Last year one of the investors into our climate tech said he was against bitcoin for environmental reasons.

I calmly asked him why he believed that. I heard him out and said “I can understand how you came to those conclusions. I have some spent time looking in this. Would you like to hear what I learnt?”

He said ok. So I addressed each of the three points he raised with evidence.

Ten minutes later he asked if our next fund would be a bitcoin mining fund.
