I'm with the other guy who thinks we should be grounded in reality for now. Space elevators are fun and all, but we could still cover a lot of surface area on the planet, maybe even in the oceans, for plenty of solar panels / arrays to power the world (or a bitcoin miner.) I found this before: https://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/127One of the big things right now is the minerals required for high efficiency generators, solar panels and batteries for storing it all. Mining space would be a good way to handle that over some of the ethically questionable methods currently used.

Seems straightforward then. We bulldoze San Francisco and cover it in solar panels.

Ironically, it takes a lot of energy to drop stuff into the sun.

Also launching trash can be done without thinking about the health of individuals so just shoot it straight up at 12:00

It's the bolded part... Just make an amusement ride that goes up at 11.2km/sec and let the cart go off the rails.... As I said I can build something that can launch humans off planet without rocket thrusters so the bold part is doable within engineering limits. It's just $$$ and time...... And doing insane shit that ever engineer would love to do but scares them...

Does it mean we see it today? nope. Does it mean we see it tomorrow? nope. Does it mean if you are storing billions in gold you should shift some to BTC? maybe.
Indeed. The value of gold is largely supported by speculation and those who want a hedge. As soon as any concrete measure in the direction of asteroid mining occurred, the price would surely drop like a rock. Space mining is still possible? As far as I know it is still in our imaginary vision, maybe we can try after colonize the mars?

and again ... shortly up to 50,6k ... now down again in very short time under 50k ... no manipulation at all ... pure market ...
BUT could been a long REKT ... But I would suggest a short REKT when the price gone up ...
AFAIK honey badger still doesn't care. It's just your emotions that make these market movements unpleasant to you. I recommend to tune down the emotions. Just accept "the manipulation" (put inside quotes because, well... nobody can prove it's manipulation actually). Disconnect from wishful thinking. You can still choose to be euphoric on the next pump, but remember these exciting times and just barely look cool at the following dumps and range chopping. Cool as ice (Sorry, i heard vanilla on the radio today, this one hit wonder song hooked me when i was a teenager). Do yourself something good today

Space elevators are fun and all, but we could still cover a lot of surface area on the planet, maybe even in the oceans, for plenty of solar panels / arrays to power the world (or a bitcoin miner.) I found this before: https://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/... So it's not updated, but you can line up a whole bunch of solar panels near the equator and not much is needed to power the world (not including bitcoin miners) ... That article also discusses wind power and hydroelectric power. Edit: here is another one just for bitcoin. https://landartgenerator.org/blagi/archives/5697... First off I postulated that bringing that asteroid into orbit would offset the cost so as usual WO twisted the thread around to a logical fallacy. The two are not mutually exclusive.

That trash needs to be scooped up and used in offworld industry as the cost to get it up there has already been paid.
