yeah it's a pretty high amount, but I'm not super current on the going rate. but lots of PR firms out there, some less than legit
I think $6,000 an article, judging by the spam emails I've gotten on the topic in the past. Ofc, I never accept/consider those offers, and you get insta-banned from the platform if you've done this, and your articles are removed.
I wrote an overview article on the latest on the Digital Yuan/e-CNY for Forbes.
Summary: not a ton of adoption, but plenty of reasons for concern, as China continues to integrate the digital Yuan/CBDC with other countries.

This is probably the chart I spend the most time thinking about. You can fit a lot into this bad boy: history, industrial policy, food policy, geopolitics, defense, energy usage, compute (including Bitcoin), monetary policy etc.
The big upshot is that much of the prosperity we see around us, and the number of people on the planet are due to a more than 9x increase in the amount of energy consumption from the 1940s to now. Can we maintain that energy growth going forward?

Gotta give some love to Node Academy - thanks to nostr:npub1spyzucqh3skwn9k6d4n4wl6k52evglxtrjzvs8et09sxxl9hrduq945j7y for putting this together. The most comprehensive and easiest guide to get your own Lightning node running and truly control your own payments and "be your own bank."
Not sure about that, everybody has their different reasons, but it sounds like Nostr is funner and has more privacy (no identifier to sign up)
Here’s a few you could check out:

None are bitcoin businesses. They all accept bitcoin as payments, and don’t auto convert. Interesting angle!
Thanks!
Yeah, I like to do this as well haha, there are defs hotspots like Prague/Vancouver that pop out
Cool, let me know, they can reach me here! The article is scheduled for next Tuesday, so if I can get quotes/links from people before next Monday that'd be ideal - thanks a lot Will!
Thanks for the list!
Had a few of those up, but added a couple as well. I actually interviewed Proton's CEO a year ago about it haha https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/10/06/protons-ceo-on-why-they-continue-to-take-bitcoin-and-the-future-of-encryption/
Already have a few like Casa and nostr:npub1wu4aye7ll0lnrrg638e90sehzsgpzx5t39t3mwl05aa0d0ap08esdz3vw0 highlighted, but would love to add more!
Working on an article for Forbes, does anybody know cool businesses (especially non-Bitcoin oriented ones) that take Bitcoin as payment - would love to incorporate as many as possible.
I still remember the days when we were "too simple, sometimes naive"
