Bitcoin & the Energy Consumption Fallacy

https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-mining-three-reasons-why-energy-consumption-rhetoric-is-pure-nonsense/ OSATO AVAN-NOMAYO | OCT 14, 2018 - The pseudo-environmentalists will have you believe that Bitcoin mining means the death of the planet. Much of their arguments revolve around energy consumption at data centers used for carrying out the complex mathematical computations needed to validate transactions on the blockchain. The problem with these arguments is that they imagine the world as having a single energy grid. To them, energy is a finite concept which means that Bitcoin miners are simply guzzling vast chunks of it to the detriment of other would-be users. So, when mining farm A in China and mining farm B in Iceland are in operation, the remaining parts of the world somehow suffer dips in energy supply? Bitcoin mining cannot in any meaningful way affect global energy consumption more so than truly heavy industries like smelting plants and banks. Yes, you read that right, banks. Many Bitcoin mining facilities around the world use off-grid renewable energy sources. In other places around the world, companies have established solar-powered and wind-powered mining centers.

Irony

You are a flake. You had us believing that you cared and then you voted to confirm Kavanaugh as if Blasey Ford's testimony had never happened. You and your fellow Republicans lack a conscience.

Governor Brown Signs AB 2098 into Law

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2098 .........identify common measures for meeting the needs of immigrant and refugee adults seeking integration........ placement of adults seeking immigrant integration into adult education programs......improved literacy skills and wages....... including increased participation in civic and community life.

Only One of Them (Kavanaugh or Blasey Ford) is Telling the Truth. If You Heard them Speak, I'm Sure You Found Him to be Over-the-Top Defensive (with a Trump-Ass-Kissing Twist) and Her Completely Believable. Do You Want a Sexual Predator on the Supreme Court?

Immigrant Integration & CA Bill AB 2098

Policy bill AB 2098 (McCarthy) has moved on to the Governor’s desk for final signature! When signed into law, AB 2098 will intentionally call out ‘immigrant integration’ in California’s adult education legislation, and enable adult education program consortia across the state to report on immigrant integration outcomes for their students! We believe this bill will restore a balanced approach to publicly funded ESL programs by placing equal importance on linguistic, economic AND social integration of adult English Learners.

Why use Bitcoin?

Adapted from: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1824913-why-would-i-use-bitcoin-why-should-i-use-bitcoin- When you send bitcoins to someone else, there is no required involvement from a payment processor. This means the fee for each transaction is very small -- from zero to negligible. Being peer to peer also means that there's no central entity controlling the network. There's no need to trust or receive permission from any specific person or organization to participate in the Bitcoin network. For this reason, Bitcoin is global and resilient to problems that have plagued traditional currencies. In many cases, using bitcoin is the easiest and quickest way to make a payment on the internet. When making a donation, or buying a digital item that doesn't require shipping, Bitcoin doesn't require any personal information. The merchant doesn't need any information, because they aren't charging you (like a credit card), rather you are sending them the payment (like cash). Accepting traditional credit card payments is not only expensive for merchants, it also leaves them open to fraudulent payment reversals and chargebacks. Since Bitcoin payments are not reversible, once a merchant has received payment, they can be sure that the payment will not be cancelled fraudulently. If a merchant doesn't have access to traditional credit card or payment networks, Bitcoin enables them access to the global economy instantly, and with negligible fees. Bitcoin enables the freedom to store and control your money in an unprecedented manner. Free from restrictions, penalties and fees commonly imposed by banks, you are empowered to make decisions about your finances that were previously the domain of financial institutions and governments. Bitcoin enables you to take personal responsibility for your savings. Money without the need to trust a third party is something Bitcoin enables that has never existed before. Trusting third parties isn't necessarily bad, but having the option is important. Coinbase also offers the opportunity to be in complete control of your funds with our true multi-signature vault accounts. Bitcoin is considered a store of value like gold, but it can also serve as a method of transferring funds internationally. The future value of a bitcoin will depend on what role(s) the Bitcoin network assumes over time in the global economy. Since Bitcoin is such a new concept, there are many new applications and use cases that have yet to be realized.
