GoOgLe AY eye opinions are at the top of every search page, but tonight I asked, "Is BTC crashing?" No AI response :lol:

So I went to Bing search, "Is BTC crashing"

Yes
Yes, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently crashing. Recent reports indicate that Bitcoin has dropped to around $89,500, triggered by massive liquidations and market panic. The price has fallen below the key support level of $90,000, leading to a significant decline...

A little out of date, it's currently... $81,000, but the bot gets the drift and isn't censoring the news like GoOgLe is. Thank God it's just another Mad American scam, hardly anyone here is effected, and no corporations or exchanges and all that crap. I do feel sorry for poor Inke, between this mess and the fall in his Tesla shares, down from $470 to $395, his net worth is taking quite a hit. The other poster here? Well they never had any wealth anyway so you can't lose what you never had :cry:

Thank God I'm heavily into Silver and Gold, the inflation busters that have no counter party risk. Let the whole economy implode and blame it on the Donald.

I recently had to have a super high tech PCB (Printed Circuit Board) made. It's for AI datacenter electronics. AI datacenters prefer to buy american made. But there is no american supplier who can handle the high tech requirements. I was forced to go to the chinks to have it made. Funny how outsourcing your tech for decades leads to the other guy catching up and even eclipsing you.

Is there anything more stupid than euopeans, who went from ruling the world militarily, scientifically, technologically, philosophically, artistically to being confused about gender all within 150 years?

So...having given up on taking lessons on thinking for yourself, or going back to school to finish all the important brain learning activities you missed, you've decided AIslop will do your thinking for you? Well, come to think of it, that might be one answer for someone with no innate ability to think for themselves. You need a tshirt to warn folks.

Why would a nation struggling to pay it's bills leave all it's coal in the ground when there are ready buyers all over the world? Because it's shit coal that's why. Not worth digging up!

They Que up to buy Aussie Coal.
Australia, Canada without the toxic immigrants and Woke government.

Saving it for a rainy day, when all the rest of the stuff runs out. You don't have any oil, can't build anything for yourself, and are selling out all your natural gas and coal to the lowest bidder.

You really should throw off your King, he isn't looking out for your long term interests.

What's the secret to prosperity?
Close your borders to illegal immigrants
Maintain a mostly White population that's prepared to work honestly for the nation.
Don't waste money on a massive standing army navy and airforce
Don't fund corporate thieves that build empires of paper and leave the debts for the people
And sell your coal to the world! Clean abundant coal.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') recent report by Oil Change International found Australia led the world in expanding its oil and gas industries between 2015 and 2024, increasing production by 77%. On coal, Australia is shipping more of the thermal stuff than it was a decade ago. And the Albanese government has approved at least 32 fossil fuel developments and expansions since its election in 2022, overwhelmingly for export.

Australia is second only to Indonesia in shipping thermal coal, which is burned to create electricity. It rivals the US and Qatar as the biggest seller of LNG. It is easily the biggest exporter of metallurgical coal, which is used in steel making.

When was the last time a coal fired power station burnt down? You'd think with all that highly combustible fuel in there it would happen every day, but nope, it never happens. Just like Gasoline powered cars don't spontaneously combust like rechargeable battery cars do. They are safer. I had to laugh when the fanboi over on the Battcar thread were comparing ICE fires with Battcar fires, they were just parroting dribble off EV sites which conveniently left out the obvious fact that the vast majority of car fires are deliberately lit by criminals to destroy evidence. The evidence left in a stolen car.

But when you go fullRetard alternate energy you need massive battery banks to store your electrons. What could go wrong there?

The Unreported Story Of Grid Scale Battery Fires
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')n January 16, 2025, the Moss Landing 300 battery energy storage system at the Moss Landing Vistra power plant (Monterey County, Calif.) caught fire.

The 300-megawatt system held about 100,000 lithium-ion batteries. About 55 percent of the batteries were damaged by the fire. There were prior fires at the Moss Landing facility in September 2021 and February 2022. Back here in New York, my March 2024 post reported on no fewer than three major fires at grid battery storage facilities in this state that had taken place during 2023. The following quote came from a piece at Canary Media from August 2023:

Dunno. But based on who has how much coal, it might happen 3X times more in the US because we have triple the coal that Australia does. And don't even get me started on how 5X 10x 20X 50X more oil and gas we have.

Coal Remains King In India While Exports Optimize Domestic Stock

We're slowly getting past all the BS surrounding "renewables" and how they can seamlessly replace coal, making electricity cheaper. Never was a bigger Lie told, unless it was the EV Lie. But both went hand in glove didn't they.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')oal India Limited, the biggest coal producer in the world’s second-biggest coal user, opened this year its online coal supply auctions directly to buyers in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal, as Indian coal supply has swelled amid weaker-than-expected demand in recent months.
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News ... Stock.html

Weaker demand? Like renewables are taking over??? No, just poverty of course. The same poverty driving US consumers (they are not citizens anymore) the same poverty that's curtailing their spending is curtailing exports to them, Obviously. It's a flow on effect, a coupled set if you like. The EU plays it's part as well by growing ever poorer and demanding less and less Indian and Chinese products and services.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')mid an oversupply of coal and weaker demand, India and its top state coal producer are looking to optimize domestic supply and monetize exports to neighboring countries.
Until 2026, only middlemen could bid in Coal India’s online supply auctions. This has now changed with the new policy.

New policies... Well you need policies, but nine times out of ten they are simply put in place to favor certain entities over others and have noting to do with "the efficient market hypothesis." Not that it was any sort of scientific hypothesis, just a pseudo-scientific load of claptrap designed to obscure the fact that all wealth ultimately flows from the bottom (working people) to the top (rich indolent capitalists.) But it looks good on paper, and it helped with the transition from a feudal system where the people were controlled by religion, to the new system where they were controlled by their own desire to share in the wealth and power.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')oal-fired power generation and capacity installations in India continue to rise and coal remains a key pillar of India’s electricity mix with about 70% share of total power output.

Despite booming renewable capacity additions (chuckle chuckle), India continues to rely on coal to meet most of its power demand as authorities also look to avoid blackouts in cases of severe heat waves. Coal will still be a key part of India’s power system for the next two decades, Rajnath Ram, adviser for energy NITI Aayog, said in September.

“We cannot be subjective about coal. The question is how sustainably we can use it,” the official noted.

What a wanker! You cannot sustainably use coal, you use it and it's gone, Forever! Stupid politicians...

India is still engaged, as is much of the world, in the BS renewables mantra. Burning coal in China to make windmills and solar panels to move electrons in India. And they pretend that is renewable? Yeah, until the coal runs out. India's power mix https://lowcarbonpower.org/region/India

Just like the rechargeable battery car the renewables transition has stalled out on the side of the highway, right around the 13% mark on the diffusion of innovation model.

Quality Coal, Low population (Half that of Jakarta!), Strict immigration (very few Americans allowed) and a work ethic that is the envy of the other 1st world nations. This is what makes Australia the Jewel of the Pacific.

Low population because all the folks that outgrew their prison colony roots left for real countries, as opposed to a British colony.

And...as expected...coal pipsqueaks. <yawn>

....and let us not forget that those stuck behind in Australia are laboring FURIOUSLY......the smart ones...we'll call them "rocket scientists" (giggle giggle snicker snicker) to accomplish great things! Keep trying Australia!

Another century and maybe you'll learn how to build automobiles! And then a couple centuries later when everyone is living on the other planets of the solar system, you'll figure out how to put a motor...in a boat...and grow your population to a nearby island!

But love those beaches! And the big rock!
