I've just had a conversation with my youngest brother about #Bitcoin right after I gave my teenager nephew (his son) a few onchain sats as birthday present.

Brother's pov:

- it's bad because pow mining adds extra energy consumption to our civilization without a clear benefit for mankind, except to the very few bitcoiners.

- quantum computing will break it

soon or later

I'd like to provide him with some based articles to read about these topics.

Do you have any links to deep articles that I could share with my bro?

Btw I'm finding some online short articles mentioning nostr:nprofile1qqsglmzzvfrcgk7aymek4e8hxaggc9wmasrag08p37xpx64euddvyysppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp08w6g8e 's deep studio about it but can't find the source unless I subscribe to Daniel's substack so I'm not asking for this exact text, but related or similar documents or even videos.

It's not going to be easy to orange pill my brother but let's try!

Thanx in advance 😘

You can check out DARI www.da-ri.org, batcoinz.com. DARI has a science hub which has all the latest peer reviewed research. Also my latest LinkedIn Articles document the charts showing why even mainstream media has now moved on from bashing bitcoin over energy concerns.

Thank you šŸ¤—

If he’s concerned about the human rights aspect of it, you could have him read Alex Gladsteinā€˜s book which makes the opposite argument

Nice, thnx! šŸ™

If quantum computing can break Bitcoin we have bigger problems. Military secrets, nuclear weapons, internet… all will be compromised. An attacker with the ability to break all of the industrialized world is not ā€œbad for Bitcoinā€, it’s bad for everyone everywhere.

Yep that was very similar to my reply, but normies repeat that quantum fud bs like a mantra. And added " even if the bitcoin protocol evolves to quantum resistant, then all previous energy would have been waste"

Facepalm facepalm

But there's hope, he ain't stupid, in fact he's a PhD engineer, Linux sys admin, he likes to solve equation problems in his free time.

How can you like maths and dislike Bitcoin? Too biased?

He’ll get there someday, hopefully. Every Bitcoin maxi has to start somewhere.
