My GOAT. And this is basically a comedy bantz video. Messi boys go do some research. Lads tried to assassinate him every game and he was just too good to get shot. Diego. And Kenny. My 2 hero footy boys. Yiz can all fuck off after that.

@RafaMorgan64 Most people do not understand this. The story of ASML is well worth reading

Nobody in the world makes chips without Europe.🇪🇺

This is a must read from @davidmcw “Is Ireland the worst run country in Europe?” The figures in this article are mind blowing . No accountability in the Senior echelons of Public Service. No wonder people are angry. #fuelprotests

An open letter to @ProfSteveKeen regarding your recent comments about Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. Respectfully, I have listened to your comments on Bitcoin mining and it is very clear that you have no understanding of how Bitcoin mining works. This is not a hill you I believe you should be seeing your reputation die on. Specifically it is very clear that you have no understanding that it is a flexible user of energy that does not rival other energy users for its power, no understanding of the well established ability Bitcoin mining uniquely has to monetize otherwise wasted renewable energy, no understanding of how Bitcoin mining obviates gas peaker plants, and no understanding of the unique role Bitcoin mining is playing in methane mitigation. You also appear not to understand that these facts are not some pot pouri of greenwashing claims from "Bitcoin supporters" looking to defend their assetclass but datapoints that have been repeatedly established in 24 peer reviewed journals, and 8 independent reports (including Cambridge University) Your characterization of Bitcoin supporters as not understanding the interrelationship between global warming and energy dynamics is as patronizing as it is a reconfirmation of your own lack of research, given there are a number of committed environmentalists, climatetech investors and climate scientists who are avid supporters of Bitcoin mining precisely because it already can and is incentivizing renewable energy transition and methane mitigation at scale. You also appear ignorant of the fact that the first generation research on Bitcoin mining that suggested environmental harm was debunked in peer reviewed study in 2023 and that is why the media has not quoted this study since. Finally your contention that Bitcoin is "going to zero" because mining will become unprofitable shows again an appalling lack of basic understanding of the economics of Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining companies are able to earn ancillary revenue through any number of means, they may be vertically integrated, they may mine using last-gen machines on stranded solar/wind, they may mine offgrid on otherwise wasted power sources such as landfills of oil&gas fields, they may be nation states such as Bhutan using Bitcoin mining on their otherwise surplus hydro energy. These unique abilities of Bitcoin miners mean that far from being at risk, Bitcoin mining is by far the most resilience industry in the face of rising energy prices. The mere fact that Bitcoin mining exists and is growing in EU despite already very high energy prices is proof of Bitcoin miners' resilience to rising energy costs that affect other industries far more. Your opposition to Bitcoin, and Bitcoin mining, appears more motivated by regret aversion, a well documented psychological phenomenon where someone who "misses out" rationalizes that "there was nothing to miss out on" rather than engage in genuine intellectual curiosity and humility by revisiting their decision, and this is leading you to invest an inordinately large amount of time dismissing a technology you have made an inordinately small amount of time trying to understand. When someone of your standing in the field of economics talks so dismissively about a domain they have spent so little time seeking to understand, it does not weaken that domain, rather it weakened 1. your reputation 2. people's general trust in economists 3. the extend to which we esteem people in society with the title "professor" If you want to continue to erode the reputation of all three, you are welcome to do so. Bitcoin does not care. Bitcoin miners will continue to stabilize grids, monetize wasted renewable energy, mitigate methane, obviate the need for gas peaker plants with or without you. But if you ever decide to re-allocate a small fraction of the hours you have spend dismissing Bitcoin mining into understanding how the technology works that you are dismissing, I would be more than happy to connect you to any number of utilities, renewable energy experts, methane mitigation specialists, climate scientists, climatetech investors or battery engineers who can explain to you why Bitcoin is an essential part of solving the exact issues you claim to care about.

Ireland pays 35c/kWh — among the world's highest. We curtail 10-12% of renewables and pay for it twice. There's a proven fix that costs the taxpayer nothing. Ireland has zero of it. This needs to change. Have a read 👇 bitcoinnetwork.ie/irelands-energ…
