The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.
Enjoy the podcast
We are all collectively exhausted from this entire election cycle but Biden calling half the country garbage just really honestly breaks my heart this is where we’re at.
Enough. This god damn country will never heal with these octogenarians dragging us to absolute hell.
this is hilarious. Harris admin flunkies try and pretend there's no systematic unbanking. meanwhile every crypto representative on the call says they've been unbanked. reset going great!
A 30% tax on #Bitcoin mining is a back door ban on #Bitcoin mining.
We will aggressively oppose this attempt at targeted discrimination without hesitation!
I am proud that Satoshi Action legislation has received bi-partisan support.
Republicans and Democrats have voted favorably for our legislation, and we have found bill sponsors on both sides of the aisle.
I am dedicated to keeping #Bitcoin non-partisan. 🇺🇸
.@SenWarren’s SILENCE on the gov not pursuing a second trial against the biggest #crypto fraud in history is all you need to know about Warren and her corrupt crusade against the industry.
Plebs, Bitcoin miners, human rights defenders unite!
The European Commission (EC) is about to take a draconian and unscientific stance towards Bitcoin that can not only pave the way for an EU mining ban, but could have far-reaching consequences for the entire global Bitcoin community.
Context:
The EC is developing a methodology to calculate and mitigate the environmental impact of Bitcoin.
It includes a proposal to measure all crypto-assets resource consumption "per transaction", and only evaluates the negative impact of Bitcoin using a suite of suite of reports that have ben financially backed by Central Banks and Ripple Corporation
This is a nonsense metric that was been previously debunked by Cambridge University in 2018.
The fact that the EC have ignored both the science, and the sea-change in the Bitcoin ESG narrative this year shows that their intentions have nothing to do with sustainability, and everything to do with protecting intrenched interests who could be disrupted by Bitcoin.
If the EC wins, BTC will be officially labelled "an environmentally harmful asset that undermines sustainability goals for the EU"
It will also enshrine the ECs right to use bogus-metrics to evaluate environmental impact, while ignoring quality peer-reviewed research showing the positive environmental externalities of Bitcoin.
They will then promote this standards/labelling globally.
What can you do?
* Send a draft of 1-5 pages to @jardemalie or @lyudakozlovska using succinct objective language and evidence, by THIS FRIDAY 7 DEC or email [email protected]
In your submission, highlight:
✅why and how Bitcoin can be a net-benefit to the environment
✅point out that a framework which only evaluate only negative externalities of a technology is incomplete, unobjective/ unscientific
✅cite high quality references
Show examples of how Bitcoin mining can help meet the EUs sustainability goals (for example: WOSTP has already written that "vented methane based crypto-asset mining is more likely to help than hinder the US Govts climate objectives")
❌DO NOT "it's energy use is justified because", "Other assets use more energy", or debating whether climate change is occurring or use language that personally attacks any one
✅DO highlight that every technology initially has a carbon footprint, use evidence to show that emissions are not increasing and that there is a realistic chance Bitcoin can become the first industry to fully mitigate emissions without offsets, point out known limitations in current models, use your own examples of Bitcoin's positive environmental impact that are less known
✅Retweet this message, and mobilize other honeybadgers
Currently, the EU relies on reports like this:

Counter these claims, showing evidence of where they are provably false, misleading due to missing context, inaccurate, or no-longer-true
Now is the time to channel your time, passion, and brain into defending freedom. We do not have the resources, the entrenched powers, the ability to spread FUD widely through mainstream news channels that the opponents of Bitcoin do. We don't agree on everything as Bitcoiners.
But we all agree on one thing: that is the need for a global currency together with global mining that cannot be centrally controlled, attacked, manipulated and suppressed.
Today's the day to fight for the continuation of that freedom

Make no mistake. Journalists and senators lying about crypto financing terrorism and pinning the blame on us is an existential threat. If they win that information war there is no limit to government aggression. This is a battle we need to win. And the truth is on OUR side.
In the next 3-12 months, when the Bitcoin ETF is approved, all institutional barriers are removed immediately. It’s not a matter of if but rather when.
If you believe this there have never been a time with netter risk:return trade off!
