Is Bitcoin Mining Worth It in 2026? Home vs. Hosted, Honestly

Best Bitcoin Mining Hosting Companies (2026): Who to Trust With Your Miner

Bitcoin Is Coiled and Nobody Cares
Bitcoin has spent months grinding through a narrow range while 30-day realized volatility sits near multi-year lows and market interest dries up.
"Bessent wants the FIMA repo facility upsized. He's no longer dealing with a recalcitrant Fed. He's dealing with his boy Kevin Warsh." @MartyBent and @JohnArnoldTen31 on the evolving Fed-Treasury relationship.

Flock revoked a ticketed journalist's access to their Flock Forward conference and then contacted the hotel to cancel his personal room reservation on his behalf.
"2024 is 'Dear God, we need somebody to fix it and all we have is Donald Trump. Get in there and fix it.' A wartime leader has to have laser-focused strategic vision. Trump has just objectively not been doing that." @MartyBent and @honestpollster on the squandered mandate. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

Anthropic's annualized revenue hit $65 billion by the end of July, more than 7x its run rate at the end of 2025. Q2 revenue came in above $11.5 billion, up from $787 million in the same quarter last year and $4.73 billion in Q1 2026. The company is now posting positive adjusted operating income. For context, the run rate crossed $47 billion in May. OpenAI recently exceeded $40 billion. Anthropic has filed confidentially for an IPO with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan. 14x year-over-year revenue growth with positive operating income. The AI compute buildout is not theoretical. It is generating real, accelerating revenue at a scale that would have been unthinkable 18 months ago.
Nous Research just launched Bot Mode for Hermes Desktop. Build named AI agents with their own roles, models, memory, and skills that can talk to each other. Personal multi-agent systems are going local.
"Our entire military doctrine doesn't really work. We've built massive platforms that can't defend against low-cost munitions China is well equipped to manufacture." @MartyBent and @honestpollster on the US-China confrontation over AI and modern warfare. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

Meta goes to trial tomorrow in a case that could cost $1.4 trillion. Four state AGs led by California's Rob Bonta are taking Meta to federal court alleging the company knowingly designed Facebook and Instagram to addict children. They want court-ordered product redesigns: stricter age enforcement, deletion of AI algorithms trained on kids' data, removal of infinite scroll. Meta's own attorneys disclosed damages could reach $1.4 trillion. Plaintiff states say $200 billion is more likely. Either would be unprecedented. Meta already lost twice this year. An LA jury found them liable for negligent design. New Mexico ordered $942 million in penalties plus product changes. The case is built on whistleblower docs showing Meta knew its platforms harmed teens and chose profits over safety.
"$432 billion deficit in a single month. Interest on the debt now surpasses healthcare and defense spending. There are two ways out: hyperinflation or we get completely crushed." @MartyBent and @honestpollster on the fiscal death spiral. x.com/TFTC21/status/…
RFK Jr. says HHS is accelerating research and treatment for Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome.
"DOGE was the most popular thing Republicans had ever done with under-40 voters. They got sent packing because it endangered the status quo in DC." @honestpollster says the party would rather lose than let the coalition change anything. x.com/TFTC21/status/…

NVIDIA just backstopped $105B in residual value guarantees on AI data center leases. $24.7M per MW of guarantee capacity roughly equals the entire non-silicon cost of building a greenfield data center. Bullish signal for powered-shell developers like Bitcoin miners sitting on land and grid interconnects.
