Dear Subscriber,
While I was at the (amazing) Free Energy Summit in Lisbon last month, I had the chance to finally ask Kenji Tateiwa some questions I’d always wanted to know the answers to.
For context: Kenji was no less than the nuclear safety engineer who...
What a fascinating and uplifting story, well told and with so many learning points drawn out of it. 'Truth is necessary but not sufficient' — that really struck me, and how patience and persistence are necessary to create change.
Agreed. Kenji is an example of both innovation and tenacity - and as such has become a leader and role model of the best kind: one who never sought to be a leader but ended up becoming one through his virtues alone.
You're a wonderful writer and storyteller. Importantly, you always conclude with something that people can take away and use.
I've been impressed with seeing people use bitcoin miners to heat their chicken coop with the mindset of . I've seen people selling hot tubs where they give people a choice of how the water is heated, which follows both this antifragile paradigm and maximizing the customers they serve.
There are lots of small scale examples that people can see and act on at a personal level. If people can operate at a greenhouse level scale, that's awesome, but there are opportunities at every level. And they don't have to be "bitcoin adoption efforts," they can just be fun projects (with a side effect of educating people about bitcoin).
Thank you, and absolutely. Lead with a fun project that fills your heart, and adoption happens as an organic byproduct. A million people owning a billionth of the network hashrate through a single terahash bitaxe is already decentralizing the network and adding resilience.
A fascinating example of how persistence, not just having the right idea, is often what turns innovation into reality
Agreed. Kenji is an example to us all.

This is an incredible story—thank you, Daniel and Kenji.
Demand response and heat reuse are two Cambrian explosions of creativity currently happening in Bitcoin mining.
I learnt a new term today. I'm grateful for that and your reply. Agree, Kenji's story is inspiring and deserves sharing.
