The Digital Assets Research Institute (DARI) is live. www.da-ri.org This is a hub for high quality articles, mostly peer reviewed, on the social and environmental impacts of digital assets. Why the need?: every nascent technology goes through a rite of passage where it is treated with suspicious and doubt initially. This happened with the Internet, before that the computer, and before that the bicycle, the printing press, even books themselves. As technologies become better understood, the quality of scholarship and research into them improves, and old studies based on misapprehensions, or poor methodologies get debunked. DARI is dedicated to rigor in digital asset research, to properly inform policy-makers, regulators and ESG investment committees with data-based insights on digital assets and their impact on people and the environment. Enjoy!

Elizabeth Warren and community notes: a natural match

I’ve just launched a new geyser fund project. What do you think. Is this something valuable? Are there other things you’d like me to be working on that would be valuable to bitcoin as a whole? Whether it’s ideas, encouragement or contributions to a project - everything makes a difference.

Geyser | Bitcoin Crowdfunding Platform

A Bitcoin crowdfunding platform where creators raise funds for causes, sell products, manage campaigns, and engage with their community.

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.
