2nd positive article on bitcoin from Financial Times in as many months.

Financial Times is moving from myth-perpetuating to myth-debunking mode

I just about fell off my chair.

In what is a significant shift, The Financial Times just published its first cautiously pro-Bitcoin ESG article.

Have you thought about a LN paywall version? Pay sats to read each article…… I remember nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy used to have it on one of his sites. Was a mind blowing experience being able to pay sats to read a single essay.

Could be a helpful additional revenue/sharing mechanism. Wordpress has a plug-in.

Nice idea. I’ll check it out

Nostriches, I need your help.

Every tweet I put out on X that has the word “substack” in it, I get crickets. Roughly 10% of the engagement of when I don’t!

I put together a newsletter format of my work recently. I did it because hyperbitcoinization requires a narrative shift in bitcoin and the environment.

There is $23Trillion in ESG investment funds that is getting curious about bitcoin right now. But unless they have good data on why Bitcoin is positive for the environment they can’t invest. If just 1% of these funds got deployed into bitcoin it would life Bitcoin’s market cap to 3x its current level.

So anything you can do here to spread the word freely without an algorithm suppressing content would help a lot, and also be a victory for Nostr

The newsletter is short, punchy, lots of pretty charts, free, and made to be shared by non-bitcoiners to help orangepill them.

Please subscribe, share on Nostr and encourage others to share and subscribe too.

#002: All Time Highs

https://danielbatten.substack.com/p/issue-002-all-time-highs?r=26zy4u

Now if we can just get pieces like this in BBC news, NYTimes, WSJ …

My latest piece: yes, Bitcoin is actually already helping water security in one of the world’s driest nations. And it is on track to rinse and repeat this model.

Exactly. That’s why most don’t see it. I share the “use to the global south” data because it halts the “bitcoin has no use” argument (often used by progressives who would say they care about the global south) in its tracks.
