#Bitcoin IS #ESG.
But for the record, most of us in bitcoin who would call ourselves bitcoiners could GAF about Wall Street and what Larry Fink or any other banker thinks.
#Bitcoin was born in the aftermath of the financial crisis & Occupy Wall Street. You connect the dots 😤
@CrunchyOSS@KeithMukai@Ledger Soldering is a great skill. I've seen some pretty bad factory soldered kit - flux left everywhere, cold solder joints, I've even seen a BGA chip that completely failed to reflow and fell off the board.
With DIY, even if you mess it up, you can at least fix it.
Of course if the US used Ranked Choice Voting we could all relax and vote how we pleased with full confidence that democracy would endure and our point-of-view would actually matter.
I'm trying to imagine a worse way for this state to make the news, but coming up short.
Anyhow, it's been 0 days since since #Oklahoma made the national headlines.
🧵 Meanwhile, in Oklahoma…
Gazette publisher Bruce Willingham left a voice activated recorder in the McCurtain County official’s (including the Sheriff) meeting because he suspected they were illegally doing county business after the public meeting ended. What he uncovered was a murder plot & a racist discussion of hanging Black people.
Gov Stitt may have called on county officials to resign but instead, the Sheriff is calling for an investigation into the authenticity of the tape.
You can’t make this shit up.

Time to revisit this fantastic speech by @aantonop. I had goose bumps in 2017, I had goose bumps right now.
Andreas' work made me understand Bitcoin and find the courage to do the work I do.
After 6 months in #Zimbabwe I can only say: watch this!

Ranked choice voting simply means the most appealing candidate wins the election (rather than the loudest from either side of a duopoly.) That's the whole point of democracy.
Imagine being this giddy about undermining the democratic process.
Ranked-Choice Voting will never be part of South Dakota elections.
I signed a bill to ban this process, and I signed 11 other bills to make our election laws the strongest in the nation.
Our friends @GridlessCompute doing some incredibly cool work monetizing micro-hydro plants in Kenya.
They build these small hydro plants @ ~100KW which is much much more than the village needs.

When you don’t want to realize that the real danger for the climate is the endless growth which economies based on credit money need to survive. Fiat money is the problem.
Btw this smear campaign based on false facts by @greenpeaceusa is funded 5 mio USD from Ripple’s cofounder.
@Mario_Gibney @RipAwakes Turns out the answer is yes. Steady state is ultimately reached with a fixed tail emission. Thanks @peterktodd for doing the math. https://t.co/cvQeaNAcSd
"Surprisingly, Tail Emission Is Not Inflationary"
https://t.co/ChNUpifr4Q
tl;dr: Due to lost coins, a tail emission/fixed reward actually results in a stable money supply. Not an inflationary supply.
@Mario_Gibney @RipAwakes How do you know fixed # of BTC would trend to 0%? Could it not reach steady-state? To trend to 0% might not we have to get perpetually better at avoiding: private key loss, leaving UTXOs below the dust limit, burning?

At our #ESG ClimateTech fund, as part of our due diligence on #bitcoinmining, we examined the 7 Most #ESG arguments against #Bitcoin.
We expected to find a mixture of some true, some false, some grey
We were surprised to find all 7 were false. No grey areas
Here's the list
