NEW RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT BITCOIN IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
CEO & Co-Founder of Satoshi Action Fund | President and Founder of Satoshi Action Education
MASSIVE BRREAKING: New research co-authored by a former Greenpeace activist and an environmental economist (Ph.D.) confirms that Bitcoin?mining is a powerful tool to cleanup the environment and mitigate methane emissions. THIS PAPER SHOWS THAT: ??Bitcoin is good for the environment ??Bitcoin can fund methane cleanup ?? Bitcoin converts waste to economic value ?? If 1% of the BTC?network converts to vented methane it would eliminate the emissions equivalent of 9 billion miles driven by a gas-powered vehicle. This new research challenges the common perception of Bitcoin?mining. It flips the current narrative that "Bitcoin mining is bad for the environment" on its head and instead highlights how Bitcoin?can serve as a powerful force for good. YOU MUST READ THIS PAPER: https://lnkd.in/g_huKfWT This groundbreaking paper, led by Satoshi Action Fund and Nodal Power underscores the potential for Bitcoin?mining to serve as a "sustainable economic model for methane mitigation" and shows how Bitcoin?can transform "an environmental challenge into a viable economic asset." The paper further states that just 1.14 MW of mining could mitigate 2,187 metric tons of CH4 annually, which is equivalent to 156,000,000+ miles driven by a gasoline-powered passenger vehicle. To put this into context, the Bitcoin?mining network operates at ~6,000 MW in the USA alone. If just 1% of Bitcoin mining in America switched to vented methane, it would equate to 131,220 metric tons of CH4 reduction. That is the same as 9,000,000,000+ (yes, that's 9 billion!) miles driven by an average gasoline-powered vehicle. By capturing methane gas and turning it into electricity for Bitcoin?mining, this paper addresses two critical challenges: reducing methane emissions and finding a profitable use for surplus energy. Bitcoin mining has often been criticized for its high energy consumption, but this model alters that narrative. By utilizing landfill methane, Bitcoin?transforms a notorious environmental offender into a clean, revenue-generating energy source. The study utilized data from Nodal Power, a landfill Bitcoin?miner who takes a cutting-edge approach with their patented technology to mitigate methane right here in the USA. Without their support, this paper would not have been possible. The paper was also co-authored by Daniel Batten and Dr. Murray Rudd. Daniel, a former Greenpeace activist, is now a leading advocate for the potential of Bitcoin mining to reduce emissions from landfills. Dr. Rudd played a pivotal role in the paper using his extensive academic expertise to model the outcomes. READ AND SHARE THE PAPER HERE: https://lnkd.in/g_huKfWT The integration of technology and sustainability marks a bold step toward a greener future. If adopted widely, Bitcoin? miners could turn methane into digital gold—literally—and help curb one of the most potent climate-warming gasses on Earth.

BIG NEWS FROM LOUISIANA: The State of Louisiana (with a unanimous 103-0 vote) Passes a Bill To Protect Your 'Fundamental Bitcoin?Rights' out of the State House. Louisiana is taking decisive steps to safeguard the freedom of Bitcoin-related activities within the state. Upon enactment, this legislation will explicitly ensure protection for: ???Your right to purchase Bitcoin? ??Your freedom for Bitcoin?mining ??The right to self-custody your BTC ??The freedom to operate a full node Louisiana now stands at the forefront of a pioneering movement that upholds your Bitcoin rights! Spearheaded by Rep. Mark Wright and bolstered by the robust support of the Pelican Institute a groundbreaking bill has strongly advanced through the Louisiana House. Envision a future where your Bitcoin?rights are permanently embedded into legislation, positioning Louisiana as a haven for digital currency innovation. This vision is within reach, but its realization depends on the forthcoming steps—approval by the Senate and endorsement by the Governor. Now, more than ever, we require a powerful surge of support. Your voice, your efforts, can make a decisive difference. Why is this important? Because this bill transcends the mere facilitation of technology—it's about securing our liberty to engage with Bitcoin?without restrictions. It signifies a resolute stance against government overreach, guaranteeing that Louisianans' (and, by extension, all Americans, inspired by the state's example) can leverage Bitcoin?as a means for financial empowerment and innovation.

However, success is not guaranteed. As the bill progresses to the Senate, the call for community backing is more critical than ever. Your involvement, whether through advocacy or financial support, is crucial. Your support is what fuels our organization and our ability to protect Bitcoin?rights in the USA. Donate here: donorbox.org/btc-rights Together, we can ensure these essential rights are acknowledged and preserved, setting a benchmark for the nation to strive towards.

Our acquisition of three Mississippi Bitcoin mining data centers is complete and initial operations have already begun, boosting CleanSpark's operating hashrate to over 15 EH/s. In nearby Georgia, we have invested over $700 million into energy infrastructure, miners, buildings, and job creation, while contributing tens of millions of dollars to communities in the form of taxes and local margins on energy bills. We expect to bring the same level of care and attention to Mississippi that we are known for in Georgia. “Expanding into a new state is an important milestone for our company and we are looking forward to partnering with the communities we are joining. By maximizing the grid services capabilities of bitcoin miners, we aim to create jobs and foster economic growth that benefits both our new neighbors and our shareholders. Our investment in Mississippi is one more step in the direction of the shared prosperity that Bitcoin promises.” -CEO Zachary Bradford Full release: https://bit.ly/49PKL41 #bitcoinminer #clsk #expansion

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Satoshi Action is positioned to protect your rights to self-custody and mine Bitcoin in up to THIRTEEN states. It may be our best?chance to beat Elizabeth Warren. When I launched Satoshi Action, I believed the USA had an opportunity to lead the world on Bitcoin At the time, many assumed the federal government would limit or even BAN Bitcoin. Unfortunately, you weren’t wrong if you made that assumption. Senator Elizabeth Warren is currently attempting to pass a ‘Bitcoin Ban Bill’ that would effectively END your ability to self-custody and mine Bitcoin. The worst part is she has 20 co-sponsors! Some say the bill cannot pass, but all of that could change in less than one year! If Elizabeth Warren passes her ‘Bitcoin Ban Bill’ in the Senate, it would likely be killed in the House by the Chair of Financial Services, Patrick McHenry. Unfortunately, Representative McHenry has announced he is retiring. In 2024, McHenry could easily be replaced by someone who isn't a champion, or worse, we could see one of Elizabeth Warren’s friends take that seat. Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Bitcoin Ban’ is a real threat. We cannot sit idle by and let her win. Please consider making an end of year donation to Satoshi Action so we can continue to fight back: https://lnkd.in/gFmkTQgy If Warren's bill passes, here's what could happen: - You lose your right to self-custody Bitcoin - Home mining would become a thing of the past - Bitcoin would have to be stored with big exchanges, not by you! - All big miners would be forced to register as financial institutions causing massive amounts of centralization By 2025, the USA could become one of the worst countries in the world to use, mine, and HODL Bitcoin. This would push Bitcoin and Bitcoin miners out of the USA. Something we cannot let happen. FORTUNATELY, there is one way to stop the ‘Bitcoin Ban’ from working… The states created the federal government and have a massive amount of power in America. If they work together to protect our right to self-custody and mine Bitcoin, we can ensure America leads the world on Bitcoin. This is why the team at Satoshi Action is so focused on passing laws at the state level. We passed two bills into law this year in Montana and Arkansas protecting Bitcoin. Now we are positioned to pass laws defending your right to self-custody, mine, and transact in Bitcoin in up to 13 states! This is why I believe 2024 is one of the most important years in the history of Bitcoin. Our pro-Bitcoin model policy is already in the hands of lawmakers across the country who are ready to pass the policy into law. But we need your help to raise the money necessary to win in all 13 states. Support our effort to pass Bitcoin bills in THIRTEEN states: https://lnkd.in/gFmkTQgy The team at Satoshi Action is completely dedicated to ensuring the STATES protect your rights to access Bitcoin. We could do this in up to 13 states in 2024, setting a foundation of protections across the USA.
