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.

That was capitalism. Central banks and bailouts are Maxism.
We don't need to convince Warren of anything. We just need to get her out of office.

Impossible, the people of Massachusetts (mostly the Boston area) are complete SIMPs for her
So honored to be a part of this beautiful film.
Could watch stuff like this for hours/days/weeks/years... oh wait I already am since 2020. Thank you Peter and the whatbitcoindid- team

Peter, you’ve created something really special. Thank you so much.
Dude…. you’re in danger of turning into a real journalist. Thanks for this. Shared
Loved this. More docu’s like this are needed. Great work, looking forward to another one!
Honestly brought a tear to me eye, Peter. Congratulations to you and the team behind this. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
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.
Awesome job Peter - also love the attitude and appeal to EW at the end. This is an amazing piece of work helping BTC to hopefully convert some of the naysayers 👍😉

Agreed
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.
Dear Peter - I have to tell you that this film stands out as my absolutely favourite piece of the work you've gifted to all of us. It made me 'feel' so much in relation to BTC in ways I never imagined possible. Thank you.
Peter, your three-part series Follow the Money is deserving of a resounding standing ovation! Your masterful storytelling, impeccable research, and insightful analysis have captivated and enlightened your audience, leaving them both intellectually and emotionally moved. Your contribution to the art of journalism is truly commendable.
Great documentary Peter! A failure to understand PoW is a failure to understand money. Making money cant be free! #Bitcoin
Great work, I love that you're going in-depth and involving the public
Really enjoyed this and gained a ton of knowledge. Thanks Peter, Mark
The title is brilliant, the story is wonderfully moving. Great work team
This is not just a wonderful documentary. Its a must watch for those in power. They need to see how things really work, and not just express junks typed to them in the name of press release.
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.
Peter, thanks a lot for what you are doing for bitcoin and the industry. I wish I was in the position to do the same. You are using your personal position meaningfully. We'll done
Fantastic work guys 🧡 just hope she and many more will watch and gain a better understanding of the benefits of Bitcoin can help the world 💥⚡️💯
Excellent work, Pete!
Not finished yet, but this is fun. Great work, Peter and team!
Fantastic documentary Peter. Thank you.
Come to Australia & talk to our politicians please. We need to spread the grid & contribute to innovation & help climate change 🙏 Thank you for your efforts. Love your show
Really respect that the host can admit to his addiction to strangers. And of course Elizabeth Warren didn't respond. We need a world where politicians actually engage with the community. Unscripted engagement. Healthy Debates. Really becoming disappointed with our government. We've been giving them the benefit of the doubt for too long. I'm over it.
Outstanding Peter, we need to share this video with everyone we know. Thank you and your team for all you do 🙏
Fantastic Film! Thank you for your commitment and for this excellent work!
@SenWarren I challenge you to listen for a change and understand that this industry created opportunity when others decided to abandon rural America. Just listen with an open mind- not a political agenda. You just might realize creating jobs comes in all shapes and sizes.
Great job Peter and team. Would love to see that Africa follow-up.
Peter, your documentaries like this are just as great as your interviews. Great work man.
I'm sending a "Share" link to this presentation to every person in my personal & business contact lists. The spread of "factual" information like this is the key to changing opinions regardless of one's stature in life.
I love these documentary style videos. More please!
Great episode Peter. You do such a great job with these. Thank you!
Hoping for a Part 4 in Africa.
TY Peter
Great work Peter👌
Awesome job WBD team 👏🏼 incredible film!
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.
Thank you for producing this content. It's incredibly important
As a proud Texan. 🤘. Yall be safe.
Thank you for bringing financial freedom awareness
Well done! A picture (video) is worth a thousand words.
One of the best videos ever. Your channel has class and will be remembered in decades and centuries to come for genuine and original content.
Amazing work Pete! Keep up the good fight, love your videos!
Nice work Peter and team. It's a great documentary.
What a great production. Looking forward to see more...
Terrific show Peter, this is very thoughtful, high-quality work!
Please do more of this series, more often. The world needs more common sense and honesty. You have a big fight against the media train, but in time, you’ll open people’s eyes.
I love your podcast I listened to every episode please keep it coming. It's unfortunate that politicians have been corralled by the big Banks. This is not a political issue this is innovation to save the nation
Awesome job Peter and the whole team! 👏👍👏👍
Thanks for making this doc. I love it, and I love you man!
This is a really amazing video! I'd love to see a 5 minute version with the most important points to share online
brilliant...Brilliant... BRILLIANT! so easy to understand. Thank you, Peter... a job VERY well done...🙂
I am 15 mins into this. Absolutely AMAZING documentary. I will be sharing this with everyone!! Thank you so much Peter for making this!! 8)
Great job! Thanks for making this documentary. I intend to share this with Buncombe County Commissioners in NC who recently placed a moratorium to ban mining.
Really love the production quality Keep em coming. Thanks
Go, Peter, go!!! Great film!!!
ABSOLUTELY KRUSHING IT GUYS!!! I am Sharing this with Everyone...
Marshal is a true OG! Good person to learn from, should of asked him about immersion cooling :)

Great work. Makes me want to get out to texas even more!
Amazing work 😎👍
Congratulations Peter and your team. That was excellent. Hope to see your journey to Kenya.
Nice work Peter! Beautiful. Cheers!!
Congrats for the job. Perfectly done! Will have a lot of shares.
I am blown away by the process, I had no idea. Well done!
Wow... Awesome show ... A big step up from your great podcasts. More!
Absolutely BRILLIANT film Peter. Well done lad.
Great one! More of this please!
Great episode! I would like to see more episodes like this and more on home mining please.
loved this behind the scene look at some of the miners, both large and small
Fantastic stuff, Peter.
this a lovely and inspiring documentary....we can only hope that these communities like Rockdale, TX, survive the moment when all BTCs will be mined in 2140 or earlier
This is the best one yet.
Cool work Peter. I love your approach and the way you document the subject. I will do a Bitcoin 1 x 1 in our company to interduce Bitcoin to my co workers. I will link this documentary in the energy section of the presentation :-) Thanks a lot man.
Thanks so much for making the film Peter and crew. Remarkable boots of the ground and realistic look at the industry and use cases which revitalize societies around the world. Bless Bitcoin and Satoshi.
Well done Peter ❤ Let’s see Kenya next
Nice, love this!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this thoroughly enjoyable and informative documentary...... I applaud you sir
Love this video, Pete. Thank you.
The bitcoin miners’ heat can be used as a by product: heat space, distill alcohol, laundry drying, etc
what a brilliant episode! As you I learned so much and the optimism you spread, Peter, is so encouraging. Wonderful!
Great video! Thanks Peter.
That is awesom guys😊
Great film Peter!
Thanks for this clip Peter. The Lone Star State - knows WTF is up! I am so proud to live here! Cheers!🍺
Great job Peter & team. Keep going please!
thanks Peter
Top notch content Peter!
The fact that Riot doesn't give every employee a BTC bonus is criminal.
Great job, Peter!
Incredible work Peter. Epic.
Thanks Peter, very nice reportage.
Great video!
Thankx for the proof of work!
Nice one Geezer
WELL DONE!! Great job!
Excellent work Peter 👏
