TD₿: Should We Reject the ESG Framing Around Bitcoin? - (a Swan Signal video) with Alex Epstein
TL;DR: Most people think Bitcoin’s PoW is “wasteful.” Don't listen to the haters; they are wrong. PoW is Efficient!
Hey Bitcoiners,
On a recent episode of Swan Signal Live, Alex Epstein gives his take on the recent pro-ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) narratives, the potential impact of Bitcoin mining on the energy industry more broadly and break down the common argument that "Bitcoin is bad for the environment."
Contrary to popular belief, the Bitcoin network acts as an environmental subsidy to alternative energy innovation worldwide. It allows the amortization of these infrastructure projects in significantly less time and incentivizes the construction and innovation of green energy markets globally.

Job of the Day
The Company and Role
My name is Ben, I run the YouTube channel BTC Sessions. I've basically been doing all this by myself since inception - back in 2016. I've now gotten to the point where I'm hitting a wall in terms of what I can handle by myself. I basically need:
Someone who can help strategize channel growth
Someone who can effectively negotiate contracts with sponsors
Someone who can help me figure out what to delegate and make effective use of my time
Having someone come into the fold would be very new to me and I don't know what to expect, nor how to price these things. If you think you can help, please reach out. Let me know your prior experience (and results you've managed to get) as well as what kind of compensation you'd expect. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
