Don't agree with Grok here. Iran stops mining. Mined supply shrinks. Bitcoin at its current price is not economical to mine outside of Iran really. Prices should rise from reduced mined supply from Iran until it reaches profitability from production cost.

Mining companies are dropping like flies to get in on AI infrastructure and data centers. It's an 'easy' conversion for them.


Also, how much capacity does Iran have to mine Bitcoin? 95% is already in circulation


Why would Iran stop mining bitcoin? We think our strikes are really going to target and eliminate ~30% or more of their utility infrastructure? Isn't that what we're criticizing Russia for?

I don't believe that in Midnight Hammer there was a single US Tanker stationed in Israel.

This is today at Ben Gurion Airport near Jerusalem:

Does anyone know if they have a screen telling them what to chant? There must be something. Just seems surprising that they basically start in unison and know what to chant, even though it is at least somewhat different on each occasion.

the BoP that Rubio again confirmed to Senate just now that it is focused on Gaza rebuild. If investments indeed happen in Gaza, then you can see potential for "westernized" revitalization of some of these areas.

How? Currency collapse, huge poverty rate, unemployment, water resource mismanagement and on and on. Throwing more money at them hasn't worked.

If you remove Hamas from the equation, things can actually change.

Trump's idea to use part of the land as a resort town is actually not a terrible idea. If you get security that is tight enough, and all of the hotels and security forces are owned by, let's say, Turkey and US private companies, then you can start to make a lot of Gaza residents jealous of the mad cash that the non-terrorist Arabs are making parking cars.

Basically, you just take over part of Gaza and turn it into a commercial zone with lots of security, and raise up some Arabs that are actually willing to drop their hate in want to have a better life.

The key is that you don't let any decisions on what goes on there to be made by Arabs. Or Jews, for that matter.

^^^ the rest of that Tweet:

Quote:
At 10:24 this morning, Friday February 27, the United States Ambassador to Israel emailed his own staff and told them to leave the country today.

Not next week. Not when convenient. Today.

Mike Huckabee, the man Donald Trump personally appointed to represent America in Israel, sent an email to every embassy employee in Jerusalem telling them that anyone wishing to depart should book "any available flight" and leave Israeli soil before the day ends. The embassy has shifted to "authorized departure" status, meaning the US government will pay for nonessential personnel and their families to evacuate. The New York Times obtained the email. The timestamp is 10:24 AM local time. The language says "no need to panic." The action says panic.

When an ambassador tells his own people to leave the country he is assigned to, he is not managing risk. He is clearing the blast radius.

Authorized departure is the second-to-last step on the State Department's crisis escalation ladder. The only step above it is ordered departure, which is mandatory evacuation. The United States has not reached ordered departure. But at 10:24 this morning it reached the step directly below it, and the ambassador personally urged speed.

Now hold this against what happened in the last 72 hours.

Wednesday, Geneva. Six and a half hours of talks. Araghchi called it the most serious session yet. The Wall Street Journal reported the US and Iran remain far apart on every core issue. Iran refused permanent zero enrichment. America refused anything less.

Thursday, 37 advanced combat aircraft landed at RAF Lakenheath in a single day. 12 F-35As. 14 F-15E Strike Eagles. Additional F-22s. The staging base that funneled the first wave of Raptors to Israel is now reloading with strike aircraft carrying 23,000 pounds of ordnance each.

Friday morning, the ambassador tells his people to leave.

Wednesday you negotiate. Thursday you reload. Friday you evacuate your own embassy.

That is not a sequence of unrelated events. That is a countdown visible to anyone reading the timestamps.

Huckabee's email went out five hours ago. Tomorrow, Saturday February 28, Oman's Foreign Minister meets Vice President Vance in Washington carrying Tehran's response to Geneva. Technical talks are nominally scheduled for Vienna next week. But you do not tell your embassy staff to leave today if you believe next week's talks will happen in a world that looks like this one.

The email says "make plans sooner rather than later." Ambassadors are trained to communicate in precise diplomatic language where every word is calibrated. "Sooner rather than later" from a political appointee who does not speak in euphemism means the window for safe commercial departure is closing and he knows approximately when it closes.

India told its citizens to leave Iran. Germany told citizens in Israel to prepare for airspace closures. Beirut's US embassy began evacuating. And now America's own ambassador in Jerusalem is telling his own staff to get out of the country he represents.

Everyone with classified briefing access is moving in the same direction. Toward the exit.

Today. Not Monday. Not after Vienna. Today, Friday February 27.

The people who know what is coming are not waiting to find out. They are already on planes.

The only people still debating whether this is real are the ones without the clearance to read what Huckabee read before he typed that email at 10:24 am this morning.

where they have their chants and someone leads the chants.

pretty sure the meeting with the Omani simp for Iran and Vance was today

the shill put up photos of him with Vance on his twitter claiming OF COURSE that huge progress was made

as the Arabs will always claim when faced with consequences.

it is ALWAYS "great progress being made" which somehow just keeps being dragged out for 47 years.

I suspect that they spend a good part of their time in schools teaching them the Koran, and what to chant at compulsory public demonstrations.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan and parts of the Shia and Sunni world it's called the

MADRASSAH

they literally sit and learn the koran and the Hadith 8 hours a day for their entire lives

and not much else.

which is why much of Afghanistan and Pakistan still resemble the 8th century

I lived down the street from one in West Houston until about 3 years ago. I suspect their curriculum was quite a bit different since they were Dawoodi Bohra muslims. But I will say, we had almost zero petty crime of the type typically done by teenaged kids in the 25 years we lived there.

Spoiler alert; it did.

Now we just have to see how quickly/if the Iranian people can take the opportunity to mobilize themselves, and I guess a few more questions.

We might be within a week of this guy flying into Tehran.

Iranian women were already seen taking off hijabs and dancing in the streets as to the 'humanitarian intervention.' But, also a mass exodus/traffic jam leaving Tehran.

According to the Washington Post it is on as Israel and US airstrikes are hitting targets in Iran.
