Since the 1970s the fiat system slowly strangled the nuclear industry.
Nuclear energy requires a low time preference — decades of planning, patient capital, long-term trust. Fiat incentives reward short-term wins, not century-scale stewardship.
Instead of building reactors, we built debt.

For the most part everyone was very receptive to the idea. Typical stuff like why not other cryptos, what about when issuance runs it's course, how do I get my hands on some of these ASICs, why not just a traditional datacenter...Margot and Troy's Locust and Dung Beetle paper was very helpful for that one
There was crazy smart Russian fella though that had some good challenges though. Mostly he was stuck in the old framework of why not just use diesel or gas for peaking because intentionally installing excess nuclear capacity, especially at first when SMRs are still very costly per MW projects, which is kind of true if the miner is buying power and not the asset owner. He was also hung up on how running ASICs at <95% load factor would have long payback. But as I explained that you can use different efficiency tiers to cover a range of load factors he seemed to be more open to the idea.
More than anything I spent most of the week educating folks on the history of monetary technologies, and ranting about negative societal impacts of inflationary money. For a highly educated bunch, they were sorely lacking in this area, unless they came from a nation where inflation is brutal.

Lookie what I found on an endless loop of ads while attending the International Youth Nuclear Congress conference in Abu Dhabi.
Needless to say, having this in the background made for some interesting conversations. Especially when one is in attendance to extoll the awesome synergies of integrating Bitcoin mining with off-grid Nuclear assets. https://image.nostr.build/8e2db7bf5ddd346bc51edfb502d071e9b2523c16f2d76c35e1c3a85730e34bff.jpg

I agree...for now. Once Gen IV tech matures and proliferation that calculus will in nuclear's favour shift.

Yes, I am very much aware of the current paradigm.
China and Russia have successfully built small reactors, so no longer fantasy.
I'm not trying to generate power for a home. I'm talking about an array of microgrids dotted across the globe bringing power to the billions that are still without, and supporting a high tech society that values energy density.
Wind and solar will always have a role to play for hyper local decentralization but in the log run nuclear is the most effective way to meet the power needs of humanity well into the future.
