UK wastes 1 billion pounds each year in curtailed wind energy by not mining bitcoin.
The Guardian, who has been one of the world’s biggest Bitcoin gaslighters over the years, just ran this headline.
Can’t make this stuff up.
People have been asking me to open source the ways I’ve used to orangepill the large swathe of people who have swallowed the FUD and have environmental / “it’s used by criminals” type reservations about bitcoin.
This is most of the early majority. AKA: the next wave of adopters.
This week I finally was able to clear some space and write it up, so here it is.
Enjoy!
Turns out if you are angry, venting doesn’t help reduce it and nor does exercise, in fact both may increase it.
(Ohio State University meta-study that analyzed 154 studies on anger)
What did the study find worked? slow yoga, breathing exercises and meditation.
Happy ending.
Earlier today Environment America put up an article called "Bitcoin’s purposeless power problem" which was full of defunded claims about Bitcoin’s environmental impact.
They have now removed their article from their site after I wrote to them pointing out numerous factual errors, with citations and data.
Bitcoin can give many freedoms. And … the highest freedoms, Bitcoin cannot give you. No asset or technology can. You can have all the self-custódiese Bitcoin, but …
If your mind continually from past events, to future plans, and you are unable to have it stay anchored in the present, then you are not free
If you get triggered and your emotions are decided by the words of others, then you are not free
If you get irate and frustrated whenever someone criticises bitcoin then you are not free
If you have many unrealised desires and ambitions that you believe you need to be fulfilled before you can be content, then you are not free.
If your mind gets unsettled when events do not go the way you want without delays or imperfections etc, then you are not free
If while maintaining money, you fear losing it in the future, then you are not free
If you feel fear when you lose some money or resources from your life, then you are not free
If after realising one financial goal you feel compelled to quickly set a bigger one, then you are not free.
