Have you looked at a map? I live in NY, and there is absolutely no place for such a massive solar farm. The numbers I quoted were just for NYC, and they weren’t adjusted for the winter sunlight problem. To power the…
That’s an arbitrary, and pointless, distinction. 100,000,000 different people can own a single satoshi. What does it matter that each individual does not own the entire thing? The question is whether Bitcoin has enough…
Each Bitcoin is 100,000,000 satoshi. So the actual max supply is 2,100,000,000,000,000. It’s effectively infinite supply.
Opportunity cost is simple. It’s a calculation of what your money could have been doing if you put it to use doing something else. The easiest to estimate is the market opportunity cost. If you spend $10,000 on a solar…
The opportunity cost for the cash you had to put down to install a solar array. Or the opportunity cost of the interest payments you’re making on a loan.
I’ve yet to see any renewable plan that could cover big northern cities. Where are we going to build a solar farm to cover NYC, DC, and Philadelphia? There is 9 hours of daylight in the dead of winter, and it’s not…
