Bitcoin mining is the gateway, and model, for green computing. Especially for small scale utilization of spare free electricity.

Was there a single piece of information in NYTimes' #BTC article that was not cherry-picked out of context to create a story where there was no story to tell? If there was, I can't see it Even the "prices have gone up in Texas" angle is no more than average US price increase

“They” is NYT. The cheapest energy is free - like spare #GreenEnergy at occasional use properties (eg 2nd homes) that has no value in a state with regulations like #NC

They also avoid comparing bitcoin mining energy usage to industries and bitcoin-related emissions to industries. That’s because both are relatively minor in those comparisons. So @nytimes will avoid. Look at tobacco… where’s the outrage?

@tante If there is a crime against the climate it's writing misinformation-rich hit-pieces on Bitcoin which even WOTSP acknowledges Bitcoin can "help meet our climate targets" when mined using vented methane. NY Times have tied themselves in knots using marginal accounting to create…

Relive your memories in XR... I was lucky enough to provide feedback for this app in its early stages, and so delighted to see how far it's come! What do you think? Exciting innovation, or creepy? (And yes, I know about that Black Mirror episode...)

A lot of people are wondering why @BigscreenVR is making their own headset - the short answer is @Apple. Apple's XR device has TV watching & monitors as their #1 use case & Meta will have their own solution too. The only way for them to survive is custom hardware they control.
