WBD558 - Can #Bitcoin Fix the Political System? With Logan Bolinger (@TheWhyOfFI). We discuss:
- Political incentives, polarisation & media bias
- Failure of trust in politics
- Monetary education: political elite
- Bitcoin’s promise of definancialisation

“Is the world that we want to live in, one where we need to hyperfinancialize every aspect of an individual’s life because financial conditions on a macro level are such that you have to finacialize your whole being in order to keep up or get ahead?”

Why you're probably wrong about #bitcoin, energy, & climate change...

If #Bitcoin fails it would negatively impact:
• Grid stability
• Most effective methane abatement
• Rapid scaling of renewables
• Utilisation of stranded renewable energy

The world needs #Bitcoin.
1/6
Combining work by @DSBatten & @ArcaneResearch:
• #Bitcoin mining would eliminate .15°C warming using waste methane w/ 416 TWh
• Bitcoin energy consumption needs to grow at a 40% higher rate
• Assuming .4 BTC fees per block, #Bitcoin price would need to be > $1 Million

2/6
“Methane…can simply be burned off to create CO2. While this sounds counterproductive...methane is over 20x more harmful...converting one molecule of methane to one molecule of CO2 through combustion still reduces net emissions by more than 95%.”

- Russia’s imperialistic invasion
- Baseless justifications for the war
- Ukrainian’s clear sovereign rights
- Update on the war & how people can help
whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/whats-…
“We’ve lived with this, we’re done with this. Look, you are now invading Ukraine, we’re not going to stand for it, and we’re certainly not going to side with people who say that Russia’s security interests are the problem here.”

WBD483 - Innovating on Bitcoin with Steve Lee (@moneyball). We discuss:
- Spiral enabling lightning integration
- Creating a decentralized and secure Bitcoin wallet
- Block’s aim for an open Bitcoin mining ecosystem
- Zero-cost decentralised Bitcoin mining
whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/innova…
“If it’s too hard to manage your own keys... a few global custodians hold all the keys and that’s unlikely to result in the Bitcoin that we know and love... so it’s very important that a sizable percentage of Bitcoin users are controlling their own keys.”
