Bitcoin gets judged by its energy use, not the freedom it provides. It was never built for top-down control. “Innovation does not come out of bureaucracy. It never has, never will” – @Daniel Batten An open network takes energy – and “the use of energy is a virtue, not a vice.”

Kristyna Mazankova is running the world’s first Master in Bitcoin at Hesperides University in Spain. “Bitcoin deserves an academic space on a free university where anybody can study.” Students will learn Bitcoin properly – economics, tech, culture, mining, self-custody, privacy, law and geopolitics. “We don’t need another job seekers. We need problem solvers”

Following Bitcoin MENA in Abu Dhabi this week, I’m committing to trying harder with Nostr. Sharing some of my recent highlights, like interviewing @Daniel Batten – hearing about the great work him and his coachees are doing out there in the space. Keep up the good work!
