Follow The Money #3 - Dear Elizabeth Warren

- - - - -
With a wave of misconceptions perpetuated by mainstream media outlets and political figures, including Elizabeth Warren, there has been a deluge of negative press regarding Bitcoin's energy consumption and its environmental impact.
These misconceptions hinder the growth and widespread adoption of one of the most revolutionary technologies in recent history. By spreading false information regarding Bitcoin's energy consumption and environmental credentials, these influential sources create a negative perception of Bitcoin, undermining its potential to transform the global financial landscape.
In Part 3 of Follow the Money I travel to Texas and Oklahoma to discover the truth about the Bitcoin mining industry and how this industry embodies core American values - the ideals of freedom, hard work, and innovation.
I also investigate the relationship between Bitcoin mining and the transition to a low-carbon grid, debunking claims that it is detrimental to the environment. Additionally, I uncover how Bitcoin miners utilise otherwise wasted energy and collaborate with grid operators to stabilise energy supplies and reduce consumer prices.
As I travelled across these two states, I witnessed firsthand the revitalisation of towns due to the influx of Bitcoin mining companies and saw how working with, rather than against Bitcoin can benefit American communities and contribute to the nation's prosperity.

    After my second watch, I believe this is one of the best bitcoin videos that has been produced in a while. It shows the side that most do not even know exists. It should give the average person insight into how this new technology is going to change our world for the better. Not only do we get sound money but we also get cheaper, more stable power, and more jobs - especially in rural / remote areas. The more one learns about bitcoin the more one realizes it is a win, win, win, win, win technology.

    I've just done a binge on all three episodes having watched this as a new notification. Got to say, the episodes on El Salvador and on Inflation were excellent: real honest reporting, and I like the fact you adopt an aproach that is intrinsically questioning rather than the traditional authoritive approach we've come to expect in documentaries.

    I've only seen one other of your documentaries, but I really liked your first one. This one is good too. Now I'll have to go search for the other. You need to keep putting these out. I think they're much more valuable in presenting a rounded, easily digestible consideration of a subject than most videos, which are often silly or at best disposable on the one hand, or overly technical or niche on the other. Docs like these are better at convincing the unconvinced, introducing new ideas.

    The best thing we can do is to refer to bitcoin mining as accounting, the miners are accountants and they are incentivised to participate by getting transaction fees and a block reward. Calling it mining just confused people and makes them suspicious.
