@mempool @KanutoTakumi Beautiful artwork! 👏

We commissioned the very talented @KanutoTakumi to bring our software visualizations into the physical world and they came out amazing! Thank you 🤙

The last game of the @BTCPrague conference ⚡️♟️

@pete_rizzo_ A financial revolution, one slice at a time 🍕🫡

In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto started a monetary revolution with #Bitcoin. But by May 22, 2010, hardly anyone was using it. The Amazing Story of the pizza purchase that changed history, and the man who spent $2.8 billion to transform money forever 🔥

Now is the right time for investing in #Bitcoin companies. These will reach different layers of society: politics, economics & finance, energy, technology and more. Politicians can't ignore their impact ⚡️

@IBEXpay Sad to hear. Better opportunities will come ahead.

After careful consideration it has been decided that effective 31st of May 2024, all IBEX Pay services in the USA will be suspended. Thank you for the support you have given us and we hope to serve you in the future.

@ian__major When duty calls there's no backing up! This is a great story to tell to future generations. 🫡

My mom watched me give up a high-paying corporate job to go all-in on Bitcoin. I made no income for a full 2 years. I could sense her motherly instincts screaming to tell me to quit, but she never said a word. Only encouragement. She believed. Love you mom ❤️

@MyfirstBitcoin_ @Luis51contreras Future developers, entrepeneurs, hard workers, builders using the #Bitcoin standard.

Today marks the beginning of the second #Bitcoin Diploma classes at the National Institute of Usulután (INU) in El Salvador. 🎓 80 new students are attending the classes, led by @Luis51contreras! We're educating an entire nation!

@bitcoinofficesv @mempool Huge milestone! Thanks for setting the example for full #Bitcoin & government transparency. ✌️

El Salvador now has its own @mempool space where anyone can check out our #bitcoin treasury holdings. See details in the next post.

@mempool @bitcoinofficesv This is huge! Great example for future nation-state #Bitcoin adoption. Congrats.

We’re honored to support El Salvador in its adoption of Bitcoin by providing a custom instance of The Mempool Open Source Project for @bitcoinofficesv 🇸🇻

@Dante_Cook1 Certainly, #Bitcoin is the monetary layer of the Internet. Great way to make them relate with it! 👏

I've given dozens of presentations to CEOs & Business Leaders and this is the number one slide that clicks with them to describe #Bitcoin as a protocol. Relating Bitcoin to other technologies they use everyday is what triggers the 💡 moment.

@LynAldenContact Thank you for your contributions, Lyn! Do you think #Bitcoin is the logical end of monetary history? 🤔

I produced a half-hour animated overview of the Broken Money subject matter. It covers the history of money, the development of banking, and how new technology changes the way we interact with money over time. Enjoy: youtu.be/jk_HWmmwiAs?si…

@CleanSpark_Inc What a beautiful landscape. Congratulations! 👏🚀

Giddy up! $CLSK has entered into definitive agreements to acquire 75 MW of #bitcoin mining sites in Wyoming for $18.75 million, expecting to add over 4 EH/s in #hashrate once fully operational.🤠🐎 This is now the third state in our portfolio of owned-and-operated bitcoin mining facilities. The agreement is anticipated to close in 45 days and we plan to break ground shortly after closing. This includes the potential to expand by an additional 55 MW for a total of over 7 EH/s. “Just three short months ago, we took a leap and expanded into Mississippi. Today, I’m pleased to share that we are continuing our journey with our westward expansion into Wyoming. Diversifying our portfolio is integral to our strategy and we are well positioned to take advantage of similar acquisitions in the wake of the halving,” said CEO @ZachKBradford.

Amazing research! 👏 At @NewLayerCapital we're definitely committed to help #Bitcoin miners become carbon negative as fast as possible. Vented & landfill methane gas can be used efficiently for this purpose, as @Vespene_Energy & several other companies are showing up.

@willywoo @Dennis_Porter_ @DSBatten Amazing chart. #Bitcoin will definitely become carbon negative sooner than we think.

@Dennis_Porter_ The public can track the progress of the #Bitcoin network's carbon mitigation here. Live charts using @DSBatten's model. Very feasible for Bitcoin to go carbon negative in coming years as the investment into this infrastructure is just warming up. woocharts.com/esg-bitcoin-em…

MASSIVE BRREAKING: New research co-authored by a former Greenpeace activist and an environmental economist (Ph.D.) confirms that #Bitcoin mining is a powerful tool to cleanup the environment and mitigate methane emissions. THIS PAPER SHOWS THAT: 🌎Bitcoin is good for the environment 💰Bitcoin can fund methane cleanup ♻️ Bitcoin converts waste to economic value 🚗 If 1% of the #BTC network converts to vented methane it would eliminate the emissions equivalent of 9 billion miles driven by a gas-powered vehicle. This new research challenges the common perception of #Bitcoin mining. It flips the current narrative that "Bitcoin mining is bad for the environment" on its head and instead highlights how #Bitcoin can serve as a powerful force for good. YOU MUST READ THIS PAPER: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… This groundbreaking paper, led by @SatoshiEducate and @NodalPower, underscores the potential for #Bitcoin mining to serve as a "sustainable economic model for methane mitigation" and shows how #Bitcoin can transform "an environmental challenge into a viable economic asset." The paper further states that just 1.14 MW of mining could mitigate 2,187 metric tons of CH4 annually, which is equivalent to 156,000,000+ miles driven by a gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. To put this into context, the #Bitcoin mining network operates at ~6,000 MW in the USA alone. If just 1% of Bitcoin mining in America switched to vented methane, it would equate to 131,220 metric tons of CH4 reduction. That is the same as 9,000,000,000+ (yes, that's 9 billion!) miles driven by an average gasoline-powered vehicle. To see more papers like this one, please consider donating to Satoshi Action so we can continue producing cutting-edge research to combat anti-Bitcoin FUD: donorbox.org/support-proof-… By capturing methane gas and turning it into electricity for #Bitcoin mining, this paper addresses two critical challenges: reducing methane emissions and finding a profitable use for surplus energy. Bitcoin mining has often been criticized for its high energy consumption, but this model alters that narrative. By utilizing landfill methane, #Bitcoin transforms a notorious environmental offender into a clean, revenue-generating energy source. The study utilized data from Nodal Power, a landfill #Bitcoin miner who takes a cutting-edge approach with their patented technology to mitigate methane right here in the USA. Without their support, this paper would not have been possible. The paper was also co-authored by Daniel Batten (@DSBatten) and Dr. Murray Rudd (@DrMurrayRudd). Daniel, a former Greenpeace activist, is now a leading advocate for the potential of Bitcoin mining to reduce emissions from landfills. Dr. Rudd played a pivotal role in the paper using his extensive academic expertise to model the outcomes. The implications of this paper are vast, ranging from local waste management strategies to global climate goals. The synergy between #Bitcoin mining and landfill gas can accelerate methane emissions capture and landfill gas capture infrastructure. READ AND SHARE THE PAPER HERE: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Given the highly potent nature of methane emissions as a greenhouse gas, the opportunity to utilize mining to mitigate methane in an economically viable way cannot be ignored. While the study provides a compelling blueprint for the future, the researchers caution that success hinges on overcoming regulatory, technological, and financial challenges. To reap the benefits, both #Bitcoin miners and landfill operators need to navigate volatile cryptocurrency markets, fluctuating electricity prices, and varying environmental regulations. Still, this integration of technology and sustainability marks a bold step toward a greener future. If adopted widely, #Bitcoin miners could turn methane into digital gold—literally—and help curb one of the most potent climate-warming gasses on Earth. DONATE NOW and help us fight FUD with good Bitcoin research. donorbox.org/support-proof-…

#Bitcoin miners will capture methane gas & stranded CO2 emissions as part of their operations 🌳 This will become a new and unforeseen revenue stream for miners! 🚀 @saffordnj explains it in this clip from @bitcoinoasis24
