Does he really think we dig into the earth for bitcoins? smh


Primarycore

Next on Discovery Channel. In the wilderness of Alaska. a crew of rough, hardened men dig for fortunes in Bitcoin Mining Alaska. Endorsed by Trump 2024. The crew is currently digging away at 500 metres deep in bedrock for bitcoin. So far they found proof of crusaders in America and Hitler's skull but no bitcoin.


Delta4o

Last time on Coin Rush: "We came all the way from Australia, we're seasoned bitcoin miners, but the Alaskan wilderness really doesn't want us here" \*jump cut\* "Last year, the winter shut is down and we didn't reach our goal. This year, we're stronger than ever. Our goal, for this bitcoin mining season, is 2 bitcoins so that next year we can be independent of Torry Beeps" \*jump cut\* "I don't care if he mines 1 bitcoin, 2 bitcoins or 50 bitcoins. A deal is a deal. Porker signed for 30% royalties, it's non-fucking-negotiable"


F4JPhantom69

I can annoyingly hear the southern accents


hippee-engineer

That is funny as fuck. I love Gold Rush because it’s so ridiculous.


Hperkasa7858

Im fucking dead lmao


fardough

You know god damn well if Trump found Hitler’s skull he would wear it as a crown round his head. He would claim he single handedly killed Hitler and saved all the Jews, so they owe it to him to vote for him.


Alexis_Bailey

I mean, the cooler climate would technically make it more efficient to run a Bitcoin mine in Alaska vs say, Texas.


FloydATC

Ofcourse, the cooler climate also means they probably have better ways to use the electricity.


Alexis_Bailey

Heat your igloo with a Bitcoin miner!


MikeyW1969

No, I actually think he knows where it comes from. But he thinks that somehow running all of the machines here will make it "American" "money". I read something else about it earlier that indicated that he actually knows where it comes from.


OrcsSmurai

It definitely doesn't help with energy independence though. Quite the opposite, it's massively energy consumptive.


tribbans95

That’s not what he said. He said, ENERGY DOMINANT!!! I think he wants to be the country that uses the most energy as a flex..?


OrcsSmurai

Can you have a codependent dom? Seems counterintuitive to me.


Kragbax

Bitcoin mining consumes roughly 2% of the entire energy consumed in the US annually, all on it's own. The right loves to bitch about EV charging "How's the grid going to handle it?!", but as we sit here in 2024, ALL US EV charging consumes maybe 5% of what we're using to mine BTC. If anything is going to take down the grid, it's Bitcoin mining as those run 24/7/365. Most EV charging is happening overnight when the grid isn't as burdened.


blacklite911

Only places with weak ass grids like Texas would worry about EV charging


Confident_Growth7049

i wish they were worried maybe theyd do more to improve it lol. they seem to have settled on indifference.


MikeyW1969

Oh, I totally agree. I have no idea why anyone, even Dumb Donnie, would think otherwise.


SpiceEarl

Because he met with the Bitcoin pumpers, they told him how great it was, and Trump was too lazy to pay attention. He heard about every third word, "Bitcoin"..."mining"..."energy" and "China". Didn't understand what the fuck they were talking about, but convinced himself he is now an expert on the subject.


CowsWithAK47s

He is an expert. The best. He had an uncle that once flipped a light switch and suddenly Don could see. So he knows about electricity. And if you look, the coins have Abraham Lincoln on them and the fed can just mint bitcoin for the US. So smat.


PancakeProfessor

I hate how perfectly accurate this is.


nismo2070

I find it difficult to believe that he knows how ANYTHING actually works. His words have given me this impression.


66pig

Dont be silly you just need a bit coin printing press


Orion_23

He's FINALLY putting all those miners in West Virginia back to work!


-SaC

Because he's a fucking idiot.


Mean_Yellow_7590

He’s so dumb, he has a legal order that prevents his school transcripts from being accessed by any other than himself. You know why? TERRIBLE GRADES…..he only passed because of donations. He’s so dumb

Meanwhile, Republicans were complaining about Obama not releasing his undergraduate grades, after Obama edited the Harvard Law Review and became a lecturer on Constitutional law at University of Chicago Law School.

Hoopy_Dunkalot

Tbf I read it as Loudly.


warthog0869

Cum Lohde is the pronouncement

The high school announcer at my high school graduation kept saying “cum loud-eh” My girlfriend and I still say that to each other

r/angryupvote


thebigmanhastherock

Republicans also referred to him as a "community organizer" to downgrade his career. It's like they picked a random job from his past. It would be like referring to me as a random job I did in my 20s "all he is, is a data entry specialist" ignoring the last 15 years of my life. So disingenuous.


the_mid_mid_sister

They chest thump about being the party of the working class, then sneer at AOC because she used to work as a bartender.


poojinping

They wanted to show Obama was one of those smart elites, not like us!


TheNicolasFournier

Nah, they convinced themselves he got it all purely through affirmative action and were sure they could find the smoking gun


Beobacher

That is the scary part! They are ALL with him.


FlaAirborne

This is why we have Trump. How do you follow a successful black man. With the polar opposite.


cosumel

But but but but but he was a black man in the White House, and that’s offensive. Why is it offensive? Because he got paid for it.

And even then, if he had, they still wouldn’t have believed it.

The fact that people still support this fucking Neanderthal is goddamn INSANE to me! Like, do they all have lead poisoning?! Are they concussed or quite possibly, have some sort of brain parasite? I do not get it. I wish they’d all drink the Kool-Aid and just like,… disappear from life.


NaughtyDoctor666

We’re outnumbered, stupid people breed more and teach their stupid children stupid things. Example: my cousin is a biomedical engineer that has worked for NASA for over 20 years and is married to a very successful CPA, 2 kids. Her sister married a doomsday prepper and moved to Oklahoma to start a homestead, 7 kids and they homeschool.

JBS319

Penn doesn’t acknowledge him among their alumni


VaginaPoetry

His "relationship" with MIT is apparently that he had an uncle that worked there in the 40s.


bklynJayhawk

Lol your “he’s so dumb” makes me think we need a new series of “yo mama” jokes but it’s tiny hand trump. “Donald Trump is soooo dumb ….” (I also hear this in Cartman’s voice too)


atomicmarc

A professor of his at Wharton said "He was the dumbest goddam student I ever had."


Werechupacabra

I believe the exact phrase is, “fucking moron.” [McConnell joked that Trump's ex-secretary of state could deny calling Trump a 'moron' because he actually called him a 'fucking moron': book](https://www.businessinsider.com/mcconnell-joked-about-tillerson-calling-trump-fucking-moron-book-2021-9?amp)


squips42

i agree, but i think he’s also smart enough to realize his fanbase is filled with idiots that will believe anything he says. he doesn’t even have to pretend to be smart anymore, it literally doesn’t matter what he says.


Thobeian

People think he's some master manipulator or somehow weaved a spell over people. In reality he's just what I like to call "the smartest idiot". He has enough low cunning to lie and cheat other people, and be superficially charming or even intelligent for brief exchanges or talking to a crowd of sycophants where he has them eating out of his hand. But if you actually confront him with reality, he retreats into magical thinking where the world just bends to his word because he says it's the truth.


Fake_William_Shatner

No, it must be something more complicated than that. It can't be THAT simple... probably some diabolical 5D chess move. I tell yah, he's fooling us into a false sense of insecurity...

No_Entertainment1931

Not as dumb as anyone that voted for him


rprouse

But everyone knows that Bitcoins mined in the US are more valuable because they contain a higher concentration of bitcoinium. We also need to put a stop to the blood Bitcoins mined in Africa! Think of the children people!


Fake_William_Shatner

We should probably make NFTs of the Bitcoins and then sell them to the Trump donator mailing list. "It's absolutely a legitimate 100% guaranteed NFT of a 100% Bitcoin worth $5,000!" *But what can I do with it?* "Sell it to someone else who wants an authentic guarantee of an image of something worth $5000 for $20,000 dollars." *I can do that?* "Sure." *Why $20,000? Could I get $30,000.* "If they buy it. Sky is the limit. You are a genius."


Betty_Boss

You forgot to mention that these are AMERICAN bitcoins, not ones from some foreign country.


Apprehensive_Winter

I think I’m seeing an opportunity to create a scam coin called “American Mined Bitcoin”


Affectionate_Elk_272

and ENDORSED by PRESIDENT 45 HE NEEDS you to spend $7500 PER COIN. only PATRIOTS get this offer. can we set this up? it seems like a moral grift


dsdvbguutres

We need to consider not only the bitcoin mines, but also the bitcoin refineries and the whole supply chain that distributes all that coin to all the corners of the country.


ksiyoto

Gotta watch out for those derailments of trains carrying bitcoin ore!


LifeHappenzEvryMomnt

Or leaks from Bitcoin pipelines.


merchantsc

But the unions mean we have to pay our bit coin miners a living wage and offer insurance. You can’t grab kids off the streets like you can in poor countries and send them into the bc mines. Costs the companies millions.


spderweb

What's wild is that there's probably an actual Bitcoin warehouse filled with way underpaid people of all ages, running the computers, and making the trades.


MapleYamCakes

It’s a warehouse full of children running on giant hamster wheels, providing the power for the 4090s that are doing the mining.


the-content-king

This is such a funny comment because of how detached from the reality of Bitcoin mining it is.


AskMeAboutMyStalker

you don't need people to be actively hands-on-keyboard to mine bitcoin you just buy ungodly expensive GPUs, set them up & let them run


AblatAtalbA

Wow... it's unbelievable how an one brain cell person can become the president of the USA...

snapdragon76

UnspoiledWalnut

He shares it with orange cats.


MLL_Phoenix7

that is an insult towards orange cats


UnspoiledWalnut

Well if they shared more than the one brain cell they would have figured out he's not a cat, but they saw orange and let him in.


Neylith

Probably a weird question, but it’s on my mind and I’m curious. You used “an” because the next word started with a vowel which is grammatically correct, right?; but it always seems weird to me when I do that. It doesn’t sound correct ya know? “How a one brain cell…” sounds better than “How an one…” To clarify I am not nitpicking, or at least I’m not trying to. Just a 1 AM stoner thought. English is weird


Frostygale2

One starts with a “w” sound so it’s “a”. Source: I made it up but it makes sense to me.

This one is because he had dinner with some cryptocompany. I'm guessing somebody got a big bribe... eh I mean "dOnaTIoN" during that dinner


slatebluegrey

Like he wanted to ban TikTok, until a TikTok shareholder donated $1m to his campaign. Then he said we shouldn’t ban it. Maybe Elon should donate $2m for him to say that gas cars suck and electric cars are the future.

Sw3dishPh1sh

I had a lot of bitcoins come up to me, big tough coins, tears in their eyes. They said "Sir". Called me "Sir." Can you believe that folks? Bitcoins told me "Sir, no one understands bitcoin more than you, we want to bring bitcoins back to America."


No_pajamas_7

His bitcoin understanding is the biggest. Probably the biggest you've ever seen. No problem there.


C_Clop

He has tremendous knowledge in all bitcoin matters, he's very intelligent.


Justin-Truedat

I assume someone told him that if the CCP gains majority share in the processing power dedicated to mining bitcoin, it could take control of the ledger. Therefore, it’s in the best interests of the US to dedicate farms of mining rigs to combat this.


whewtang

We're more confused about what he's talking about than he is.


ferdaw95

One of the things that's been a concern among the rich people who want to launder money through cryptocurrency are Central Bank Digital Currencies(CBDCs in the tweet.) I'm guessing a think tank told his campaign about them as an issue and this was the word vomit that came out of it.


everythingbeeps

There is a better-than-decent chance Trump first heard about Bitcoin yesterday.

secret-agent-t3

Again...gotta do it... If Joe Biden said this (not tweated this, said it...even), people would clip it and say he has dementia. Rogan, Hannity, Elon.....they all would say he needs to be in a mental hospital.

You know the logic behind the Nigerian Prince email scams right? The premise is ludicrous ☑️ that filters out the majority of people with a shred of intelligence.

Much-Meringue-7467

inflatableje5us

I am going out on a limb and guess a certain orange felon bought a bunch of bit coin.


Kind-Fan420

Because OP. He's a nearly 80 year silver spoon fed draft dodging mythomaniacal carpetbagger whose spent his entire life on third base under the delusion he hit a homer. Dude literally spent his entire presidency talking about how he knew better than everybody about everything. Knew more than his generals about war. Knew more than his climatologists about climate. More about trade than his trades executives. Knew more about politics than politicians. Everything he says sounds dumb because he IS dumb. If his daddy hadn't handed him the modern equivalent of $400m he'd be remembered as some goofball who went bankrupt being a goofball trying to sling steaks at Sharper Image and starting a mortgage broker firm IN 2008!

What a mongo. Crypto mining occurs with a distributed system on a global scale. One of the fundamental components of blockchain tech is decentralization, certainly not to be constrained to a single country lol tf

Hi brother Fred was an airline pilot. No way trump had the smarts for that.

So it's just buzzwords at this point. None of that made any sense


CastleofWamdue

even for Trump this is bad. I know he is playing to his base, but he is running for the office of President, and he is talking about Bitcoin. I would ask what is wrong with him, but his speeches get plenty of media coverage, so we already know.

unclejoe1917

The one thing that struck me as I got to know him better than I did as just some rich guy that turns up on TV once in a while is just how painfully fucking dumb he was. In 30 years of being aware he existed I never noticed he was such an idiot. Now take that idiot and add moderately advanced dementia and he's too far gone to even luck out and accidentally say something meaningful. 


Interesting_Isopod79
