The Bitaxe, Explained: The Open-Source Bitcoin Miner Anyone Can Run

Is Bitcoin Mining Worth It in 2026? Home vs. Hosted, Honestly

Bitcoin Is Ringing the Fiscal Alarm
I think the people dunking on Bessent are missing the plot. Washington is laying stablecoin rails while ARMA points toward bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Broadcom is raising $100B through an off-balance sheet SPV structure to finance AI chip infrastructure. "It just lowers the bar to financing what is required for AI infrastructure at scale."
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig: "Compute is essentially a digital oil. Some have called it the gasoline of the technological revolution. We've got to have these markets here."
Dave Portnoy: "Clench your butt cheeks, hold your nose, and buy Bitcoin. I don't think Bitcoin's dead. I think too many people are in it."

Small business hiring intentions just posted the largest monthly jump on record. 20% of small business owners plan to hire in the next 3 months, highest since October 2022 and nearly double the historical average of 11%. Small firms account for ~46% of all private sector jobs. This indicator has historically led payrolls by 3-6 months.

~3.5% of GDP projected for AI buildout over 2025-2032. For context, that is nearly double the railroad boom.

Calley Means says the era of blindly deferring to top-down health "experts" is over. "The top companies pitching and getting money are saying, we're going to put doctors out of business. We are going to fundamentally take a sledgehammer and recreate the medical system."

Morgan Stanley projects China's humanoid robot market will grow from ~$2 billion to $15 billion by 2030, with annual shipments jumping from 50,000 to 446,000 units. Unitree Robotics, China's first listed humanoid company, surged 460% on day one. The real play may be the component suppliers behind every joint, motor, and sensor.
River built a simulator TUI to fuzz test every possible transaction scenario during their ledger upgrade.
CFTC Chairman Mike Selig: “We’ve crossed the Rubicon and are standing at a new frontier of finance.” “It’s not a question of whether innovations like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and prediction markets will transform our markets. It’s a question of where this innovation will take place and who will write the rules.” x.com/ChairmanSelig/…

New investigation from @_whitneywebb and @markgoodw_in on Unlimited Hangout. Behind OpenAI's Stargate Argentina is a company called Sur Energy, led by Emiliano Kargieman, dubbed "Argentina's Elon Musk." His previous venture, the satellite surveillance firm Satellogic, has deep ties to Palantir, the Trump administration, and U.S. intelligence agencies, and "is due to enable within the next year what was once Palantir's most implausible ambition: predictive policing of the entire planet in real time via AI-powered satellite surveillance, i.e. total information awareness." Milei's government has rolled out the red carpet for Silicon Valley. The Financial Times reported he "invite[d] AI to free itself" and proposed allowing "AI-run companies with no humans involved to operate in his country." One adviser in his inner circle, Demian Riedel, "has controversially argued that humans are, in fact, Argentina's biggest problem, particularly in Argentine Patagonia, because they present an obstacle to AI infrastructure and development in the region." Kargieman himself has admitted "Stargate Argentina is not about bringing jobs to locals, but about generating dollars." He's also suggested OpenAI may not be the ultimate end user, hinting the AI firm could collapse under "the inevitable popping of an AI debt bubble." unlimitedhangout.com/2026/08/invest…
