For years, Bitcoin's energy was much maligned. This was based on deeply flawed and now debunked research. Now, the tide has turned in the scientific consensus and the media and I've summarized why both now say Bitcoin has environmental benefits in a plain English talk.

Just in case you thought ECB's opposition to stablecoins was about anything other than self-interest. "The rise of stablecoins risks eroding the role of central banks in governing their nation’s monetary policy". ~ ECB president Christine Lagarde, July 5 2025.

So far Pakistan's bitcoin adoption plans have played out as expected: IMF stonewalled them. But all is not lost. IMF wasa forced to show its anti-Bitcoin hand v.openly. AND, Pakistan have another option (China) if IMF push too hard. We're watching geopolitical theatre at its best.

"It's a great business to be in central banking. You print money and people believe it.". ~ Adrian Orr, Head of Central Bank of New Zealand, 2024.

"Banks & governments shouldn't be allowed to check up on every day civilians. Civilians should be able to check out the movements and intentions of banks & governments". If you agree with this, you vibe with Bitcoin.If you believe the opposite is true, you vibe with CBDCs.

Ever wonder what happened to @Britannica? . They're spending their final days spreading misinformation about bitcoin, shilling Proof of Stake as "more environmentally friendly", while quoting the debunked work of de Vries/Digiconomist. Sad end to a once great information source

There you have it, from the mouth of the president of the European Central Bank. To reassure people about the digital euro, she cites China as a "success story" and says explicitly that EU is following China's lead on Centralized Digital Currency. Here's why this matters that.

Even prouder of my mom after seeing this chart from @thetrocro. She's 82. Today, she just decided to triple her bitcoin holdings. We talked a lot about it. She's in great health and also wants to know that in 10 years if she wants to have enough money for a helper she can,

"In the past 50 years, countries like India, the Philippines, the Congo now owe their former colonial masters 189x what they owed in 1970" .~ @gladstein . (Thanks IMF, World Bank). By providing countries like Bhutan a debt-free path to financial sovereignty, Bitcoin fixes this.

Some things have not yet changed since the last cycle!.

Media in 2021: "Bitcoin is useless". Media in 2025: "OK, it's useful (prevents wealth erosion through hyperinflation) but it doesn't solve bigger economic problems" 🤣. From @cculbertosborn in @ForeignPolicy today.

Not mining bitcoin is wasteful. This chart says, a single French energy company missed over $1/4 Billion in gross margin in 6 months by not mining Bitcoin. @BitcoinPolicyFr

Rare photos of Bitcoin mining in Bhutan. Amazing how a tiny land footprint, no eWaste (all rigs are recycled), no water footprint + 100% renewable energy just contributed 40% of Bhutan's GDP, funds environmental initiatives, and allowed salaries of govt workers to be raised 65%

One of the biggest barriers to Bitcoin adoption is IMF. Today, they just rejected Pakistan's bitcoin adoption plans after similar moves in Argentina, CAR, El Salvador. Join us today as I exposing how the IMF operate, and what we can do about it.

JUST IN: IMF reject Pakistan's plan for 2000MW bitcoin mining. Yes, IMF can and does dictate terms to sovereign nations that owe them $.Yes, this was anticipated. Bitcoin is the disruptor. IMF is the disrupted.Nation states must anticipate what this means.

Bitcoin's monetary revolution happens where the need is greatest

It seems incredible that sentiment would dip after a year of so many wins. And yet . perhaps unsurprising. People are inspired by stories about people. Retail is disengaged. The stories of the incredible ways people use bitcoin have not been heard outside Bitcoin conferences.
