Pumped for the opportunity to deliver a Masterclass at Lugano Plab B Forum this year!
My presentation is titled:
Hashrate Markets: Hashrate's evolution from technical metric to asset class.
We will explore markets in hashrate swaps, forwards, insurance, and gain a deep understanding of how these tools are enabling miners to manage risks and increase P&L stability through-cycle.

My daughter Olivia learned to turn her Monopoly money into bitcoin with a Salvadoran-engineered bitcoin ATM by @k1elsalvador 🇸🇻.
I cannot stress enough how irrelevant today's geriatric tradfi adoption hurdles will seem in retrospect to a fully digitally-native generation like my daughter's.
Incredibly bullish. https://nostr.build/av/afef64c7eddec14fcac440df7599b10c5b968a22be961397cd1f8739903a7a47.mov

I want everyone to listen to the US Ambassador @USEmbassySV's extended remarks about what's happening in El Salvador.
The Ambassador's remarks are important for a US audience to understand, as so many folks have only just started to pay attention to what's going on there.

El Salvador recently passed the Law for the Promotion of Innovation and Technology Manufacturing.
Who does it apply to, and what are its benefits?
The law applies to all companies in:
- information systems
- software
- technology management, maintenance, and consulting
- cybersecurity solutions
- 'big data' analytics
- artificial intelligence
- cloud computing services
Additionally, companies that specialize in:
- computer hardware manufacturing
- robotics
- nanotechnology
- technology parts assembly
What are the incentives for these companies?
- income tax exemption
- municipal tax exemption
- capital gains tax exemption
- import tariff exemption
These exemptions will be in place for _fifteen years_.
These benefits will apply to both natural persons and corporations domiciled in El Salvador; to Salvadoran nationals as well as foreigners.
There will be no minimum investment requirements to qualify for these benefits.
All this will position El Salvador as a hub of innovation in the region, catapulting the local economy and creating many opportunities.
The future is in El Salvador 🇸🇻🔥

They're not being persecuted, and they're not going to stop reporting on El Salvador.
As they said in the press release, they are choosing to move their legal and administrative functions to Costa Rica.
These are not civil liberties crack downs, these are business decisions.

As far as El Faro goes, they were founded and are fun by two wealthy establishment figures from the AREN party whose 25-year old newspaper business has lost relevancy with Salvadorans.
El Faro is no different from partisan news outlets in America funded by billionaires with a political and economic agenda. An "independent" paper it is not.
They're making a business decision, not getting kicked out of the country or living 'in exile' which is a *rich* way to describe the fact that Salvadorans don't value what El Faro sells.
It's as simple as that.

I think Open Veins of Latin America is a great, complete, country-by-country accounting of Latin America starting well back before colonization. At once infuriating and inspiring to learn such specific details of the people who played the roles of oppressors, revolutionary leaders, and everything in between.
It also does a great job of explaining the wide array of waves of immigration from each Latin American countries to the US. Every country's story is so unique.

Mi Primer Bitcoin and New Story have (or are working forward) receiving hashrate donations from miners. Essentially a hashrate donation is a pledge of X amount of hash power for Y amount of time. Miners can also donate ASICs and this go from donating satsflow to donating cash flowing assets.
It's a tough time to fundraise from miners who are out there fighting for their lives, but the idea of hashrate donations or ASIC donations is one that I think can really help nonprofits get out from under the business model that necessitates wealthy cantillionaires to fund it in the first place.
