole goes.
I am so proud of you.

If @PayPal are serious about incentivizing green mining - they should absolutely work in concert with @thetrocro . Very few people have thought about how to do it as deeply as Troy, and have the nuance of understanding necessary to align incentives in the right way.
Just read a PayPal proposal to incentivize more sustainable forms of mining.
Essentially, you’ll have the option to pay a green fee along with a tx fee, and you’ll make the green fee substantial but the regular tx fee low. The green fee goes into a multi-sig wallet that is accessible only to a green miner, certified as such by the energy web folks.
Thus, the green miners see your tx in the mempool and go after it, constructing a block with a tx paying themselves out of the “green miner” multi-sig and collecting your green premium. Non-green miners ignore the tx since the regular fee is low, and they can’t pay themselves out of the green miner wallet, since they don’t have keys for it.
So, the idea, if I have it, is that an ordinary wallet provider could have this “green payment” option and if you choose it, your fee would likely be mined by a green miner—fee is too low for a regular miner—and your special fee would go to a green miner, thus encouraging miners to get energy web certified, thus greening the network.
Some initial thoughts:
1. It’s clever. I’m glad people are thinking about this stuff even if it’s got problems (and it does). “Green” is a variable here. You could use the same mechanism if you wanted filtering miners to mine your tx too. Interesting mechanism.
2. It ignores the big payoff for miners: block subsidy. Unlike my proposal with @resistancemoney. (Will link at the end of the thread.) But it’s also compatible with our proposal and could be how we handle fees.
3. The paper spends a lot of time talking about the possibility that non-green miners could mine one of these txs if fees are low enough generally. Not a huge deal IMO as the incentive is still there, and some green miners will snatch that green premium eventually. You can’t 100% claim “this tx was mined by a green miner” but that’s a purity hangup, it seems to me. You’ve incentivized them to chase it.
4. The miner has to include a tx paying themselves. That represents an opportunity cost for the tx they could have included and taken the fees from, but didn’t bc the block was full. As a green miner the premium should only be taken if it+the fee is greater than the opportunity cost. Moreover, the difference between those two is the actual incentive, and that’s less than the “green premium” (ie, fee + green fee). Didn’t see this acknowledged in the paper but I read it while carsick in an Uber.
5. Of course defining “green” is fraught. And not without cost. Reusing waste heat, participating in demand response, mitigating methane from flare stacks, remediating waste coal, simply being price-sensitive in a rational electricity market, these can slip through traditional ways of measuring sustainable electricity use. Bitcoin is special. (And it should go without saying it has zero scope 1 emissions, and that its substitution effects are potentially vast.)
6. Not only is defining “green mining” fraught, but also costly. The cost of auditing and certification must be less than the green premium minus opportunity cost if this scheme is to actually *change* any miner’s actual incentives. I’d like to see estimates of what that would mean for tx fees.
7. Props to @edwinaoki and @PayPal for thinking it through.

On this #EarthDay we want to help give you answers to the following question: How exactly is #Bitcoin #ClimateAction? 🤔
Well, here @jyn_urso suggests...
1) It's permissionless, censorship resistant, decentralized, a great fundraising tool for activists
2) It helps monetize the build-out of renewable energy
3) Flexible load, power on and off quickly
4) It can help mitigate harmful greenhouse gas emissions like methane
5) Capture heat from bitcoin miners and utilize this heat for a variety of use-cases
That was all in a 60 second clip! Want to hear more? Join us at 5pmEST for the premier of our latest episode with @thetrocro and @jyn_urso, via our YouTube Channel: youtu.be/Tejljg6-Fmk?si=-hRV…

🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION🚨
Say NO to the 30% #Bitcoin Mining Tax!
Write your Members of Congress NOW to let them know you oppose the anti-innovation '30% #BTC Mining Tax':
WRITE YOUR LEADERS: satoshiaction.quorum.us/camp…
The Biden administration’s proposal to levy a 30% tax on #Bitcoin mining would virtually crush #Bitcoin mining in the USA.
As you well know, #Bitcoin mining is a powerful tool for balancing the grid, mitigating methane emissions, and creating rural jobs. Unfortunately, many in Washington DC do not know this.
This is our moment to rally, to unite in opposition so that our leaders cannot ignore us. If you use this link you can write all your members of Congress in 60 seconds or less: satoshiaction.quorum.us/camp…
5 Reasons Why Every American Should Be Alarmed About This 30% Tax:
1. Pushing Away Innovation Is Un-American: This tax risks handing over our technological edge in the burgeoning field of #Bitcoin mining to other nations. America has always been a beacon of innovation, leading the charge in technological advancements. We cannot allow short-sighted fiscal policies to push these opportunities—and the benefits they bring—to foreign shores.
2. Grid Stability and Renewable Energy Revolution: Contrary to misconceptions, #Bitcoin mining enhances our energy grid's stability and reliability. There is even peer-reviewed research which supports these claims. Bitcoin mining may be the best technology we have to ensure our lights stay on during winter storms and intense heatwaves.
Use this one-click tool to send a letter to all of your Congressional leaders: satoshiaction.quorum.us/camp…
3. Rural Economies at Risk: The proposed tax also overlooks the vital economic lifeline #Bitcoin mining provides to rural communities across America. By establishing operations in these underserved areas, the industry brings high-tech jobs, revitalizes local economies, and lays down the infrastructure for future tech-led growth. These are not just jobs; they are beacons of hope for many Americans looking towards a brighter economic future.
4. Environmental Stewardship and Innovation: The narrative that #Bitcoin mining is detrimental to the environment ignores the industry's strides towards sustainability. Many mining operations are leading the charge in using and investing in renewable energy as well as tackling methane emissions. #BTC mining is a powerful piece of pro-environment tech driving forward innovations that make cleaner energy more efficient and accessible.
5. A Blow to Economic Growth and Financial Inclusion: At a time when our economy seeks to rebound and build resilience, imposing a punitive tax on a sector ripe with innovation and potential for growth is counterproductive. Furthermore, #Bitcoin and offers a path to financial inclusion for many Americans left out of the traditional banking system, empowering them through permissionless finance.
We Must Act Now—Here’s How:
Members of Congress need to hear from their constituents. WIth the below tool you can quickly and easily send a message to your elected officials to let them know where you stand.
WRITE CONGRESS NOW:
satoshiaction.quorum.us/camp…
Express your staunch opposition to the 30% tax on #Bitcoin mining. Highlight the essential role of #Bitcoin mining in stabilizing our energy grid, cleaning up our environment, supporting rural economies, and ensuring America remains at the forefront of the digital age.
It’s time to defend our national interest, protect our position as a global leader on #Bitcoin, and champion the causes of innovation and economic opportunity that #BTC has to offer.
Act today! Write your leaders and let them know that you stand against the '30% anti-innovation BTC tax': satoshiaction.quorum.us/camp…
