This is particularly beneficial for renewable energy sources like wind and solar, which frequently generate more electricity than the grid can utilize at peak times. Instead of wasting this excess energy or relying on costly and inefficient storage solutions, Bitcoin miners absorb the surplus. This dynamic demand is helping to balance energy supply and demand, contributing significantly to overall grid stability.\n\nDuring periods of high demand or low renewable output, Bitcoin miners are scaling down their operations, effectively acting as a \"virtual power plant\" that reduces consumption and frees up energy for other users. This demand response strategy is crucial for maintaining grid stability, especially during peak load times.\n\nBitcoin mining is also stimulating investment in energy infrastructure by providing a consistent base load demand for power. This is improving the financial viability of power generation projects, encouraging wider deployment and enhancing the energy mix's diversity and sustainability.\n\nIn Texas, with its independent energy grid (ERCOT) and deregulated energy market, Bitcoin miners are thriving.

OSED offers a modular EDGE DERMS platform that leverages customer assets\u2014like electric vehicles and batteries\u2014to provide grid flexibility. By integrating the Bitcoin Lightning Network using LNBits, OSED enables real-time rewards in Bitcoin for users who adjust their energy usage. The platform employs open-source tools and supports advanced functions like load coordination and peer-to-peer energy trading.

OSED allows the deployment of custom grid functions that fulfill local grid needs. The grid functions tackle well known grid problems as the power peaks produced either in normal conditions or after electricity cuts (using direct load control or demand response incentives). The grid functions could be rewarded using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Thus, whenever the utility requires flexibility that users can provide (for example, discharging electric batteries or electric vehicles or simply reducing their consumption), the users could be paid directly in Bitcoin for their contributions to the grid needs. Moreover, OSED supports advanced grid functions like the coordination of controllable loads (like Electric Vehicle recharge) or even local flexibility markets that can run as well using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. So, not only users can sell electricity back to the grid (either megawatts or negawatts) but they can also trade energy among themselves using bitcoin.\n\nThe way OSED works is that it deploys EDGE DERMS Coordinators who expose APIs to upper control systems, like aggregators, virtual power plants, or even utility DERMS. OSED deploys as well the building actuators and building intelligence systems that control the loads on the buildings. OSED leverages open-source projects, such as LnBits, Home Assistant and EdgeX, Docker, and Kubernetes, allowing it to be cloud and hardware-agnostic.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "UYDE7H", "name": "Juan Carlos Oviedo Cepeda", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/UYDE7H_9x7PKwH.webp", "biography": "Passionate researcher and technology strategist dedicated to bridging the gap between scientific research and industry needs.

While they are price differentials for different coffee qualities and origins, in general coffee worldwide is priced as a commodity. Most people worldwide don't realize coffee is a fruit, a bright cherry of a tropical tree which seeds we dry, process, roast and grind to produce a beverage most of us consume worldwide. After water and tea it's the most consumed drink by humans worldwide. \n\nI've always (half) jokingly said that everything in the planet has experienced inflation, but green coffee. A product that takes one year to make, and the riskiest part of the entire chain, with the least reward. Disease, plagues, floods, droughts, internal and external market forces have pushed the growers of this plant to economic hardship and poverty. Adjusted for inflation the price for green arabica coffee is under 1990 levels, and way below its 1977 peak. Even not adjusting for inflation, in nominal dollar terms green coffee was worth more 50 years ago than it is today and the dollar is not even close to being worth the same today than it was in 1977. \n\nIn El Salvador, and basically all producing countries, for the past 150 years there hasn't been a way to export roasted coffee direct to distributor or direct to consumer. Bitcoin has allowed us to break this paradigm and today Good Beans is one of a handful coffee businesses in the planet selling coffee direct to consumer from the origin to the door allowing all the profits from the chain to stay where coffee is grown while maintaining a competitive price for the consumer.

As institutional money and Wall Street have understood Bitcoin, this asset class keeps gaining attention from regulators and gov treasurers. Seems Bitcoin is winning the fight after just a few cycles after its inception. So, how should Bitcoin be treated from a legal stand point? Bitcoin white paper is a great base line to start.

Technology is a double-edged sword that can be used for good or for evil. That is what took us to do things like the 2084 - Make Orwell Fiction Again podcast.

This paper explores the challenges and possibilities of engaging key stakeholders to unlock Bitcoin's true purpose and full potential. The current landscape reveals a notable gap between Bitcoin's revolutionary promise and its practical use in everyday transactions. The barrier to the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin is a lack of understanding among vital actors in media, academia, business, and the retail sectors. In bridging this gap, it is crucial to foster greater cognition and collaboration with these stakeholders, who have the power to shape public perception and drive widespread acceptance. In addition, developing alternative systems and communities is vital to demonstrating Bitcoin's practical use cases and benefits. Initiatives such as Bitcoin circular economies exemplify how localized, self-sustaining ecosystems can thrive using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. These models highlight Bitcoin's utility and serve as blueprints for broader implementation.

The current system, built on a centralized fiat standard, simply doesn\u2019t work for small growers trying to develop a niche of coffee connoisseurs and aficionados.\nJorge, returned to his native El Salvador, embarked on a new journey.

This resonance with the archetypal energy of Uranus, associated with long-term memory, creates a fractal wave that enables deep, intuitive remembering.\nStructured into three parts, it examines mythological narratives, historical cycles, and practical applications of Promethean\u2019s principles, emphasizing true liberation through overcoming generational trauma and cultivating a new civilization. With significant astrological shifts anticipated in 2025, the presentation compares these to previous cycles\u2014like the end of the Crusades, the Reformation, and revolutionary wars\u2014and aligns them with the current Fourth Turning, highlighting the potential for profound change.

This use-case somewhat overlaps with Bitcoin testnets, but can have better incentives for the purpose of testing and finding exploits in experimental technologies due to the real economic value of the sidechain in contrast to testnets.\n\nSidechains have also been described as a potential solution for scaling Bitcoin payments, especially before the advent of the Lightning Network, although the trust and security tradeoffs implied for this use-case are generally worse than using BTC on the mainchain or on the Lightning Network, and perhaps even more importantly, network effects of Pegged Bitcoin on Sidechains are separate from and in some sense competing with those of the Lightning Network.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "CGYFNW", "name": "Andreas Kohl", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/CGYFNW_B4ZfEod.webp", "biography": "Andreas Kohl is a self-taught former accountant, public policy analyst, and prize-winning Austrian Economist, recognised for writing about Liechtenstein\u2019s unique political model.

Sounds familiar? There are no volcanoes, but a third of the country is a lake and 95% of its power comes from hydro. There\u2019s also a small bitcoin mining operation thanks to Gridless that lights up a remote village in a country where only 15% of people have electricity.\n\nWhen I moved to Malawi in 2014 the local Kwacha currency was about 450 to the dollar and is now closing in on 2,500. Last November the central bank devalued by 44% overnight. Meanwhile it caps interest rates on savings at 4% but says inflation is 40%. Unsurprisingly, nobody saves in money and dollars are scarce and highly regulated. \n\nSo even the staple food maize becomes monetised, a better store of value than the Kwacha. In town, people store value in land, bricks and mortar, pushing prices ever higher. In rural areas, livestock is preferred, with goats outnumbering adults. But this \u2018store of value\u2019 eats everything and so new trees never grow to replace those felled for making bricks and charcoal. This leaves poor soils and no defence against storms, a disaster in a country where 85% of people depend on agriculture for survival.\n\nIt's an endless cycle of poverty with fiat money being the root of it all. In search of an answer, donors have dumped billions of dollars on the country with questionable results, but it may be that an anonymous coder provides the real solution. \n\nI co-founded Bitcoin Boma with Grant Gombwa and Nick Twyman as a means of stirring up grassroots bitcoin adoption and influencing policy towards sound money.
