Motion to formally replace ‘mining’ with ‘hashing’ in the
#bitcoin
lexicon.
Hashing secures the network; mining sounds destructive and makes people think of coal.
The
#Taproot
upgrade to
#Bitcoin
locks in by morning.
Is this boring technical news that won’t effect the
#Bitcoin
price? Yes.
Is a non-contentious soft fork of
#Bitcoin
that enables further efficiency and added privacy exciting nonetheless? Also yes.

Not only has he missed out, but he’s been actively attacking it for so long that he’d be retired now and his son would never have to work if he’d put 1% of his net worth in
#bitcoin
when he first started attacking it.
You know which crypto companies don’t seem to be bleeding staff, going bankrupt, or rescinding job offers right now?
The ones that focus on
#bitcoin
only.
Would you attend or volunteer at a
#bitcoin
conference focused on progressive issues like green mining, banking the unbanked, global remittances, etc?
Like if you wouldn’t miss it, retweet if you’d volunteer, comment with ideas.

If the only things you see on
#Bitcoin
twitter are infighting and toxicity, you aren’t following enough progressive bitcoiners.
We aren’t as hard to find as we used to be, and there are no shortage of technical, philosophical, and environmental conversations happening daily.
If anyone’s curious what the impact of the growing wave of
#progressive
voices will have on
#Bitcoin
twitter and broader adoption, here’s a flow chart to help explain.
@BitcoinSampo
You’re getting a lot of joke answers, so here’s a real one:
Your bitcoin will not be halved. Every ten minutes, a new block is mined an the miner is rewarded 6.25
#bitcoin
(plus fees). Each halving, that reward is cut in half, but the total supply will never change.

@ewarren
is drafting a bill that will make it illegal for me to run non-malicious open source software on a raspberry pi in my office without reporting it to the government.
Not cool.
I'm listening to
@ewarren
talk about "
#crypto
" and
#Bitcoin
on
@PodSaveAmerica
and it's painfully clear that she doesn't even understand the basics of how it works. 'Series of tubes' levels of ignorance.
I wish she'd have this conversation with an expert who can push back.
This drone footage captures NYC workers burying bodies in a mass grave on Hart Island, just off the coast of the Bronx. For over a century, the island has served as a potter’s field for deceased with no known next of kin or families unable to pay for funerals.
@PeterSchiff
The same states passing laws to require ID to vote are also passing laws to make IDs harder to get, either with financial walls, travel requirements, or other reasons. I’m all for required voter ID for voting, as long as it’s also coupled with laws to make that ID simple to get.
@bbcdoctorwho
Douglas Adams worked as a writer for Doctor Who for a while and, If memory serves, 'Life, The Universe, and Everything' was a rejected Doctor Who script, so the similarities are more than just superficial.
I just listened to
@TedCruz
, who I otherwise find repulsive, explain to
@PeterMcCormack
in front of a live audience exactly how
#Bitcoin
is good for the environment, citing actual applications. Why can't
@TheDemocrats
see just how 'green' bitcoin is? It's getting embarrassing.
For the second week in a row now,
@PeterMcCormack
has put out the most important
#podcast
of the week, interviewing
@thetrocro
. This feels like a turning point in the mainstream media discussion about just how green
#bitcoin
mining can be.
@PeterMcCormack
@PeterSchiff
Isn’t the whole of the country being set up to use custodial lightning via strike? Fees are going to be almost nonexistent.
Wow. This was hard to listen to, but
@ewarren
was interviewed by
@TVietor08
on today’s
@PodSaveAmerica
and they had a brief chat about crypto. Her lack of knowledge about it, especially
#Bitcoin
, is so stunning and backwards she should be embarrassed.

It’s surreal to see global finance companies starting to see what’s coming when there was nothing but dismissal or agression towards ideas like this only a few (admittedly long) years ago.
Simultaneously exciting and terrifying.
It was only a matter of time before the attacks on
@SBF_FTX
took an antisemitic turn, I just didn’t expect it from such a prominent account. Such a disgusting display of ignorance and hate.
Running

Not my first node, probably not my last, but definitely my favorite.
It’s powered by

and was amazingly simple to set up. UX is great. UI is polished. The app store is small, but useful and growing. So much potential.
