This is bloody brilliant - Norm assembled a five minute version of the Wellerman TikTok sea shanty videos showing how the collaboration evolved over time
So I grabbed the stack of videos to compare them. The easiest way was to put them into Davinci Resolve (since I live in that now). And inevitably this happened… youtube.com/TjVDmMI4sbk

I recorded a podcast episode that I thoroughly enjoyed with Andreas a while ago: case-podcast.org/16-bitcoin case-podcast.org/17-blockcha…

4. Bitcoin can fulfill an increased global load without (linearly?) increasing its energy consumption.

If this is true, Bitcoin may turn out to be that one. That’s a big if, but probably true simply because of the lead it has. I agree with the requirements part, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the cost (which is of course the point of this discussion).

3. There is no other mechanism, apart from a PoW blockchain, that meets the same set of requirements. Maybe the world needs just one global PoW blockchain and the rest can be PoS or something else.

I have no idea how this compares, and I’m not sure it’s a valid comparison unless it’s broken down to a cost per transaction. But it’s true that we don’t have that number for the traditional financial system (AFAICT)

2. The energy consumption of Bitcoin is way more obvious than the one of the system you use with your credit card. What about the data centers (including all the processing power spent on fraud defection), bank clerks, office buildings, armored cars, ...?

If it were true, this would be a great argument. If it’s true for 1% of the energetic consumption, while 99% is produced from burning coal, it’s worthless. If it’s the other way around, things change again. Is there a way to figure out which is true?

His reasoning in the video is:
1. The cheapest electricity is the one created by renewable energy that’s produced in excess of demand (because you can’t turn it off). If you can use that to mine Bitcoin, you end up supporting green energy.

I’ve heard Andreas present these arguments many times. I’ve also heard many others claim the exact opposite (the latter way more often, tbh). So far, I’ve still been unable to make up my mind.
I've talked a LOT about energy consumption and #bitcoin over the years. Here's a video from 2017 where I explain why the "bitcoin energy consumption will ruin our planet" argument is a red herring: youtube.com/2T0OUIW89II

In 2019 I started the Crossover Project, where I studied how software and "real" engineering relate by interviewing people who've worked in both. 17 interviews, 12 hours of recordings, and untold hours editing later, I'm finally ready to share my findings! hillelwayne.com/post/crossov…

Fascinating to see how much in Martha Lane Fox’s 2010 letter that kicked of what would become gov.uk could still be applicable 1:1 to many organizations and countries (e.g. Germany): gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Wir speziell tun das nicht, aber viele andere Unternehmen natürlich schon. Aus meiner Sicht führt das Vergaberecht allerdings nicht unbedingt zu guten Lösungen (wieder ein anderes Thema)

Ola is high on my very short list of people whose advice on this issue I would trust without any doubts
I posted about the Signal messaging application versus Telegram a while ago, and I received a lot of answers about different applications as alternatives. So I'd like to write a thread giving an overview about my perspective on the security of different applications. 1/53
