He can't fathom investing in a female founder without sexual motivation. @starkness is leading one of the most interesting startups in #crypto and is one of the most backable founders in the space by her credentials alone. Ver, you're the only one who's irrational.
My theory for why @jack is so irrationally hot for #LightningNetwork is because he has / had a romantic relationship with @starkness, the CEO of @lightning.

Rich comparing the energy usage of #bitcoin to Sweden, when you have Bitcoin miners like @HiveBlockchain actually in Sweden using 100% green (hydro) energy, much of it surplus and also working to balance the local energy grid in seconds vs. a 15 min rebalancing by hydro directly.
BREAKING: Bitcoin uses more energy than some countries, it's resurrecting closed fossil fuel plants and driving climate devastation. Now, we're joining with @ewg to reduce Bitcoin’s energy use by 99.9%. #ChangeTheCode:
