Over 2000 views in the 4 days since this went up If you know anyone who still believes Bitcoin is anything other than positive for the environment, and has a spare 27 mins to have their beliefs challenges, this is the video to send them.

Energy misinformation about Bitcoin has been by far the most effective way critics have been able to find to stop Bitcoin “crossing the chasm” from early adopters to early majority. Unfortunately for them, the flaws in the studies that underpinned the FUD have now been brutally exposed and I just put together a plain English dismantling of the misinformation that you don’t have to be a grid operator to understand.

While EU has been busy gaslighting bitcoin, Japan has been busy researching it. Kenji Tateiwa, president of Agile Energy X Inc., based in Tokyo “Green energy producers have to operate their businesses on the assumption that part of the power they generate is wasted,” he said. “If bitcoin were to provide a new source of income, that would prompt more green energy to be introduced.”

Life is full of surprises. I've just had a personal win I never imagined, my first time as an co-author of a piece of peer reviewed academic work. The article, in Journal of Cleaner Production (Impact rating: 9.7) shows Bitcoin mining can profitably reduce landfill methane, where other technologies cannot It’s also 10 out of the last 11 papers on Bitcoin mining showing environmental benefits. Great work Murray Rudd and Dennis Porter who did most of the work in this paper. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652624029652?via%3Dihub

Just did this podcast on the Bitcoin Layer with Nik Bhatia. My work doesn’t normally get more than a few thousand views. But this one had 17k views - in the top 10 most viewed out of 275 on the Bitcoin Layer channel. Thanks for all those who took the time to watch it, and for the very encouraging comments.
