To reiterate - because I have a feeling it may come up down the road - it's not bitcoiners' fault that governments over-spent and killed their currencies.

SpaceX will launch over 90% of all of Earth’s payload mass to orbit this year! 🤯 When Starship is launching at high rate, SpaceX will probably carry >99% of Earth’s payload mass to orbit!
If Elon consistently has top tier AI, that's a huge accelerant to all his other businesses. Bunch of feedback loops forming here.
The @xAI goal is 50 million in units of H100 equivalent-AI compute (but much better power-efficiency) online within 5 years
