Currencies around the world

[Neighbor]

Hi all, 

I see that USA presidential candidate Donald Trump has attended the recent Bitcoin Conference, stating to the audience that he wants to expand capacity for Cyber currency, which requires massive amounts of constant electrical energy, by his "ordering" the building of more fossil fuel electric power generating plants. 

Expanding Block chain is also a stand of candidate RFK Jr. along with expansion of AI technology.

I do wonder about the many parcels of land and the right of way for electric power lines that are required  for Blockchain/crypto mines. I wonder about the noise generated at these facilities that  make surrounding lands uninhabitable too.

Like it or not it is here already, and is expanding taking up to  a full 20% of the capacity power plants have to generate electricity today. Power plans are also giving contracts that make crypto mines the number one priority for power plants. If there is a shortage all else gets shut down before any crypto mine is shutdown.

As these little parcels of land (All being purchased by Crypto mine companies) scattered about come online to serve the crypto industry more and more right of way for extensive overhead power lines are seen stringing through the landscape too. The land for them taken  by eminent domain evidently.

States and communities are already at odds with each other  as to who will control noise and land use, with States of the USA one by one passing laws that prevent local control of land use, paving the way for the expanding of Crypto mines. 

 I do wonder, a mere speculation- is this the manner in which all currencies will fail and bring about something entirely new as the one world currency to come? Seems this is the time of the signs in so many ways.

As the climate does seem to be getting warmer everywhere, I speculate on how far north might I need migrate, myself, in order to survive the heat's effects. And then I see Canada burning, the West coast of the USA burning, all as yellow Sahara dust falls on my car at Florida. There is either smoke, soot, dust, or just plain violent stormy weather hitting most everywhere it seems.

The world is smaller it seems, one person's fire is another person's choking dust, and smoke, across vast stretches of earth's surfaces. Perhaps all the more reason to be urgently bold in sharing of our Lord and savior Yeshua ( Jesus) with family, friend, stranger, and even enemy. That many may be found mature in Christ at Jesus' return.

Currencies will not matter a whole lot when one has nothing to be able to buy  or sell. Currency of choice will be desperate prayer to God.

You can stay here if you want, but I'm going to be with Jesus...  It'll be nice and cool there.

I'm probably be three steps ahead of you, yet I have privilege and responsibility to provide for those I love that will likely be around this world a tad longer than me. 

ps- God is with us now, is He not?

I don't think any of us born again's will be here long enough for the heat to bother.

[Neighbor]

Ha, guess I could pretend my house windows are not fogged up  even now from the humidity and heat, and that I am running ac 24/7. Haven't opened a window  since, ... ?, well not in this decade anyway.

The heat is so oppressive that I cannot do more than a very few minutes of yard work in any one day. It'll make one dizzy in just minutes. Maybe I'm just geting old. All I know is like the man said when his horse dropped dead, "Never did that before".

Clouds form billowing upward from the ground to become as tall as five miles high. Then begins the  show with lightning blasting the trees, killing the old fifty foot tall oaks, the ground swells and jumps with each hit sparks and flames sprout out of the ground while many inches of rain just fills the air as the winds pick up to a near howl.

Then quickly it is over and the pressure cooker heats up again, the windows fog as we check to see what damage has been done.  Yep, I am getting  tired of it. It isn't fun anymore.

ps added later; I am beginning to think there is no pre tribulation rapture as we seem to be deeper into near mid tribulation already. Maybe the post tribs have it right, or maybe there is no rapture at all.

So, what are we to do?  Flee to the mountains and get off of the grid or rush to the frontline to render aid and spread the Word?  Those choices are both legitimate commands.

Like any new technology, it will have problems, and politicians get their hand in the peoples pocket book.
The noise problem/solution is already under work...Had to look up just what was currency "noise"

    "It's the sound of 17,000 computer fans in a bitcoin facility".....(Oh:)

"Cryptocurrency is making lots of noise, literally"

"Bryant figured that bitcoin mining would be good for the state, but there were some unintended consequences. "What we found is that operators started operating in a manner that was not giving quiet enjoyment to the neighbors." He points out that not all bitcoin plants are noisy.

Arkansas Bitcoin miner Ben Smith says that mining plants can be very quiet – cooled by water instead of fans, built far from residential areas, and fully enclosed, rather than open-air. "I would say roughly probably half the sites in Arkansas are owned by the per se bad actors," said Smith. "It's all about design and, honestly, how much money you're gonna put in to be a good neighbor or good actor."

So, who's building all of those cheap, noisy plants? Senator Bryant says it's a web of Chinese companies, with ties all the way to the Chinese government. The New York Times reports that Chinese bitcoin mines are now running in at least 14 states.

Across U.S., Chinese bitcoin mines draw national security scrutiny (New York Times)

But the Chinese government isn't the only invisible hand here. The "right to mine" bill itself was drafted by a bitcoin advocacy group, the Satoshi Action Fund, that's pushing similar bills in at least 12 other states.

In Arkansas, even Senator Bryant concedes that his bill needs fixing. "We are looking at a state law that will, you know, ultimately require these crypto operations to not generate noise," he said.

Meanwhile, Gladys Anderson and her neighbors are suing. "We've set up a GoFundMe; we've done some raffles," she said. "We most recently sold smoked pork butts."

The Bono plant's lawyers say that the volume is within local limits, and said in a statement to "CBS Sunday Morning" that "Our client is currently developing design plans to fully enclose the site … within a matter of months."

Thanks for posting that article!

Plus what  is a present problem is the electric energy providers are happy to sell their excess energy production capacity and make the mines an absolute priority.  So when it gets cold as in freezing weather the major power supplying company is now going to rolling black outs for residential and other commercial users to make sure those cyber mine computers keep running on those new power lines installed for them as pure lines. All the while old transformers and old poles go bad  that power businesses and residences..

And this is just the beginning of the demand for MORE POWER!  Both KennedyJr and now Trump are for  rapid development  of more Crypto mines as a serious economy booster, While I believe the Biden administration was more cautious and perhaps even against it all.

Regardless it is here and spreading. I have backed out of buying real estate in areas near any land bought by Crypto companies. Hard to tell where they might buy next. Even in downtown Tampa for example, as one is building a facility right now.

Makes considering a Generac Generator a much higher on the list of needs item, least for me.
