At this point if you lump bitcoin together with crypto you are willfully ignorant.
It's not terminal. Educate yourself. Read anything written by @gladstein
Bitcoin mining can save your company money on environmental penalties and reduce greenhouse gas emissions when you cap an oil well flare gas vent using an on-site modular gas powered data center. Ask a roughneck.
Bitcoin mining can save your park when you don't earn enough from tourist dollars but you have a stranded energy hydroelectric dam. Ask Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Bitcoin works when your national currency inflates to the moon and you have no other vehicle to store wealth. Ask Venezuela.
Bitcoin works when your totally legitimate protest movement gets deplatformed by the state. Ask the truckers in Canada.
Bitcoin works when you're whistleblower organization exposes the corruption of the most wealthy and powerful states and corps in the world. Ask Wikileaks.
Agreed. Crypto is a wealth extraction instrument. Every cryptocurrency, with very few exceptions, is a scam.
Bitcoin is different. It is digital native hard money. Permissionless digital gold.
Bitcoin works when war breaks out in your country and fiat money fails. Ask Ukraine.
it doesn't include the secp256k curve which has known constants. but it does give confidence that these particular curves were not engineered with backdoors in place. we'll talk about it at the next bitdevs!
I spruced up the agenda site with summaries. Here's what we talked about at today's meeting: trianglebitdevs.org/socratic…
i am open to different schedules and locations, i just need data on what works for people who actually show up
no pics or videos, sorry
where are you located? is there a bitdevs nearby?
if you can't make it at our normally scheduled time, is there a better time? i ask for feedback about this all the time and just get crickets
