A new FUD-busting video has just been released

This is a good one to share with those new to bitcoin mining. Particularly those who may have been influenced by a report by GreenpeaceUSA that was full of errors.

It objectively & unantagonistically outlines the mistakes GreenpeaceUSA make in their position on bitcoin mining

The presenter is Roger Detente (@CapCrafterUS on X)

Nice one. Done.

I’ve just launched a new geyser fund project.

What do you think. Is this something valuable? Are there other things you’d like me to be working on that would be valuable to bitcoin as a whole?

Whether it’s ideas, encouragement or contributions to a project - everything makes a difference.

Bitcoin mining is to energy independence as Bitcoin is to monetary independence

Thanks Ben. I agree. My wife has different ideas !

Thank Shawn. Yes this is a good idea worth investigating. Maybe I’m missing something obvious - I’m just not sure to whom I could consult and on what! Feel free to suggest some areas if you feel I’m missing something.

Hey nostriches, I need your help with some advice.

After 2 years doing my best to counter bitcoin FUD pretty much full time I’ve run out of financial gas to keep doing this.

Wouldn’t be an issue except I have a family and I’m the sole income earner. CH4Capital will eventually pay me something, but at what point is uncertain. Infrastructure deployment on landfills takes a long time and we are still at the site identification stage. I’m fortunate that we do have investments in early stage tech companies that are going well - but no liquidity likely for 4-5 years.

My options seem to be

A. Sell some of our modest stack believing that’ll tide us over to when CH4Capital gets up and running

B. Get a real job - within the bitcoin ecosystem. I’m very grateful that there are a couple of options here.

C. Attempt to get my newsletter to a stage that it’s paying something decent (seems the least feasible option, as it currently turns over four figures p.a).

D. Something that’s staring me in the face but I’m too blind to see it.

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

8 years ago this was the work I was 100% focused on.

Sharing here because Nostr seems to be the only platform that is unattached whether you

1. Link tonight social media platforms

2. Post about other things you care about that aren’t what you’re “known for”

Would love to hear from some others here on nostr what else you care about that you’re not known for

Bitcoin adoption is happening as slowly as the Internet

Ok we’re doing this!

Session times are

I will send a zoom link through to you on this group 24 hrs before session 1

Why to tech companies fail? The data tells us that 65% of the reasons are human-centric.

Before I started writing about Bitcoin I did a lot of work analysing this in depth and developing solutions to it. Sharing it here in case you’re a founder and can identify with one of more of these 23 reasons.
