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

Best Bitcoin Mining Hosting Companies (2026): Who to Trust With Your Miner

AI Just Got 10x More Efficient. It Will Need More Power.
Vera Rubin produced up to 10x more DeepSeek-R1 tokens per megawatt. Cheaper intelligence will increase total power demand and reprice every chip already installed.
a16z announces Travis Kalanick is back with Atoms, his new robotics company out of stealth. The venture, backed by a16z, builds specialized "gainfully employed robots" for food, mining, and transport to digitize the physical world.
David Friedberg torches Ro Khanna’s socialist pivot: “$300M net worth, $10M DC mansion, kids in 3 country clubs… yet he’s running left for 2028. Tax the borrowed gains at 40%, cut taxes on labor. Wealth taxes are theft. Socialism is a failed virus.”
"Foreign adversaries, Marxists, national security hawks, effective altruists, and frontier labs angling for regulatory capture. All rowing in the same direction on restricting AI. I don't even think they're working together." - @BitcoinConner
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the Clarity Act is ready for a full Senate floor vote, calling it a bipartisan breakthrough that would establish the first comprehensive federal framework for digital assets.
"Napoleon would go back to the tent after the most intense fighting in history and dictate a letter about building a bridge in rural France. That is what these agents allow us to do. Multiply human agency." - @BitcoinConner

Chinese AI models now outpace U.S. ones in token usage on OpenRouter, per Bloomberg. Weekly global share shows China's models topping American peers for the first time in 2026, driven by growing adoption of cost-effective options.

"Bitcoin is probably the most liquidity sensitive asset on the planet. Liquidity is losing momentum." @crossbordercap on why Bitcoin and gold are already signaling the cycle has turned.
"I don't believe there's a four-year cycle in Bitcoin. I think there's a 5 to 6 year liquidity cycle." @crossbordercap says the cycle is driven by average global debt maturity, not halvings.
"We were the first to put all the pieces together. The Party for Socialism and Liberation are functioning as important organizers in a lot of these debates." @BitcoinConner on tracing foreign-linked dark money behind anti-data center activism across America.

Coinbase settled its FOIA lawsuit against the SEC. The SEC will pay $150,000 and overhaul its record-retention policies. The SEC's own inspector general found that close to a year of former Chair Gary Gensler's text messages were wiped after the agency reset his phone before making a backup. The destroyed window covered the FTX collapse and the agency's peak enforcement campaign against crypto exchanges. 38% of the recovered texts touched agency business. The irony is hard to miss. Under Gensler, the SEC levied more than $1 billion in fines on financial firms for losing employee messages.

.@jackmallers' letter to Strike investors after stepping down from Twenty One. "The moment you blame someone else for your outcome, you hand them the power to define it." "Strike isn't for sale. Its mission isn't for sale. The only thing that changes for Strike investors is that Strike now gets all of me."
