What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the world's best technology at solving the monetary problems that people of influence pretend we don't have

What is Bitcoin mining?
Bitcoin mining is the world's best technology at solving the energy proglems that people of influence pretend we don't have.

Carl Jung once said

“Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you"

That's something I've been working to resolve for a while now

What if Bitcoin's adoption path looked more like this?

West: Energy revolution -> Money revolution
South: Money revolution -> Energy revolution

I encourage those I coach to know your not only their values but to distinguish where those values find expression ... and where they don't.

Here's mine.

Clarity saves everyone a lot of time ... and energy

Environmentally, Bitcoin has a positive:negative ratio of 31:1

This makes Bitcoin arguably one of the most important environmental-impact technology of our time

As a fund manager of 2 impact-funds, I said 4 years ago I consider it gross negligence for an ESG investor not to consider Bitcoin in their mix. Many called me crazy at the time. They are no longer saying that today (at least not for that reason!)

Here's a data summary from our due diligence four years ago (which has since been vindicated with 24 peer reviewed papers coming out in support of exactly the same findings we arrived at)

How did we reach this view?

Simple: we did our job as investors. ie: we did due diligence on Bitcoin and energy (something very few people were doing at the time before recycling what has since proven to be factually inaccorate claims)

Simple rue:
- relevant domain knowledge + data => we listen
- vested interest + narrative => ignore

We listened to grid operators, climate scientists, bitcoin mining engineers, methane abatement experts, solar&wind installers, academics with multi-disciplinary expertise across energy systems/ sustainability / bitcion mining/ economics/ policy

We found
- 21 ways Bitcoin could be an environmental positive
- 5 ways bitcoin could be an environmental negative

(Uncannily similar to the solar industry)

We then applied an impact weighting to each factor and remeasured The result was conclusive: Bitcoin mining is 31:1 net positive to the environment

Bitcoin mining’s rapid renewable adoption can inspire other industry sectors to follow

We found that in the next 5 years, Bitcoin mining would play a real part in global methane mitigation (it is), grid stabilization (it is), and monetizing wasted renewable energy (it is)

The rule is simple: do your own due diligence rather than listen to the opinions of anyone: be they media, politicians, environmental organisations, general energy experts or bitcoiners themselves

That's the path to truth

Coaching Bitcoiners is extremely fulfilling for 2 reasons.
1. I've found Bitcoiners to have a real growth mindset, and very little ego, which means they are able to take bold moves without worrying about "how they look" -a recipe for success
2. The projects they build end up going faster and benefitting Bitcoin more with just a few blindspots attended to.

Kyle is one of many such examples of why the Bitcoin ecosystem is in great shape.

I do a lot of longform rebuttal, but ... I also remind myself that sometimes the most succinct rebuttal is the better option

The near death of enrivonmental and energy FUD in the media about Bitcoin has created a vacuum.

What fills that vacuum is largely up to us.

Yep
