Interesting. And how long do these modern cables last for? What are the upkeep costs? Insurance? And how much value do they add? Of course these bits get left out and of course your data would come from a twitter bro lol. Glad I left that burning valley at my back. If you read my original post, you'd know there was a reason I started off by mentioning the first transatlantic cable—which was completed nearly 170 years ago. Cable laying ships, routes, and cables themselves have advanced quite a bit, nearly perfected. Imagine an idiot telling you in 1858 that telegraph cables were a scam, or in 1992 that internet cables would never get laid across oceans because trust me bro, they're too costly. How has that worked out? Now we're supposed to believe grid interconnectors are a scam because trust me bro, they don't work. Please see the numerous examples and links from my post of either completed projects, projects being built, or projects in planning. I left out at least a dozen more. There seems to be a difference between what I hear on twitter, and what I see in the real world. Going to trust my eyes, the data, and follow the money on this one.

Embodied energy is a technical term. Computing things precisely is one thing and disputing the method and exact number is one thing, but you are denying the mathematical foundations of how things actually work. How things actually work is the basis of chemical engineering.

You go on to spout a bunch of word salad based on your FEELINGS because that is the only domain you know how to operate in. This was always confusing to me, but I have come to accept there are humans who are neurally wired in a way they are incapable of separating logical, numerical thoughts from their feelings.

People like you are extremely harmful and dangerous on a fiat standard when arrogant lunatics are able to violently impose their deranged feelings upon other. The incredible thing about Bitcoin is it renders lunatics like you harmless. After the transition, you will only be able to hurt yourself by making yourself poorer.

I suspect you will be unable to humble yourself. Alas, people like you becoming poorer means we may have capital misallocation persist a few decades after fiat dies in which all of you fools become broke (or humble later).

Fundamentally, you are a grifter and probably have a fake job that has conditioned you to believe your feelings and words are relevant or productive in the real world, and your employer's money printer access has allowed them to do this and subsidize your delusions.
