I’ve just about had it with people comparing #crypto and #tech to #cockroaches. Here’s a picture of a box of cockroaches. They can live in your home. I like my tech to be bug-free thanks.

Here’s the explanation about why there’s a picture of a parrot with a bitcoin.

Last week we talked about how climate work starts at the beginning of the year, and not at Cop. And what better way to start than by changing what you eat.

We’re both flexitarian - vegan about 80% of the time. So this comes from real experience.

Data centres are critical to everything that we know about the internet - whether you’re on Web1, Web2, or Web3. Because your data is not sitting in a cloud in the sky, or on a physical chain. It’s in a server sitting on a rack, in a concrete building.

There's a critical misunderstanding to what is meant by "worthless offsets".

Is protecting an intact forest "worthless" compared to planting a new sapling?

Certainly not. We need the old forests to continue doing what they do and we need MORE of it.
