Carl Jung once said “Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you" That's something I've been working to resolve for a while now *Link in comments, if you're keen to know more

Proof Of Lager

Last week I said 4 Brazilian energy co's were implementing Bitcoin mining to monetize stranded energy = Bitcoin on balance sheet That's already out of date If this were 6 Nasdaq co's evaluating a DAT, this'd be a headline Energy is the adoption story you didn't see coming

This is the analysis I did after running 2 climatetech funds and asking: "what type of technology can we invest in that will maximize emissions reduced per dollar" The answer: Bitcoin mining projects using the stranded vented methane coming out of half the world's landfills

Choosing Visa/Mastercard over Bitcoin/lightning = choosing a network that is slow, extractive and dirty over one that is instant, fair and clean

Tell me again why Bitcoin mining on landfills is not an amazing way to reduce emissions and pollution, decentralize the network further, all while monetizing wasted energy profitably without need for a subsidy?

Who honestly (male and female) has struggled to orangepill a woman in your life - friend, wife, (grand)mother, or colleague? A client of mine is trialling some promising ways to resolve this. If this is you, and you'd like to be part of the test group - comment below (or msg me) You'll be not only solving a problem in your life, you'll be helping speed up Bitcoin adoption.

JUST IN: in case you haven't been scanning Bitcoin mining stories writtedn in Portugese recently, July was the month Brazil stopped evaluating Bitcoin mining and started switching it on. This is significant for the whole Bitcoin mining narrative, because its arguably the biggest evidence we've had of the energy and Bitcoin mining sector convergence 1. On July 1, Adecoagro (the Tether-backed agribusiness) began commercial mining in Mato Grosso do Sul: 10 MW, 1,280 machines, powered by surplus energy from its own sugarcane mill (source: iviagora.com.br/noticia/35957/…)) 2. At Renova's Alto Sertao III wind complex in Bahia, 42 MW of mining is already running: the share of their wind power the grid cut fell from 65% in January to 17% in March (source: neofeed.com.br/economia/renov…) 3. Casa dos Ventos, one of Brazil's biggest wind producers, is commissioning a mine at a wind plant right now, expected to cut its curtailment losses by up to 50%. (source: diariodonordeste.verdesmares.com.br/opiniao/coluni…) 3 companies, 2 different fuels, and the same underlying principle: Bitcoin mining is the buyer of stranded energy nobody else can take. "Bitcoin solves an energy problem" is the new Bitcoin adoption story.

Bitcoin is powered by falling water! In 2023, hydro became the major energy source for Bitcoin mining *Cambridge says it's a close 2nd to gas, but that's likely because US-miners are overrepresented in their latest survey Coal has since dropped to <7%, less than any industry

Arguably the biggest problem in Bitcoin adoption as that those who have adopted Bitcoin don't know how to talk about Bitcoin Which is why things like this are great! beyourownceo.ai/orangepilling/

Bitcoin mining solves some of the biggest problems the energy sector has ever had, such as "what do you do if you've replaced baseload nuclear with renewables and now have major wasted energy and intermittency issues?" Not theory: history! Here's the little known story

AI just made Bitcoin mining investible again Our firm which invests in LFG-powered BTC mining has done analysis concluding Bitcoin mining companies (finally) have good exit liquidity options Based on this, we're re-evaluating our 2022 decision not to consider equity stakes

One hemisphere is switching flexible load on. The other is leasing it away Brazil, July 1: Sugarcane mill starts mining Bitcoin on bagasse power (the 5th Brazilian energyco to do so) Georgia: CleanSpark signs 20-year, $6.6B AI lease AI is inflexible demand. Mining is flexible

4 of Brazil's biggest power generators are now evaluating or piloting Bitcoin mining to monetize their wasted energy. They are Brazil's largest: * electricity generator, operating (Axia) * private generator, evaluating (Engie) * wind developer, building (Casa dos Ventos) * centralised solar generator, evaluating (Atlas) Meanwhile, UK wastes £1,467,027,915 in stranded wind energy per year.

Here's my under 3mins suggestion if someone says to you "Bitcoin is bad for the environment"

In case you hadn't noticed, LLMs have now displaced wikipedia, and the world is better for it. Run an AI query on "Bitcoin renewable" now and you will get - an objective appraisal based on the latest 2025 data from the in Bitcoin and ESG (Cambridge University) that is the gold standard for policymakers and regulators - fact and data - a summary of over 30 peer reviewed articles on Bitcoin mining and energy - case studies - input from specialists in the fields of grid stabilization and methane mitigation Run a wikipedia on Bitcoin mining and you will get - citations of historic papers from the 2018-2022 period that were debunked in 2023 by Sai and Vranken - Editorial opinions and narrative - the results of a page curated predominantly by retired sociology professors with an anti-Bitcoin bias No one who understand Bitcoin mining bothers to update it and correct it any more because, in the words of one former editor of that page "I kind of gave up on Wikipedia btw (in general not only for btc). Fewer people using it. The source of truth is now LLMs and not wiki." Wikipedia, once a reliable and independent information source, is now a historical footnote alongside Alta Vista, Encyclopedia Britanica and Kodak. Not only has AI usurped Wikipedia, but it no longer puts much weight on wikipedia when developing its own information synthesis. It's not perfect, but it is a meaningful step up from what we had before.

"The headwinds Bitcoin faces, the more hills we have to climb, the more rarefied air starved of the oxygen of positive media appraisal  - the stronger we become"

Just put together my new website The (6yrs) old one didn't reflect my Bitcoin work It does now! As I put it together I became extra-grateful for how Bitcoin has grown me as a person Links to all my Bitcoin&Energy research are there too If you're curious: danielbatten.co
