My most energetic interview to date! In a real fireside chat, #[0] & I explore:
🔸️ How miners are incentivizing energy & waste mgt infrastructure development, from Texas to Africa. We also dive into how PRTI (a tech + energy company) is solving the global problem of waste tires & mining Bitcoin.
🔸️ Reflecting on my decade in government, I consider the different regulatory approaches have been taken by North America vs El Salvador & how having a low time preference can help attract & retain businesses.
🔸️ We end off ephasizing the importance of sharing uplifting Bitcoin stories & it's benefits across multiple sectors of the economy (from farms, to district heating, to energy & waste mgt). My favourite story is how Bitcoin mining is creating economic opportunities in Africa & protecting gorillas in the Congo.
I believe everyone has their own & their family's story they can weave together to bolster thejr understanding of "why Bitcoin" & I also share mine - from escaping communism with all our possessions in our tiny Fiat car, to the theft of land & art in my family - stories that influenced my Bitcoin journey.
