If you hear a no-coiner talking about bitcoin mining and its energy use and carbon footprint, send them this article. It’s neutral and cuts through a lot of the bullshit. It’s also not from any bitcoin publication, so it wouldn’t be instantly dismissed as biased.
Honestly pretty impressed with HBR for this coverage, even though (or especially because?) it’s a few years old.

Ugh, my kingdom for an edit button. Correct reaction gif: 
Ordinals? Look, I don’t own any, but as a guy with a hefty bag of NFTs on ETH, I can say I get the appeal.
BRC-20 though? Come on. I mean I know this is the pot calling the kettle black here but random tokens are the epitome of degeneracy. You don’t need shit like that on any L1; it’s just a meme coin and everybody knows it.
But the protocol allows it and there’s nothing that can be done about it so, I guess…
Hold up, what app is that that can show the block height in a Lock Screen widget? I was just looking for something like that.
Not a developer, but I’ve used both as an end user and the experience is very similar. I love the plugin functionality on CLN and use that client as my main node. But not having ThunderHub is a bummer (it currently only supports LND)
Work.
Compared to the size and frequency of bank failures leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, this is still just a walk in the park.
Agreed but 90% of the time these cases amount to he said/she said and we all know who wins that argument.
“The government says you’re not allowed on my property so I’m literally going to kill you if you trespass!”
“But you’re not allowed to kill people just because they step on your land”

My kid just realized the power of the word “no,” thus beginning the Terrible Twos epoch.
Thank god for this song about fire trucks, otherwise we would have absolutely no way of getting him to do anything.
Catchy, too.
