This is a very global thing, had this in Dubai last week.
"So you're telling me you can't come pick me up but you're not canceling? I'll just stay on this trip as long as you want my man"
Okok It's my 40th birthday and I've been sober for 21 of those. Life is awesome. Had a party with my best people. Here's me rapping a part of one of Iceland's biggest hip hop artists songs while he stands on a table and listens. Never stop never stopping friends ❤️
OK wow, for once when the China "FUD" is real, this should be super BULLISH for Bitcoin. If mining stops in China, we'll probably teleport directly to the high 90% of renewable energy on the network.
The seriousness of news is def more so than normal China FUD, can be material
1. It’s direct order from the state department
2. It’s emphasized by VP of PRC
In China policy’s execution and impact really matters on where the order is from and who announced it to the public
Don't tweet much about this as it's only open for accredited investors in Iceland, but today news broke that our fund, Viska Digital Assets, was the best performing investment fund for the second year in a row. It started in July 2022 so that's 2/2.
So proud of this awesome team!
I assume the SEC has never in its existence had to deal with such a large group of technically capable, constantly online people. Their site is probably being scraped to the level of a DDoS attack right now.
Bloomberg came to Iceland to cover Bitcoin mining and I got to say a few words on why our industry is not the enemy of the environment many have claimed it to be.
Iceland runs almost entirely on renewable energy, which Bitcoin miners have been buying to power data centers.
But environmentalists worry the demands will result in more power plants, which could damage unique ecosystems

Honestly one of the most baffling situations in the world. I have no idea how people can watch these events and somehow justify them by saying it's complicated or some other BS. One country grows while the other is slowly disappearing and everyone just goes "it's complicated".

Last Sunday marked 21 years of sobriety for me. In the earlier stages of my life I was headed absolutely nowhere. Tweeting this as I lie in a couch in my company's new offices. I have a family and I employ and provide value to a number of people in this world. Feels amazing. ❤️
You can flex a lot of things in life but proof of work is probably the highest form so here's mine:
Today I finished two Spartan races in the Swiss alps in the same day. As a non-runner I'm super proud and I did it with an awesome group of people. Life is good.
@DigiEconomist
You're just deliberately hanging on to arguments that have been thoroughly debunked at this stage.
There are always things that could be improved and I think for someone in your position it's important to evaluate where your energy is best used.

Proud of my daughter who won gold with her team at a tournament this week.
What I'm most proud of though:
She brings her A game to every single match. Never quits, is tough as nails and makes a difference in every match she plays.
The type of winner you'd want on any team 💪❤️
I haven't been very active on here as I've been working. Full time crypto. Building stuff. Making deals. I believe so firmly in this space and the past few months have held a certain level of validation. I hope you guys held or built through the rough too.
Iceland generates extra renewable energy.
Factories can not use it.
Greenhouse gardens can not use it.
Households can not use it.

mining is using the excess geothermal and hydroelectric energy, helping balance the growing electrical grid.
@zGuz
Those are most definitely faulty units. Each one is worth a couple of thousand dollars fully working so if they defaulted and bailed they wouldn't have left those about 🤷♂️
We just announced our latest project which will be Iceland's first digital asset fund. Initially only for "accredited" investors but I'm super proud of being a part of pushing my home country towards the future.

120 on the bench this morning (stopped there as I hurt my shoulder last week) followed by some rope tugs when I got home of course.
Me and the chairman hope you had a good start to your day, now get after it!

and Bloomberg did a very professional and ultimately positive coverage on mining in Iceland where we got to explain why it's not the enemy many have tried to claim.

I keep talking about this and it seems not many have realized it. Even people in startup communities go "really?". Massive influx of capital to this industry, particularly in '17-'18 means some very cool stuff is being built out there.
I haven't tested this yet but we'll probably see a bump in

Hah, reading this is funny. I've been sober for 20 years and I moved out of Ireland (back to Iceland) 10 years ago! Happy for you, god jul mand!
We did some deadlifts today!
I was never a sports guy. In 2012, I stumbled into a gym called Boot Camp Iceland that taught me about not quitting. About how my body can always go further than my mind. This taught me perseverance and has had a massive impact on my whole life.

Institutional money is not buying on the markets which is why we have had a full year of positive news and progress but no positive effect on prices.
Guys, during these days of blood don't forget there are many opportunities out there. I strongly suggest reading up on security tokens and STOs. This is the next big thing.

It's just so crazy how these people find it perfectly reasonable to place an entirely different set of expectations and rules on this whole industry.

Me: feeling strong, 16kg added weight on the pull up.
Friend (F), who is doing the same workout and weighs ca 68kg: "why are you using the same added weight as me?"
Me: repeats the set with an added 8kg for 24kg total. ❤️🔥
