Troy Cross and Bitcoin Bassload Treble + Bass = Energy Grid Harmony   In this electrifying episode of BitBuyBit, Max and Jon speak with energy market expert and Pleb Miner Mafia Capo, Bitcoin Bassload as well as Philosopher and Bitcoin enthusiast Troy Cross from the Bitcoin Policy Institute.   The relationship between Bitcoin mining and the American energy industry is complex, nuanced, wrought with acronyms, oversight, and regulation. The purpose of this conversation is to find where we agree and disagree on the relationship between Bitcoin mining and the energy industry and what we as Pleb Miners can do when our energy is focused and pointed in the same direction. Troy and Bassload come from different perspectives when looking at the relationship between Bitcoin mining and energy, but their hearts and minds are focused on making sure that Bitcoin wins.   In this discussion Bassload defines terms like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO), and Independent Systems Operators (ISO) and explains how regulation and government policy steer energy markets. He discusses the Physical Grid versus Policy Grid, balancing authorities, generation fleet mix, and Meredith Angwin’s fatal trifecta for the grid: over reliance on renewables, backing up the renewables with just in time resources, and overdependence on neighbors. Bassload offers advice on creating relationships with energy providers: 1. Print the load 2. Pay an invoice. Bitcoin Bassload’s Energy Market Inflows can be found on his Substack in which he puts out frequent updates.    Troy discusses the unique characteristics of Bitcoin mining and its relationship with energy, particularly in the context of environmentalism and regulatory arbitrage. He highlights that Bitcoin's decentralized nature and algorithmically fixed production makes it resistant to local regulations and taxes. His point in conveying this, is that Bitcoin mining can take advantage of excess energy in regions with corrupt governments, it can bypass restrictions, and potentially disrupt the energy market. The discussion emphasizes that Bitcoin's fundamental value is tied to the cost of energy rather than fiat currency. Over the long term, government regulations and subsidies may not significantly impact Bitcoin mining, or its adoption. Troy expands on this theory in this recent article.   Treble and Bass = Grid Harmony   Terms and Definitions   FERC- FERC was originally called the Federal Power Commission to then become the Federal Regulatory Commission created on October 1 1977. The FPA was originally designed to coordinate federal hydropower development (in 1920) then in 1935 it was given the independent regulatory status to then regulate both hydropower and electricity.  Then in 1938 the natural gas act gave FPA jurisdiction over interstate NG pipelines and wholesale sales.  FERC was created due to a response to the oil crisis of 1973 and thus passing the Department of Energy Organization act of 1977 in an effort to consolidate agencies into a ‘department of energy’. DOE was born.  Congress insisted that the independent regulatory body be retained. FERC originally was to determine whether wholesale electricity prices were unjust and unreasonable  If so regulate the pricing and give some refunds to ratepayers FERC an independent organization that its commissioners are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate Order 888 was issued in 1996 which created the RTO’s (regional transmission organizations) in response to the Energy Policy Act in 1992.       RTO’s- Organized by FERC to have what were the former power pools to ‘rebrand’ themselves as independent transmission operators that would be able to compete in a wholesale electric market administered by RTO’s.  PJM, NYISO and ISONE were first in line. Like an ISO they operate transmission systems and develop innovative procedures to manage transmission equitably.    ISO’s- Independent System Operators were designed to consolidate and manage the operation of transmission facilities to provide nondiscriminatory open transmission service for all generators and transmission customers.   Traditional wholesale markets were in the SE, SW and NW and most were vertically integrated where they own generation, transmission and distribution systems to serve electricity consumers.  They also many include federal systems: Bonneville Power System Tennessee Valley Authority Western Area Power Administration   At the wholesale level, the RTO’s and the ISO’s is managing economic dispatch of generators and its auctions to the clearing price.  Less expensive power gets dispatched first.  RTO controls the bids, they know the cost of fuel, and they know the marginal cost of the next kwh your generator plant makes.  One can add a risk premium to the bids but the RTO’s are checking. (Meredith Angwin)    TYPES of RTO’s and ISO’s CAISO- California Independent System Operator ERCOT- Electric Reliability Council of Texas SPP- SouthWest Power Pool MISO- Midcontinent Independent System Operator (15 states and canadian province of Manitoba)  SouthEast Power Pool PJM- Pennsylvania New Jersey and Maryland NYISO New York Independent System Operator ISONE Independent System operator of New England    Vertically integrated- this is where the same entity owns all of the generation, transmission and distribution to service electricity consumers in the given region that they are in.   PUC’s- Public Utility Commission were designed to do a couple of things: Balance the needs of consumers AND utilities  Ensure safe and reliable utility service at reasonable rates Protect public interest Educate consumers to make independent and informed utility choices Typically the PUC’s were designed for the consumer, but they are also heavily “in bed’ with the utilities Regulate electric, gas, telecommunications, water and wastewater facilities Typically appointed by the governor serving 4-6 year terms. Typically regulate all investor owned utilities in their state Municipalities and cooperative utilities are often exempt from PUC regulations    PUCs often use non-adjudicatory processes to address new and evolving issues. This would include traditional rulemakings, in addition to informal stakeholder collaborative processes. Over the past decade, the stakeholder process has become one of the mainstays of issue resolution. In these proceedings, professional facilitators are often used and the parties work toward a narrowing of issues or their complete resolution through a negotiated or shared agreement. Typical participants include utilities, ratepayer advocates, environmental advocates, and industry advocates.    Load Shape- the amount of energy consumption one uses, measured in watts or kilowatts over a period of time.  When looking at the curve of how that energy is consumed, the shape of that curve is what is monitored.  If flat, good.  If not and seeing spikes means that the shape is inconsistent with the amount of watts consumed over time   BTU- A British Thermal Unit, the base unit of measure for measuring energy in the US.  a btu is the amount of energy required to heat one pound of water    Joule- joule, unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI); it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre. Named in honour of the English physicist James Prescott Joule, it equals 107 ergs, or approximately 0.7377 foot-pounds.   Watt- the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second, corresponding to the power in an electric circuit in which the potential difference is one volt and the current one ampere. 1 watt = 1J/s   Baseload- Baseload electricity generation creates 24/7 power to the grid to meet the base energy needs of the U.S. While peaking generation must follow the varying hourly electricity needs as demand rises and falls, base load generation operates constantly to support the increment of demand that is always there no matter the time of day or day of the week. https://energytransition.nema.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/NEMA-QuickFacts-Baseloadgeneration.pdf   Balancing Authority- The BA makes sure that the supply of power on the grid is exactly matched with the requirement for power always.  The BA must keep voltage within a narrow range and balance demand on the grid.  The BA must also make sure that the VARs (Volts Amps Reactive) are in balance. Refer to page 28-30 of shorting the grid.  “A well run grid is like a good bicyclist on a smooth road, while a more difficult grid (more sudden ups and downs in power or energy requirements) requires more of a balancing-type energy (Meredith Angwin).  60Hz or 60 cycles per second in the US 50HZ or 50 cycles per second everywhere else The responsible entity that integrates resource plans ahead of time, maintains load-interchange-generation balance within a balancing authority area, and supports interconnection frequency in real time.   Energy Auction House- mentioned above and see pages of Mereidth Angwins book shorting the grid pages 91-93   Generation Fleet Mix Nuclear  Coal Natural Gas Oil Hydro Solar Wind Geothermal   Renewable energy- Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil. (DOE definition) energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. "the environmental benefits of renewable energy" (Oxford Dictionary)   Net Zero- net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbed from the atmosphere, by oceans and forests for instance. To ‘go net zero’ is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or to ensure that any ongoing emissions are balanced by removals. (university of oxford) REC- Renewable Energy Credits A renewable energy certificate, or REC (pronounced: rěk, like wreck), is a market-based instrument that represents the property rights to the environmental, social, and other non-power attributes of renewable electricity generation. RECs are issued when one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity is generated and delivered to the electricity grid from a renewable energy resource. RECs include several data attributes, including:* Certificate data Certificate type Tracking system ID Renewable fuel type Renewable facility location Nameplate capacity of project Project name Project vintage (build date) Certificate (generation) vintage Certificate unique identification number Utility to which project is interconnected Eligibility for certification or renewable portfolio standard (RPS) Emissions rate of the renewable resource *Note: This list is not exhaustive and, depending on the market in which the REC is generated, other attributes may be associated with the certificate   Three buckets  o   financial- everything to do with pricing, hedging, derivative markets for energy, from wholesale to retail  o   physical- infrastructure related, engineering and design of the implementation and installation of large equipment o   regulatory- politics, rules and regulation from governing bodies aka FERC, DOE, PUC, ISO, RTO and alike.   We hope this to be the first of many discussions on Bitcoin’s relationship with energy markets and energy providers.

New bitcoin are issued by the Bitcoin network every 10 minutes. For the first four years of Bitcoin's existence, the amount of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes was 50. Every four years, this number is cut in half. The day the amount halves is called a "halving" or "halvening" or better than those two the “halfinning”   In 2012, the number of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25. In 2016, it dropped from 25 to 12.5. In the most recent May 11, 2020 halving, the reward dropped from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC per block.   Next halfinning is estimated to occur April 17, 2024, the reward will drop from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.   2012 Halving The 2012 block halving was the first halving and happened on November 28th, 2012.  From 50 BTC per block to 25 BTC per block Price on Halving Day: $12.35 Price 150 Days Later: $127.00   2016 Halving The second halving occurred on July 9th, 2016. 25 BTC per block to 12.5 BTC per block Price on Halving Day: $650.63 Price 150 Days Later: $758.81   2020 Halving The third halving occurred on May 11, 2020. 12.5 BTC per block to 6.25 BTC per block Price on Halving Day: $8821.42 Price 150 Days Later: $10,943.00   Global Hashrate Global Hashrate - on the day of the first halving was about 24 TH but a year later jumped to 4,837 TH. 20054% increase. 266% increase. On halving number 2 July 9th 2016 Hashrate was at 1.5 million TH but a year later jumped to 5.5 million, that’s a 266% increase. Halving number 3 was May 2020 120 million TH or 120 EH. A year later global hashrate jumped to 163 million TH or 163 EH. Over the 3 years from then until August 1 of 2023 it jumped to 380 something EH 133% increase.   Boty Joke: How does a lemon answer the phone, yellow.   Bitesize Bitcoin by FixRigs When in need of repair please visit them at FixRigs.com or on X @FixRigs.

Why does @DeAngelisCorey dedicate his time to exposing the lies and contradictions of the leaders of today's education system and teacher's union? How can @DeAngelisCorey help teachers trapped in a toxic system gain more control over their lives to make the difference they hope to achieve when teaching? What can parents do to bring educational decisions back to the family and protect their kids from being exposed to unnecessary pressures?

Pleb Miner Monthly Episode 8   Just like Marionettes, Max and Jon Swing to the Symphony… of the NPC nightmare we’re currently living in, yes yes yes, Bitcoin so good.   The phenomenon is called NPC streaming. A nym named “X-Nardo” (@PepenardoStudio) describes it as a “digital landscape where individuals transform into virtual marionettes, controlled by the whims of their audience” kind of like when people put absurd messages in FountainFM Boosts and force Max and Jon to scream “Baaaaaaarrrnnnnminer” and such (It’s okay, we like it, yes yes yes, Boosts so good).   Statistics are brought to you by Lincoin Mining and their suite of products. Medi and the Lincoin Mining Team crushed it at Mining Disrupt, faces were melted, Boty is pleased. 5 EH/s SOON.    BOTY joke What did the shovel say to his friend on the beach? Are you okay? You're looking a bit pail.   Bitesize Bitcoin is brought to you by Peach Bitcoin Peach Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer (P2P), Pleb 2 Pleb exchange platform that allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin directly with each other.  When you sell Bitcoin on Peach, you're giving other Plebs the opportunity to get their hands on bona fide bitcoin, not a KYC’ed IOU from an exchange.   The 8 Forms of Capital are Social, Material, Financial, Living, Cultural, Experiential, Intellectual, and perhaps most importantly, Spiritual Capital. These are not just principles that apply to permaculture, homesteading, or permaculture design, but can be applied to any endeavor, such as mining.    This concept was brought to the Meshtadel group by Karl. Please zap Karl on NOSTR if you get a chance for all his incredible content. We will post his npub on Twitter or the Meshtadel nostr.   ACTION NEWS! is brought to you by the Lake Satoshi Bitcoin Beach Retreat  You can see the grassroots expression of Bitcoin freedom on display in a wide variety of mediums.  From point-of-sale systems to miner de-hydrators.  You will hear from El Salvadoran Plebs as they exclaim the freedom, hope and opportunity Bitcoin is providing the people of that nation. The event is about supporting projects like Bitcoin Beach and Hope House Casa Esperanza where they empower young leaders using education and technology, recreation, spirituality, and community support. As well as Mi Primer Bitcoin where they teach El Salvadorans impartial Bitcoin fundamentals. Attend the event and submit a silent auction bid on an S19 J Pro 96T, donated by Kaboomracks Alex and equipped with Nakamoto Mining fan shrouds, Pivotal Pleb Tech Njord Board, and an AC Infinity Cloudline fan. Proceeds go to support the El Salvador projects.   In this installment of ACTION NEWS we cover:  Nico Smid’s H1 of 2023 mining update. Nico Smid’s sub stack  Energy Market Update by Energy Expert Bitcoin Bassload, lovingly read to some sweet sweet jazz guitar. You should be nowhere near a miner if you don’t understand how your electricity is priced or you generate the power yourself. That kickflip, it nice. Bitcoin Bassload  Be sure to change your password on Whatsminers before you attempt to enable API. And don’t forget to give ol Baaaarrrnnminer a shout on Fountain.
