a) $x in gas
b) * 2/3 --> in mining cost
c) * 3/4 --> electricity
d) * 2/3--> dirty electricity
e) / $0.05 --> kWh
f) * 0.0004 --> tons of CO2
g) * $1 --> cost to offset
2/3 * 3/4 * 2/3 / 0.05 * 0.0004 * 1 = 0.0026
8) So this implies, with large error bars:
If, for every $1 you spend on gas/blockchain fees, you donate $0.0026 to Cool Earth, you'll be roughly carbon neutral.
@elonmusk -- does this seem right? If so, I think the environmental worries about BTC are pretty easily offset!

2) One really refreshing change over the last decade has been the transition to "founder-friendly" VCs.
What does this mean, and why did it happen?
3) What it means, roughly, is VCs seeing themselves as helping and supporting the companies, not running them; and terms/etc. starting to reflect that.
