"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken, 1921

Wow, how do you eat that? Pick it apart or is it deboned? Anyway, looks great!

Greenwar is a FUD business. Their business model is to generate profits from fear. they have no incentive to be rationale or educated about anything. that would be contrary to their mission.

a good book to check out is https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56918041-fake-invisible-catastrophes-and-threats-of-doom written by cofounder of Greenpeace

It is sad that EU regulators and public opinion are listening to #Greenpeace. This should be exposed properly.

If you are a #Bitcoin miner, don’t abandon this propaganda. Help us, end-users and human rights activists to defend bitcoin on the ongoing attack on PoW in the #EU.

One of the goals of the EU bodies, particularly the European Central Bank (#ECB), for such an approach is to use “a policy tool that disincentivises investing in such assets from the outset and prevents the build-up of transition risk through crypto-assets in the banking system” until 2025.

As end-users of Bitcoin for fundraising and payment instruments, Open Dialogue Foundation concerns that such a policy would directly affect both us and the Bitcoin industry, which services we and other activists use. Especially because the European Commission wants to “collaborate internationally with different standardisation bodies to develop the energy-efficiency label” for PoW:

“States shall implement targeted and proportionate measures to lower, and must be ready to stop, the electricity consumption of crypto-asset miners, in line with the proposed Council Regulation on an emergency intervention to address high energy prices.”

We need to do educational advocacy - over 200 face to face meetings with MPs and regulators so they can learn and ask questions from bitcoin miners they never ask in public. Just as we did thanks to nostr:npub1kp7jzme0qs3wcqjjmkq6v5fm359sclhc22glhadgtmerlr0h37nsn8487l nostr:npub1hyqrsvl6hle8r5rc9cpshesm0mpcee75tgde4p5lhke5h83dyqqqdwk7cp and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m last years with #MiCA and #AML Regulations.

We need to be able to defend our rights to use Bitcoin in a legal way. So far it seems that the fight in the EU for Bitcoin is more important for activists than for bitcoiners, because everyone is excited about Bitcoin ETFs in the US, or believes that the market will solve the problem in the EU/move to other jurisdictions, or just doesn't believe in engaging with politicians to educate them. 😔

And I understand and respect all of that arguments, but we as human rights defenders have no place to move and we operate there, in the EU. 🙏

We need your support.

Now, before it is too late.

What’s up nostr!

Found out about this place from a friend of mine, nostr:npub1jfn4ghffz7uq7urllk6y4rle0yvz26800w4qfmn4dv0sr48rdz9qyzt047. Been off of social media for about 9 years now. Looking to network with other bitcoiners and engage in the community in an authentic way and keep learning about btc.

My origin story for coming to #bitcoin was back in 2016: I used to be an online poker pro and got a physical check from a site I was playing on for about $800 that was from a Canadian bank and the banks in the US wouldn’t cash an international check without due process. Long story short, 2 months later I finally got my share of that money $500, and the banks got their $300. From that point on I’ve been learning about btc. Tho I did shitcoin for a while last halving.

Great to be here!
