This doesn't have a Nazi Germany vibe to it at all.
Gradually, then suddenly comes in many forms.

REMINDER: THERE IS NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY
A GROUP OF EXTREMISTS HAVE BEEN FEAR MONGERING ABOUT THIS FOR DECADES DESPITE A PRECIPITOUS FALL IN CLIMATE RELATED DEATHS ACROSS THE PLANET.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT OR HUMANS. THEY CARE ABOUT CONTROL OVER THEIR FELLOW HUMANS. THIS MOVEMENT IS NOW CALLED ESG.
IF YOU VIRTUE SIGNAL ABOUT BEING ESG CONSCIOUS/COMPLIANT YOU ARE PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF EXTREMISTS WHO WILL EAT YOU THE SECOND THEY GET THE CHANCE.

Humanity is in the middle of a great battle that will dictate whether or not future generations live in a free world or digital panopticon.
At the moment, Bitcoin is the most potent and widely available tool we have within grasp to ensure future generations live free. The incumbent system is completely lost and needs to be put out of its misery.
There are many men and women who are actively trying to bring grifts that have been very successful in the incumbent system to Bitcoin. Mainly, regulatory capture that grants a few select insiders undue power.

Second order effects of #Bitcoin mining include, but are not limited to:

- Less pipeline construction because it's easier, faster and cheaper to deploy a digital pipeline
- Less methane leak because miners will show up and consume gas that would otherwise be flared (con't)
- More efficient drilling because producers don't have to depend on a singular rev stream
- An incentive to produce more renewable energy sources because there is now a consumer of last resort
- A more distributed society as towns get erected around mining operations (con't)
- The big one no one likes to talk about, a severe reduction in capital misallocation enabled by easy money that has led to severe energy waste

Individuals who clamor on about Bitcoin's dwindling block subsidy and claim that Bitcoin's long-term security is in question lack vision and an understanding of Jevons Paradox.
Yes, Bitcoin's fee market may be paltry at the moment due to better use of the blockchain as individuals and businesses learn how to use block space more efficiently. I will concede this.

However, one needs to look to where the puck is going.
Bitcoin isn't on top of the public's mind like it was in the Fall/Winter of 2017.

If number continues to go up like it has consistently done for the last 11 years, this should stoke activity in the fee market as more people are dragged into Bitcoin's gravitational pull.

Imagine growing up with the Internet, see everything that has been enabled by it over the last 30 years, and dismissing Bitcoin because it’s too ambitious or “the governments won’t let it happen”.
We live in 2019, people. A scarce digital money gaining traction isn’t that far fetched. Welcome to the future we dreamed about growing up.
Still thinking about this. It's crazy that people think a digital money isn't going to happen. We're sending unmanned rockets to space and landing them on little squares in the ocean. lol, Bitcoin is an inevitable progression of technology and our interaction with it.

h/t #FreeAssange
As most of you freaks are probably aware of by now, Julian Assange has been dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London and is en route to the "Land of the Free" to face charges for helping Chelsea Manning break into a classified computer system.
Waking up to this news produced flashbacks to years ago when Wikileaks was a more prominent figure in the news.
