Greg - Builder of Many Things

On the eve of this platform turning into X and considering I've been around here for almost a decade, I might as well pin a tweet about who I am and what this is account is about. My name is Greg and I'd like to think I'm a guy who has walked in many shoes. In fact, if I ever write a book about my life, I just gave you the title. I'm the son of an immigrant who came to the US with basically nothing and worked his ass off to provide quite well for us. My dad taught me the value of a solid work ethic and never quitting. He instilled in me a can do attitude and I am fearless when it comes to taking on new challenges as experience has taught me I will overcome. Every 10 years or so I metamorphose into something new professionally. I ran an IT consulting firm in my 20s. In my 30s, I built turbocharged all wheel drive street demons and road racing cars. In my 40s I pivoted to crypto and have built megawatts worth of data centers across the country while learning to ape into shit coins. At one point I even helped build a privacy coin that alas, eventually flopped. Each new iteration of myself leveraged the skills learned in my former occupations, compounding them to propel me further. Lately, I've been figuring out how to build high performance houses and am preparing my pivot to building a real estate empire. I have my eyes set on RV parks and themed STRs, perhaps even a factory to product tiny homes. While I work on building my freedom from the various slave traps that exist for the common man, I also want to do the best I can for my family. I am shocked and dismayed by much that I see in the world (and I'm a pretty wild dude) and am quite concerned for the future my children are growing into. I'm working hard to arm them with the tools necessary to succeed which means hard work at the compound and home schooling so I can control their programming. As one of my father's favorite singers sang, I do things MY way. There is no better teacher than the experience of trying to make something work. Failure is just a part of the process and it's never the conclusion unless you give up. Never stop learning. Never stop building. If there is a God and we were made in His image, we are creators. Act like one.

This is exactly what they want. If you control the spice, you don't have to curtail. On site generation is superior and removes lots of restrictions by not needing a grid tie. It also kind of kills the argument from the general populace of: "Mah powah bill. We won't have power when we need it."

@fortworthchris Just talked to a data center developer that is locating specifically near midstream pipelines. No more grid so now going for gas

Things will get spicy when hyperscalers start buying up oil and gas companies. Seems like it’s one of the surest ways to tvertically integrate.

@Cernovich @Brady_H Magnesium solved my shoulder pains at night. Life changing.

@Brady_H Magnesium. No close second.

Serious question. What’s THE single best supplement someone should take at the expense of everything else? A “we should probably put this in the drinking water” supplement. I’d have to say it’s probably omega-3? Don’t say creatine. It’s not creatine.

@babelDefi @Drop_N_Run Har Har I got you there. I have a cinderblock saferoom w/ a concrete reinforced ceiling inside of my ICF house. Some of us plan ahead. 🫡

@Cointainer_Life @Drop_N_Run The siding / glass / doors vaporizing into shrapnel and hurling toward you at 200 mph would probably do the trick unfortunately

@investor_77777 1) what?

Talk about pump and dump... This thing needs to bounce soon or it's back to 30c. $prl

@GPTWare @0xSero Probably should have added a <sarcasm> tag but... lmfao

@GPTWare @0xSero So glad I don't see 2x4s holding that up!!! Looks good!

Replace your furnace and free up a room! Maximal air flow, electric heating for your whole house!

@GPTWare @0xSero Hopefully you used the right stringers and hangers! <been there done that too!>

@Cointainer_Life @0xSero Not bad. I built a deck once, so I build things too!!! 😂🤪

@BlacklionCTA @jbulltard1 Yeah I was gonna say, the wife feature easily 6 to 10x's that number on a monthly basis... lol

@jbulltard1 A wife subscription is $500?

these hipsters thinking $500/mo is a good deal for a chef, I have this included for free in my wife subscription x.com/benkimbuilds/s…

@GPTWare @0xSero I have built plenty... Had miners tied to radiant floor heating. Have hand built a 1MW DC... Market too niche to support a valid business currently.

@Cointainer_Life @0xSero Build it and ship it smarter person! 😜

@GPTWare @0xSero Key point that is super important. What do you do about the 12k RPM 5a screamers that are pushing the air that are 10x louder than a 18" circulation blower... A smarter person would use liquid cooling on the gear tied into the heat exchanger in the furnace but what do I know? ;)

@0xSero Would be cool if someone made a housing that pushes some of that high power fan intake air from the furnace into it. When the thermostat is set to heat, the hot GPU exhaust is fed through the furnace / ducts. When you need AC the GPU exhaust is sent out the dryer exhaust pipe.

@0xSero @GPTWare About as stable as the AI that made it...

@GPTWare How stable is this

@0xSero @haydendevs Crypto miners looking at you like ...

@haydendevs You should not let them into the room / office with expensive electronics. 1 mistake will break everything

i need this to stop my cat from going behind my server rack and eating the ethernet cables. 80 bucks for a PIR triggered servo is diabolical. i will make my own for $10.

@0xSero I mean welcome to 2015 and every ETH miner since...

My house needs 6 rooms: - 1 for son - 1 for daughter - 1 for wife - 1 for self - 1 for me and wife - 1 for my llms I can't believe it's gotten to this point

@BrettErickson28 @CynicalTrader82 It is a lol because sometimes you just have to grin and bear it. Or are you a revolutionary willing to sacrifice it all, your life, your family, your genetic legacy, to change the status quo? Until humanity collectively decides to do better for all, it's certainly a LOL.

@Cointainer_Life @CynicalTrader82 It’s not “lol” my guy. It’s not a serious argument.

The New York Times is reporting that the releasing of frozen assets to Iran by the Trump Administration is THE sticking point for reaching a deal. Here is why: Since April 13th, the United States has imposed a blockade of Iran alongside an economic warfare campaign dubbed, "Operation Economic Fury". The key purposes of this was to either create so much pressure on the regime that they make significant concessions at the negotiating table, or the population in Iran rises up due to dissatisfaction and topples the regime. A commonly cited figure by the Trump Administration is that Iran is losing $435M for each day the blockade is imposed. First and foremost, this is relatively ludicrous, and a more accurate figure would be closer to $300M/day. That said, $300M multiplied by 46 days since April 13th is a net loss in revenues of $13.8 Billion. What is now relatively irrefutable by all by the most foolish of people, is that the United States has no military ability to force Iran to concede. There is zero public support for a massive 500,000 person ground invasion of Iran. Strikes on critical infrastructure would only further increase support of the regime inside Iran and see brutal retaliation across the Gulf. Operation Freedom, the ludicrous attempt by the United States to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, was so ridiculous that it was canceled within 48 hours. No solutions exist. 0% chance of success. So that leave the economic warfare campaign as the only possible solution to Washington. And let's make one thing crystal clear: at best, Operation Economic Fury has a 5% chance of success. Optimistically. But that's better than 0%, and this is what matters to the Trump Administration right now. A pure and outright loss, which is what this is shaping up to otherwise be, would destroy the legacy of Donald Trump and all of the people around him. The greatest failure in the history of the United States. It's unbearable. But it's the only way that Iran can possibly be incentivized to open the Strait of Hormuz... even temporarily. As it currently stands, ~1,600 vessels are trapped inside the Strait. On board these vessels are human beings, not to mention the vessels themselves, many of which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And the cargo these vessels would carry? Oil. LNG. Fertilizer. Plastics. Medical Equipment. Things that the global economy DESPERATELY needs... and Iran knows that. If these dueling blockades continue, Iran wins. Nobody believes for a second anymore that they will "run out of oil storage", or that their "oil wells will explode". Just today, Iran loaded another 2M barrels onto a VLCC tanker. They have months of storage remaining at this point. The global economy is already at the edge of the cliff, and many would argue that it has already fallen off. Washington needs the Strait open, and they need it open NOW. The only way Iran will agree to do this, is by seeing assets unfrozen (see previous post diving into frozen assets) that are worth anywhere between 6B to 24B. The most commonly referenced figure throughout the leaks on the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding is 12B. But when that $12B is inevitably released by Washington? That $13.8B that Operation Economic Fury and the blockade imposed on Iran? Gone. All future leverage for nuclear talks? Gone. Any hope of success? Gone. But it's the only way Iran can be incentivized to allow these hostage vessels out of the Strait. It's the only way that Iran can justify providing desperately needed relief to the global economy. It's the only way. The question right now is not, "will Washington release the frozen assets to Iran", the question is now, "how much unnecessary damage will be done to the global economy as the Trump Administration sits in denial of reality?" The jig is up for the Trump Administration, and these frozen assets will signal the final acceptance of reality for Washington. nytimes.com/live/2026/05/2…

@BrettErickson28 @CynicalTrader82 Indeed, but since when has that stopped those in power? Lol

@Cointainer_Life @CynicalTrader82 A price that has zero public support domestically…

@BrettErickson28 @CynicalTrader82 Im not maga, I'm just an astute observer and I don't make false statements like we lack the ability to win. We absolutely have it, there is just a massive price to pay for using it.

@CynicalTrader82 @Cointainer_Life The only “strategies” put forth by MAGA at this point are nukes or ground invasion. Both of which are ridiculous.

@fluffypony @zamdoteth Or if you were involved? 💀

@zamdoteth The problem with posts like these is I can’t tell if they’re satirical or real💀

Had a founder return a $150k check today with no explanation I started digging around only to find out he rugged a crypto token for $4m in profit and deleted all him accounts What’s even crazier is i LOST $20k on that coin, not knowing it was his

@Oncha1nd @based16z I didn't know who this was but I'll take it. Codex said Tony Stark. I'll take that too. lmfao

Basically @based16z I’ll take it
