Highlights
1 billion SATs today is equivalent to 10 Bitcoin, and in the future, a few thousand SATs could be worth more than today's billion SATs due to its potential to acquire a higher standard of living and quality of life.
Bitcoin serves as an algorithm to channel exponentially growing electricity into a finite accounting system, offering exposure to future energy sources and purchasing power.
Investing in Bitcoin is akin to securing a future share of global total energy production, which is represented by a fixed accounting system.
Common intuition often misinterprets the exponential growth of society and energy demands, leading to linear solutions that may not address the core issues effectively.
The pursuit of linear thinking in response to exponential societal and energy growth can limit opportunities for innovation in energy production and efficiency.
Governments and monetary institutions may favor linear thinking due to the difficulty of managing an exponentially increasing money supply alongside energy growth.
A wealthy society cannot exist without abundant energy; the focus should be on increasing energy production and consumption sustainably.
The Earth's inefficiency is highlighted by comparing the impact of 100 million hunter-gatherers to 8 billion modern humans, emphasizing the need for technological advancements in energy use.
Society aims to solve the energy production and consumption problem, not just environmental issues, by focusing on stewardship and efficiency.
Bitcoin mining's incentives drive cleaner and more abundant energy production worldwide, contributing to a more prosperous society.

Transcripts
1 billion SATs today is 10 Bitcoin in
the future even just a few thousand SATs
could be worth way more then than a
billion SATs is today because it
purchases and acquires a far higher
standard of living and quality of life
Bitcoin is the one algorithm we have to
funnel this exponentially larger amount
of electricity into a finite accounting
system and so if people want to have
exposure to those energy sources in the
future if they want to have exposure to
that purchasing power in the future they
should probably get some Bitcoin it's
like going back in time and buying a
small percentage a small fixed
percentage of the sum total of the human
race when someone buys a certain amount
of Bitcoin they are buying a certain
fraction of the energy produced and
consumed of the 22nd century of the 23rd
century and maybe even beyond that even
they're buying a specific fraction of
future energy and so literally as
Bitcoin becomes more valuable the
potential upside for Bitcoin only
increases as the runway of future human
progress and future energy production
and consumption gets extended outwards
on a more and more solid foundation Luke
BRS a passionate content creator
podcaster and Bitcoin adviser is well
known for his advocacy of Bitcoin and
its transformative potential his work
often draws parallels between past
Technologies and the rapid changes
brought by current advancements
highlighting the profound impact of
exponential growth in this video we
discuss the future of energy energ
production and Bitcoin mining he
explains how bitcoin's incentives Drive
cleaner and more abundant energy
production worldwide leading to a more
prosperous society when you invest in
Bitcoin you're essentially securing a
future share of global total energy
production Bitcoin is a fixed accounting
system that represents the best means of
preserving and accessing energy in the
future Luke describes that when you buy
Bitcoin today you are buying a fixed
fraction of the total Global energy
production at some point in the future
but before we do that I want to
introduce our sponsors stamp seed the
orange pill app and Swan our partners
are businesses and people that we
respect and our products that we AB bit
intelligence personally use you're
watching 21
Voices the common reactionary intuition
is that oh my goodness the human
population is expanding we're using more
energy than we used to and more people
are wanting to use more energy than than
they're used to and so what we have to
do is we have to slow the amount of
energy that people are demanding we have
to slow the increasing population you
know I I think our linear thinking
reaction to an exponential nature of
society is to try to force it back into
linear terms right we don't know how to
solve an exponential energy problem that
the world's facing and that's having
negative externalities on the
environment so let's apply a linear
solution but I think unfortunately this
misunderstanding that hey we have less
in Comm with the future in the past is
limiting our thinking and the
opportunities ahead it's limiting our
thinking when it comes to nuclear energy
it's limiting our thinking when it comes
to future energy sources and innovative
ways to make more efficient use of the
energy we already have and so
unfortunately I I think that you know
many governments and and money printing
institutions let's say have a high
incentive to continue to force that
linear thinking because you can't have
exponential energy increase with an
exponentially increasing money Supply
because if the energy increases
exponentially while you're creating new
currency units exponentially you're not
really being able to exploit Society you
need linear Solutions when you're having
exponential monetary increase and so my
point is you cannot have a wealthy
society and an energy poor Society
simultaneously we all know this but
unfortunately a lot of people even
though they might know this they still
don't know how to combat that with that
exponential problem of we're using too
much energy the Earth is just as
inefficient with the 100 million hunter
gatherers as 8 billion modern humans
today because the hunter gatherers would
go out hunt all the species to eat and
consume them they' go out and harvest
all the berries all the fruits and
everything out there and they would
force these extinctions for these large
aex predators and these large forms of
prey eventually until ecosystems would
collapse because there would be no more
animals left now fortunately humans
upgraded to Superior technological
sources to early days agriculture before
we hit that threshold and then when we
began hitting the upper thresholds of
the early agricultural days we advanced
again and again and again and that's
where we are today the Earth today is
just as insustry
really what we're trying to solve is not
an environmental problem what we're
really trying to solve is an energy
production and consumption and
stewardship problem that's the problem
we're trying to solve and the way you
solve that is not by suppressing human
flourishing It Is by focusing on an
accelerating human abundance by
increasing energy production and
consumption if you really want to solve
the climate crisis you don't force the
apex predator to become hungrier in in
shorter time preference you don't do
that right that cuz really if we don't
boil it down that's what's happening and
we are consuming the Earth faster than
the earth can replenish itself and so
you don't fix that problem by putting
the humans into a box and scaring them
even if the humans themselves are doing
it you don't solve that problem by these
political institutions getting humans
hungrier more desperate more inefficient
using inferior energy sources to that
that actually makes the problem worse
and in the process you're killing human
beings it's actively evil and it's
actively inefficient so really when it
comes to bitcoin and when it comes to
this climate concern and environmental
concern really what people need to
understand is that the only solution out
of the climate change crisis that is
moral as well as actually going to work
is if you align incentives this is not a
zero s game between the endangered
animals and the ecosystems on the verge
of collapse and the humans this is not a
zero some game and if you make it a zero
some game the environment loses every
single time sorry to say but the humans
can Channel more energy than the
endangered salamanders and the Penguins
and the whales can do my counter
perspective to that as a bitcoiner is
that this is not a zero some game of
humans versus environment it is possible
for the environment to flourish as well
as humans and our job as humans being
the apex predator is to make sure we're
stiring the environment well that we're
being fruitful and multiplying while not
causing more harm to our surroundings
which of course eventually will cause
more harm back to us in the future so it
is not a zero sum game it is possible
for us to Ste things in a proper way to
increase efficiency to increase
abundance and to minimize netive
negative externalities so that for every
additional negative externality we're
adding we're increasing multiple
positive externalities and Bitcoin
fortunately does this in many wonderful
ways yes Bitcoin uses energy yes Bitcoin
uses electricity and electricity emits
carbon into the atmosphere however
Bitcoin being so tiny without a
marketing budget without carbon credits
without entral committee determining who
uses what energy Bitcoin is the the
single greatest accelerator for
renewable energies and most people in
bitcoiners aren't even necessarily Pro
renewable energy to a large degree it's
simply that bitcoin's incentive is to
find the cheapest energy possible
because that is the ultimate reason why
renewable energies and more quote
unquote clean energy sources have not
been adopted they're not profitable they
don't meet that self-preservation need
right if you're going to choose between
an energy source that is better for the
planet but worse for you versus the
other energ source that is worse for the
planet the better for you of course
you're going to choose the latter not
the former because if you choose the
former you're going to starve eventually
right and that's a problem with zero
some thinking that it's one or the other
either we have to have energy sources
worse for us and better for the planet
or or better for the planet and and
worse for US Energy reductionists like
think that oh we have to force people to
do the alternate because they won't
choose it on their own but again as a
bitcoiner I don't think it's that binary
I don't think it's at zero sum I
actually it's possible to have an energy
source better for humans and better for
the planet and really that's what
Bitcoin does because like I said these
energy resources are not Dependable they
are not Dependable to be profitable and
they are not Dependable to bring
consistent energy wind does not always
blow the sun does not always shine right
literally a third to half of the day
that the sun is not shining right so
there's significant period of time these
renewable energy sources are not like
fossil fuel where they can just be
turned on but Bitcoin finds the cheapest
energy and because it finds the cheapest
energy the cheapest energy is the energy
excess for when Renewables are in what
is called the deck curve where they are
in either over optimal or under optimal
periods of energy demand so Bitcoin
finds that energy it accelerates that
energy makes it more profitable so
literally Bitcoin is accelerating energy
sources that are better for the planet
in a way that is more profitable for
humans than fossil fuels alone and to me
that's an incredibly exciting thing
because it unlocks a lot of
opportunities a lot of perspectives for
the future that we haven't even yet
considered it makes things like nuclear
energy like Hydro energy and other forms
of energy that are only being conceived
of today even more of a possible future

like a lightning bolt it was the
currency of the future the only money
that truly mattered but there was a
problem I didn't know anyone else that
thought like like me that is until I
discovered the orange pill app suddenly
I was connected with a network of
like-minded Bitcoin enthusiasts right in
my own City the orange pill app is more
than just a social network it's a
community of passionate individuals
determined to change the world one
Satoshi at a time this series is brought

intelligence remember to like this video
And subscribe to both our channels for
more videos like this every week thanks
for watching and so I think if we really
want to solve this exponential change
that we're that we're facing ourself in
right now the early 21st century where
we have more and more mouths to feed and
we're depleting our soilis nutrients
where we have more and more humans and
more and more pollution where we have
all these things the single greatest
accelerator of positive change in my
view is to accelerate the global
geographically independent technology
that makes these things profitable both
for humans and and incentivizes these
positive externalities on the world so
to me Bitcoin is really exciting in this
manner and I would genuinely argue that
Bitcoin is the single greatest
accelerator of environmental Improvement
on the planet Bitcoin has a legitimate
chance to uniting the world and having a
singular currency that does not require
political influence to manipulate
Bitcoin does not require Wars navies or
standing armies to enforce its monetary
policy onto the rest of the world so
that brings us to the question why
should I buy Bitcoin really the reason
people want to have a higher net worth
quote unquote is because they want to be
able to acquire more energy in the
future than they do today than they do
currently and so the only way to do that
is to have exposure to the technological
innovations of the future the
technological innovations of the future
are digital they are of that nature and
people are only going to be willing to
exchange them for a digital Global
Currency that requires energy to create
now what is the best form of energy
that's unifying in that sense it's
electricity because computers need
electricity to run if you are spending
electricity to create Bitcoin you are
inherently not spending that electricity
on a computer or an AI dener or some
other form of internet device right
you're using that electricity a valuable
commodity for this other commodity
there's Bitcoin and Bitcoin requires
electricity to create and it requires
more more electricity with every having
that comes and goes so why should
someone buy Bitcoin because electricity
is the underlying commodity of the
digital age and of the planet and
Bitcoin is the one algorithm we have to
funnel this exponentially larger amount
of electricity in to a finite accounting
system and so if people want to have
exposure to those energy sources in the
future if they want to have exposure to
that purchasing power in the future they
should probably get some Bitcoin it's
like going back in time and buying a
small percentage a small fixed
percentage of the sum total of the human
race right in the same way someone buys
a small fraction of the American Stock
Market to gain exposure to the American
corporate world it's like going back in
time and buying a fixed share of the
human energy world not just of America
not just the corporate energy of America
the sum total of energy in the world and
so that's essentially what people when
they buy Bitcoin today are doing when
someone buys a certain amount of Bitcoin
they are buying a certain fraction of
the energy produced and consumed of the
22nd century of the 23rd century and
maybe even beyond that even they're
buying a specific fraction of future
energy and so when we try to price
Bitcoin in terms of dollars we think
it's number go up technology and context
of the new growing Energy System the new
growing monetary Empire that is Bitcoin
we're going to see the amount of human
energy being directed away from the
political currency un system and towards
Bitcoin and so the reason to buy Bitcoin
is because you want more energy and the
only way to get more energy in the
future than you are today is to be
exposed to that Future Energy System and
that's why people should buy Bitcoin and
so literally as Bitcoin becomes more
valuable the potential upside for
Bitcoin only increases as the Run way of
future human progress and future energy
production and consumption gets extended
outwards on a more and more solid
foundation at every point in the future
if you are ultimately an optimist and
you think that humanity is going to
continue innovating at any point in the
future we are going to be channeling
more energy into the future and the past
and if you believe that Bitcoin will
remain secure and it will remain
decentralized then that accounting
system is going to be pricing in that
larger amount of energy right how do you
begin to price in in Antarctica until
youve discovered it in 1820 how do you
begin to price in Australia North
America South America let Al L the
millions and billions of people that
will be moving there and building
infrastructure on top of it for
centuries how do you begin pricing that
in until it has even been discovered
until it has even been found 1 billion
SATs today is 10 Bitcoin in the future
even just a few thousand SATs could be
worth way more then than a billion s is
today because it purchases and acquires
a far higher standard of living and
quality quality of life so if you own a
million sets if you own 100 million sets
one Bitcoin or if you own a billion sets
10 Bitcoin no matter how much Bitcoin
you own the single greatest question is
not how how what price is Bitcoin could
go to the single greatest question is
how do I make sure I store it properly
so I don't lose it between here and
there whether it's 500 years or 5 years
away how do I make sure I keep what I
have because if I keep what I have and
Bitcoin remains secure and decentralized
then it's only going up Forever both in
terms of political curreny units of the
US dollar and in terms of every other
form of energy indefinitely as long as
the human race continues to survive
thrive and grow and
flourish Luke's insights reveal a
critical disconnection between common
misperceptions of energy use and the
reality of building a prosperous Society
of course we need to be cognizant about
not wasting energy but the real problem
that needs to be addressed is where and
how our energy is created we need a
majority of our energy to come from
clean carbon- free sources whether you
believe in climate change or not I bet
you rather live across a street from a
geothermal energy plant than a Coal
Fired one the problem is that popular
renewable energy sources like wind and
solar are having a tough time being
adopted this is because of the issues it
poses grid operators who are expected to
manage intermittent Supply with variable
demand but let's forget all that for a
second the point here is that the best
possible vote that you can make for the
climate is by buying Bitcoin contrary to
what most mainstream media Outlets would
even consider saying Bitcoin is also the
least risky way to acquire more energy
for yourself and your family in the
future so not only is it the best thing
that you can do for the environment it's
also the best thing that you can do for
yourself regardless of your personal
goals or political beliefs as you can
imagine that's a very powerful thing to
align different groups of people
regardless of whether or not they
believe believe in some movement or not
to do the same thing that produces a
good benefit both for the people that
don't believe in it and for the people
that do anyway that's enough for today
