"As trust in institutions declines over the next decade ... by 2033, I think there's going to be a lot of transaction volumes going through both bitcoin and stablecoins globally," says @hirosystems CEO @alexlmiller.

The debate around @Greenidge_GREE "didn’t become an issue until they started doing bitcoin mining," Finger Lakes Economic Development Center CEO Steve Griffin says.
"That was the trigger for when all of a sudden, all of the alarm came.”

Happy 10th birthday, @coindesk! 🎂🎉
Kudos for recognizing true OG builders like our very own @OnChainMonkey founder @huuep.
From founding @MAX_exch, the largest cryptocurrency in Taiwan, to starting the @Stanford Bitcoin Meetup in 2013, Danny's contributions to the crypto world have been remarkable!
What will he build over the next 10 years? 🟧🛠️

Such a well-balanced yet eminently readable article. There's precious little nuance on either side of the bitcoin mining debate. It takes serious journalism to get it. @nikhileshde@doreenjwang & @cheyenneligon delivered. Must read.

Finally, a decent piece of journalism on the Greenidge mining operation in upstate NY. All activist complaints were false:
- the water discharge hasn't change lake temps
- it doesn't harm local fish
- the locals aren't concerned about it (all of the activists are out of towners)
- it doesn't cause any noise pollution
- it didn't cause any algae blooms
- Greenidge didn't restart a coal plant to mine bitcoin – they converted it to cleaner gas, and provide power back to the NY grid (which desperately needs the assistance, given the shuttered nuclear plants)
these zero-sum, anti-growth, anti-human, neo-malthusian activists lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, and lie

THREAD: Last year, @cheyenneligon, @doreenjwang, Nolen Hayes and I went up to Dresden and Penn Yan, New York, to see what people thought of the Greenidge Generation mining facility on the shores of Seneca Lake.

IN DEPTH: The environmental debate around Greenidge Generation – a bitcoin mining powerplant on the shores of Seneca Lake – has become part of a snowballing set of misinformation divorced from reality.

"Crypto bros ... made over a trillion dollars out of thin air," @BradSherman says at a U.S. House hearing today.
"They'll accuse the U.S. government of making money out of thin air. Maybe we do, but we're the U.S. government."
