Bitcoin

My father provided a good financial education and investment experience to me and my sisters growing up.

We all earned to take personal control of our own money and save it, invest it, and spend it wisely.

I’m always surprised to learn that some men and women don’t feel they have sovereignty and say over their money in life. I’m grateful my parents empowered us all in this regard.

Let’s help change this with others - with Bitcoin.

For now, I mostly have to buy my gas and food with fiat, so I better be getting 4% and 3% back in Bitcoin while I do it

Signup yourself and you get a guaranteed $50 of bitcoin: https://creditcard.exchange.gemini.com/credit-card/apply?referral_code=9j4rudbzq (plus, get an additional $200 of bitcoin based on spending after 90 days!)

True. Granted, it basically IS the standard for 100 on that scale in a way. Lol

Absolutely. I’m not a fan of it.

We almost went to Bali this year. My parents went in 2001 (?) and loved it.

Hey nostr:npub17usj0jh86ged3pt34r5j6ejzfar9s2q5dl3l84tq8ymhfj2wz08sxmkf8w create a video where Lyn Alden walks through the doors of a western saloon in an 1850’s town, all the bar patrons are printing money and they turn and look at her. She says in a menacing tone and cracks a smile: “Nothing stops this train.”

IS BITCOIN SUSTAINABLE?

Enough of the FUD; what are the FACTS

Bitcoin energy consumption rose 17% to 138 TWh annually, while hardware efficiency improved by 24% year-on-year, reaching 28.2 J/TH by June 2024. As global hashrate and energy usage has increased 📈over the years, miner efficiency and renewable energy source usage have both increased as well 👌

52.4% of energy usage is sustainable (42.6% renewables (hydro 🌊, solar ☀️, wind 💨 , geothermal 🌋), 9.8% nuclear ⚛️), up from 37.6% in 2022. Natural gas (38.2%) overtook coal (8.9%) as the largest single source. Oil and fossil fuel use is none to negligible.

86.9% of decommissioned ASIC hardware is resold, repurposed, or recycled 🔄

Trends indicate that mining companies are exploring HPC/AI 🤖, flared gas 🔥, waste-heat recovery 🔂, and demand-side response for new revenue and efficiency. (Click “Ask Grok” if you’re curious what some of these are 👆)

Greenhouse gas emissions due to bitcoin have been reduced to 39.8 MtCO₂e in 2024 (which is 0.08% of global total GHG emissions), down from 69.6 MtCO₂e in prior estimates. Nearly cut in 1/2, so far.

So what do you think? 💭

• Is the Bitcoin mining industry “a great evil”?

• Is it acting in good faith and actively seeking sustainability?
