Were missing 2 centre forwards its gonna be tough

Assume its cos we want to try and play at a high tempo and try and wear them down

Thats football sometimes .. annoyingly

Hes crap.. i know thats not very constructive but i just dont rate him apologies. Normally like to put a bit more reason and substance to my opinion but this ones just clear and obvious

Stop talking sense lol

My heart goes out to u mate… sincere and deepest condolences. having watched my dad deteriorate in in a similar manor from cancer i can relate a little…. My dad battled it for 4 years but his body just became overwhelmed and he passed age 62 😞 Derby were due to play forest the following day.. of all bloody fixtures. Me and my brothers decided to go in his honour and for him… i wont lie i walked up those steps to where we had sat for the past god knows how many years and i fell apart.. sat in my seat roaring my eyes out for pretty much the whole first half i cant say for sure if it was something i should have done or not.. maybe i shouldnt have gone and given myself time but do what u feels best or right .. theres no right or wrong pal if u ever want to chat .. my inbox is always open look after yourself buddy

Massive game for so many reasons… win and it puts the pressure right on bolton… lose or draw and its a smallish gap for bolton with a home game in hand against a v v average shrewbury… going to be nerves central today for me COYRs

God what a day was there with my dad… that day will live long in the memory

Describes a little more eloquently than i can https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/09/21/why-bitcoin-mining-might-actually-be-great-for-sustainability/ There ya go Stabilizing Power Grids Matching supply with demand is one of the most significant challenges facing power providers. Too much energy production can overwhelm the grid. But so can too much demand. This is where bitcoin comes in. Bitcoin miners can act as an energy sponge, soaking up excess energy when needed to prevent it from overloading the grid. But they can just as easily shut off at a moment’s notice when demand grows too high, as bitcoin miners did during a heat wave in Texas last month. The ability of bitcoin miners to do everything—or nothing—all at once is a boon to power providers. But it can also benefit customers by mitigating demand spikes to help keep prices low. Reducing Methane Emissions Methane is a significant driver of climate change. According to the KPMG report, methane is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide and is responsible for approximately 30% of global warming. To make matters worse, landfills act as methane mega factories, spewing toxic gas into the air as a byproduct of the decomposition process. So what to do about all this methane? Believe it or not, bitcoin fixes this. Companies are finding ways to capture vented methane on landfills and then turning that methane into electricity. They then use that electricity to mine bitcoin. This practice both reduces carbon emissions and monetizes stranded energy by taking toxic fumes and converting them into digital gold. If the process can be scaled, it could forever change the way landfills operate. Other firms are following a similar model by converting flared gas into electricity to mine bitcoin. Like methane capture, this process harnesses energy that otherwise would have gone to waste. Consider that the potential energy of flared gas in the US and Canada could power the entire bitcoin blockchain, according to Harvard Business Review.

Think its just an interesting concept as much as anything… as u say a low risk gamble if anyone was to do it

Ok whatever pal … im not claiming btc is going to carbon neutalise the planet im merely giving interesting examples of what people are looking to do with it.. open peoples eyes and enlighten them i couldnt f*** if no one here bought a single sat.. u think a few quid from derby is going to let me empty my bags.. have a day off will you. i am no expert but im trying to share what knowledge i have to people here so they dont ape in when it starts going up and up and then wander why its going down cos they bought the top and are left with a big loss and bitter experience Or that altcoins are not bitcoin and are not the same thing … and that they stand a good chance of losing all there hard earned money if they buy any old shitcoin cos some dig on twitter says its the next big thing

No obviously. but btc is a new technology that most of the world are still discovering or havent even heard about. Its a technology thats still finding its feet, the community is v aware of the environmental aspect / debate hence why theres a real emphasis to make strides to improve. Wish i still had it but i picked up a facinating flying for a bitcoin miner heater. basically it had the same electrical uptake of one of those fancy dyson heater things, all in a nice shiny casing. U run it as u would ur normal dyson heater.. the difference is aswell as heating ur home/ room u were earning as passive income that offset the cost of running the heater thought that was pretty neat. edit: found it https://21energy.com check the table at the bottom … cant not find that an interesting proposition

Maybe re read what im saying? Im not saying btc is providing clean energy … btc is enabling a community to access something that previously was un obtainable to them. unfortunately money talks in every corner of the globe and by monetising aspects of the energy btc is enabling something that previously hadnt been possible.

Absurd claims?! think youll find im as clued up as anyone on here regarding btc with due respect im trying to break it down into lemans terms to someone that thinks providing electricity to a community that have never ever had such a luxuary isnt exploitation and slave labour. 🤦

I was referring to the example i sat and listened to at bitcoin atlantis. the grid harnessed hydro power that was making use of a water source close the the community. The whole concept wouldnt have been possible without bitcoin miners monetising the power from the hydro source and providing a revenue source to make it happen

Like i said iv no idea how the excess revenues are divied up… maybe the community get some, all , a portion i dont know

No its called scarcity aka deflation Something no other asset or currency on the planet has or is its a hard concept as were trained to believe that everything is and should be inflationary we expect prices to go up… have u ever asked yourself why ? Not an arsey question.. genuinely i had to ask for the reason myself

Have to agree to disagree on that one 👍

Great result, wasnt pretty but who gives a fook dug in , worked theyre socks off to a man. still think theres a twist or two yet with our lack of striking options

Iv no idea of the exact ins and outs of where and who gets any excess btc the point is these communities have the option of free electricity ….. something they have never had or never dreamed of having at the expense of someone potentially harvesting some profit think its called a win win situation i mean … lets say u live with no electricity and someone offers u it for free … but they make a bit too? u going to turn that down and carry on living in the dark ? lets not muck about.. having electricity in any walk of life is game / life changing to give an example… i run a small business that has quite high electricity costs … if a company came along and offered me free electricity by putting solar panels on the roof but on the condition that any surplus energy or btc they mined from it is theres u think id give a crap that theyre making off it ? think its called a symbiotic relationship

Ignore the “ask yourself a question” at the end. Forgot to delete that 😂😂😂

Not sure how u come to that conclusion😂 The btc is used to pay for the infrastructure and maintanance of the grid. an electrical grid doesnt just wire itself up and maintain itself… there is also the issue of lost energy which is a global problem.. an energy grids usage isnt just a constant usage no matter what time of day and night… 5pm everyone home from work, kettles go on, ovens go on, lights go on.. so a grid needs to be able to hold and store for that surge in demand but then if it has that capacity then at 2 in the morning when everyone is asleep theres loads of wasted electricity and money. bitcoin monetises this wastage and makes the grid … in a remote part of the world sustainable why do u think we pay a daily standing charge ? It isnt just to make the shareholders rich… actually .. scratch that lol ask yourself a question

I taking this from the talks i sat through at btc atlantis, but The btc they make from mining is used to fund the infrastructure that otherwise wouldnt be possible to maintain. So without the miners the whole premise of providing electricity to these places wouldnt be possible… the btc pays for the upkeep of the electrical grid so to speak. re less btc available to mine…. This is true … but u know the price has gone up exponentially every time there is a halving (every 4 years) so ? so in lemans terms mining 100 bitcoin 10 years ago at that current price wouldnt be as lucrative as mining half a bitcoin now at todays prices Which is the whole point of bitcoin … its a deflationary asset .. something were not used to

https://unherd.com/2024/01/the-african-village-mining-bitcoin/ To me this is revolutionary … if u live in a part of the world where previously you could only dream of having electricity.

just found these two articles whilst packing up at work, give a little insight as to where the bitcoin community want to take things. ill try dig out the talk from btc atlantis that covered mining in african / latin american countries and how btc is enabling companies to bring electricity to communities that previously it was unsustainable to do so https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/11/02/bitcoin-miner-marathon-tests-btc-mining-with-methane-gas-from-waste-landfill/amp/ https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/bitcoin-mining-can-help-fight-methane-emissions# Edit: cant find the talk atm… but below is one of a number of growing case studies where mining btc is brining affordable / renewable electricity to places where previously impossible to do https://hackernoon.com/no-power-grid-this-african-village-mines-bitcoin-for-electricity
