 She is crude at the moment, but she is functional!  Cleaning wine making equipment with Bitcoin heated water.

 You probably could.  I think the main reason liquid to liquid heat exchangers like my plate style I used is to maximize surface area between the liquids. If it was just on the outside, it would be just a little less efficient. They make tube types out of titanium ones too that can be used with salt water. 
 Version 1 of the BTC water heater is working nicely! #hashforheat

 Wild peas near the upper vineyard. Nature makes me feel things.

 Just playing around, but 2 Terahash off of the bombardment of photons ain’t too bad.  FutureBit Apollo v1 wants the free juice

Plans to run this off a hydrogenerator in the works.

 The beginnings of the home SPA256!  Found this giant old wine barrel for $75 fiat.  It’s going to be the energy storage /hot tub heated by my home miners. More updates soon!

 Guys.. I’ve made one of the biggest decisions of my life.  I’ve sold a portion of my BTC to buy a farm.  It’s incredibly bitter sweet.

On one hand, it’s a terrible time to both sell Bitcoin and purchase property.  But on the other hand, it’s dream land.  As much water as I could possibly use and fertile land with a small established vineyard and orchard.  Plenty of outbuildings with concrete floors and 3 phase power.

I have a modest job,  dca into btc and have a couple home miners.  I’ll be moving in with family and things will be tight for awhile.

I’ve wanted my own land for as long as I can remember. Moving and selling bitcoin was incredibly easy and worry free. Once it went to USD and got to the banking system, it was frustrating and nerve racking.  I couldn’t wait get the down payment to the title company.  

It was a great example of how superior Bitcoin is to USD in just terms of moving it around, let alone it’s store of value and permission less nature. 
 Thank you! I’m crazy excited/nervous 
 That is a phenomenal way to put it:) 
 It will happen. Bitcoin feels like a loaded spring right now 
 Sound advice.  Sovereignty comes in many forms and to deny oneself the awesomeness of being able to take care of your own and protect would be a mistake.  Oh, I’ve got a few pews ;) 
 I’m pretty excited to be closer to family:) 
 Thanks man 
 Thank you 🙏 
 I’ve really never been able to save money until Bitcoin.  It has changed a lot of things for me 
 Yes!  I literally shouted that same thing out loud when I saw the property for the first time! 
 Thank you very much 
 It won’t be enough electricity to run the bitmain xp’s but I have a FutureBit Apollo miner that runs 3 TH at 250watts.  I bet i can get that puppy running off hydroelectric power! 
 Will do! 
 Oh hell yeah!  Thank you!
