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

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.

Loved everything about this chance to chat with @walker . If you listen closely you’ll see just how adept he is at fostering unity-in-diversity within the Bitcoin community. View quoted note →

We are actively looking to connect with landfill owners globally so we can finance more bitcoin mining. Sites that are currently venting their landfill gas, take in over 1000 tonnes/day and cannot sell power to grid preferred Yes, we give finders fees when projects result.

Whoever attacks bitcoin just ends up making it stronger. For example, GreenpeaceUSA’s attack on bitcoin inspired me to fill in some gaps in their understanding, which apparently had been inspiring more people to do mining. This is the third note I’ve received like this.
