Theodor Weimer, CEO der Deutschen Börse, hat sich glasklar über den Standort Deutschland und Vizekanzler Habeck ("eine schiere Katastrophe") geäußert. Investoren verlangten Risikoaufschläge und mieden das Land. „So schlecht wie jetzt war unser Ansehen in der Welt noch nie.“
This is the video about #Bitcoin that Elizabeth Warren and her band of cronies, don’t want you to see.
Share this with EVERYONE.

Literally an authorized participant for ETF creation and tells you not to get involved with Bitcoin.
Can you imagine the CEO of Bank ever saying to not get involved with any other asset they list?
Hypocrisy.
The 3 reasons measuring Bitcoin resource use per tx is not a meaningful metric
Source: Cambridge Judge Business School, 2018
Didn't stop BBC, The Independent, New Scientist, The Verge, NY Times et al publishing a study that used the debunked metric tho

The claim that terrorists "received $82m" in crypto transfers is a gigantic lie. Chainalysis thinks it's probably sub $1m. Politicians harassing the crypto space with this are simply malicious fabulists. They should be community noted at every turn

Last week, the @WSJ published an article claiming about $90 million worth of crypto was used to fund Hamas — a serious claim that gained significant attention.
In response to the article, anti-Bitcoin politicians directly linked the WSJ article as evidence in a letter to the White House and Treasury “to address the serious national security threats posed by crypto’s use to finance terrorism.”
Later, it was confirmed that the article was patently false. It was straight up fake news. This was confirmed by @chainalysis, which ran the numbers.
Turns out the authors of the article mistakenly counted an entire exchanges’s trading volume ($82 million) for a terrorist group’s address. Rookie move! The actual funds that went to known terrorist-linked addresses was substantially less.
“Of the roughly $82 million in cryptocurrency received by this address, about $450,000 worth of funds were transferred from the known terror-affiliated wallet. Given the activity of this address, the person or group of people controlling it is likely not the same person that controls the terror-affiliated wallet, but is rather a service provider that knowingly or unknowingly facilitated the terror financing activity.”
So the WSJ’s figure for crypto use in financing Hamas was off by over 99%!
My question is…where is your retraction article @WSJ? Where is the article describing why your reporters were blatantly wrong about this?
If you don’t retract it, politicians with an agenda will likely continue to use this fake news as evidence to attack an industry they have a personal vendetta against. Fix this please.
The Bitcoin mining report is live!
It measures on-grid + off-grid bitcoin mining & includes field research (42 mining companies) to give a more complete picture of the emission status of the Bitcoin network
Full report

Highlights
🧵
The #Bitcoin network continues to transition to renewables faster than any industry in the world
Since June, Iris + Aspen Creek did +56MW renewables
+ 130MW more between Marathon+Iris by Dec
+ 48-145MW of not-yet-public mining projects
= 3.1-4.4% more renewable in 6 months
@J_I_Fisher@tomtomatoh@thetrocro A thread, if I may? Since this topic is so near and dear to my heart. US landfills emit over 100m metric tons of CO2e annually according to reported data, but aerial surveys suggest this is underreported by 2-3x.

What technology leads the pack at mitigating our most serious greenhouse gas (methane)?
Incredibly, its #Bitcoin mining
If that seems counterintuitive, it's because of the ESG gaslighting campaign against Bitcoin
Here's the story you won't read in the NY Times
🧵
@DSBatten Great research! I really appreciate your work on green bitcoin mining.
Any thoughts on alternative mobile solutions for capturing and using methane from landfills like e.g. https://t.co/lhneT5xGyk
Are such solutions even superior from an environmental perspective?
This one probably won't get picked up by the NY Times.

My latest analysis shows Bitcoin mining uses 10.9% more renewable energy since the China ban

This is such a fascinating show.
Adam Wright is working on a project to build out mining infrastructure at landfill sites and turn the waste methane into #bitcoin.
