Two bitcoin conferences in the span of a week. Life forever changed. Left last Thursday for MN for the Mining Conference where I had the honor to introduce Daniel Batten’s recorded keynote, proved to everyone I am a sadist for loving how brutal mining is, and talked about the importance of supporting our work at the Bitcoin Policy Institute and my research on bitcoin mining! Then, back in Nashville, TN for an incredible Human Rights Foundation bitcoin summit. Met the most incredible humans from around the world. And somewhere in between, I became the next host of @The Progressive Bitcoiner ! Just another week…

As new host of @The Progressive Bitcoiner, I think we should do a bitcoiner version of, “here it is, your moment of zen” that provides a little savage levity… I dunno, thinking Saifedean’s show probably has a lot of material to pull from. Good morning, everyone. I take no prisoners.

As new host of @The Progressive Bitcoiner, I'm going to need some help! I'm looking for a volunteer who can manage our social media accounts. If that's you, please send me a DM!

I don’t think of myself as having much sway but I am voting for @DrJillStein and @ButchWare in November. We must dismantle the US imperial War Machine beginning with ending the genocide in Gaza and putting an end to the recent escalation in broader regional war. Even though you have been led to believe you can only vote for Democrats or Republicans, you actually can choose to make a different choice. Vote for peace.

Finally, governments are taking on the plastic industry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2024/09/23/california-sues-exxonmobil-plastics-recycling/
