We shouldn’t take the “Bitcoin is good for renewables” stance. Even if it’s true, they’ll twist it and we lose ground.

Don’t apologize for using ANY energy. PERIOD. #Bitcoin  also uses fossil fuels.

They can go pound sand about it for all I care. Looking at you, NY Times

While i think its important for people to fight them on their own mental turf ( people that take the nytimes intraveinously just cant wrap their minds around a world where fossil fuels are considered anything other than evil), i completely agree with this opinion. I also do see validity in the potential trap that fighting on their turf presents.

That’s why I say we shouldn’t. It isn’t wrong to, but just less effective in my opinion. Keep fighting the good fight.

Bitcoin will win either way and prove these institutions obsolete, only a matter of time.
