The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has been actively monitoring the cryptocurrency sector, including Bitcoin mining, due to concerns about its environmental impact, energy consumption, and implications for financial stability. Their 400-page report disclosed a strong stance against commercial Bitcoin mining. This report will also empower the ECB to devise ESG rules around institutional investment into Bitcoin and hereby economically disincentivize investment into Bitcoin and related products. @Daniel Batten on x “The EU Central Banks have the resources, knowledge of legal process, history of peer reviewed misinformation on BTC environmental impact.” Let’s back the ODFoundation founders 🙏🏽 @Lyudmyla Kozlovska and @Bota Jardemalie who have spent 18 months reading every EC document and fighting for the Bitcoin mining industry, often without the support they deserve. https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2024-07/ESMA75-453128700-1229_Final_Report_MiCA_CP2.pdf

With the arrest of Telegram’s CEO Durov in France, just a reminder that #chatcontrol is also back on the agenda of EU governments. The Chatcontrol law in the EU could end end-to-end encryption, threatening user privacy by enabling real-time scanning of private messages. “They will discuss “progress” on 10/11 October and are to endorse it on 12/13 December. In June we managed to stop the unprecedented plan by an extremely narrow “blocking minority” of EU governments: Chat control proponents achieved 63.7% of the 65% of votes threshold required in the Council of the EU for a qualified majority.” @Patrick Breyer Take action to stop #chatcontrol

We have launched our @Geyser Bitcoin Adoption for Wildlife fundraiser as it is important for Bitcoin's impact to extend beyond human rights and wellfare considerations to include animals' protection as well.

Bitcoin, a conservative investment. "The currency is not just a promising company or a new technology, but it can reshape the entire global economy. An economy with which we can build the cathedrals of tomorrow. In this regard, the world is given a new opportunity with bitcoin. It gives me goosebumps when I think about what bitcoin can mean for our children and grandchildren." Very well articulated by @TuurDemeester 🙏🏽👌🏽 ⬇️ https://www.tijd.be/markten-live/homepage/Cryptobelg-Tuur-Demeester-Bitcoin-is-net-een-heel-conservatieve-belegging/10535029?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1711123726

Exciting news to unpack 🎄🎅🏻 🎁 these Christmas Days for our @Izindlovu Fund as we are happy to share with you that Adine Roode, founder of South Africa’s first elephant orphanage 🐘🐘🐘 HERD Trust | Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development, will be attending @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town in January to learn more on bitcoin adoption for the conservation of the elephants' future! 🐘 #BitcoinForConservation Our fund supports wildlife organisations such as HERD 🐘🐘🐘 & Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit by creating awareness & raising funds in Europe for elephant protection in South-Africa. As raising donations for wildlife organisations is a struggle every year, we believe that ngo’s who actively work on wildlife protection can benefit from Bitcoin adoption to secure their future.

Help us cover the female Mamba rangers’ travel costs to @Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town ! 🌟 🙏🏼 Please donate to or share our @Geyser fundraiser: Https://geyser.fund/project/theblackmambas/ ➡️ Through our @Izindlovu Fund collaboration with Hermann from @BitcoinEkasi they will also be able to visit the Bitcoin Ekasi Center to explore what a bitcoin circular economy could mean for themselves and their own community. ➡️ We need around 6.300.000 Sats to get 4 members of their team to the conference. If we can not raise that much, we will try to get 2 members. If we would be able to raise more, the funds will be used to fund the community with sats. ➡️ The @blackmambasapu participation will enable them to gain insights into adopting the Bitcoin technology for enhanced financial and transactional security within their local communities together with responsability for protecting their wildlife environment in a sustainable way.

My post on meet-up Belgian Bitcoin Embassy next Tuesday with Ben Van Hool speaking about Aqua Wallet has been removed because of illegal content or regulated products and services. 🤯 Not sure what the trigger was. On X no problem sharing. Anybody experience on this matter? @JAN3
