If you haven't seen Dirty Coin The Movie, I recommend that you do. For those unfamiliar, it's a bitcoin mining documentary that investigates the often misunderstood industry.
https://www.dirtycointhemovie.com
The film dissects environmental debates, energy consumption myths, and the behind-the-scenes realities of mining operations.
It is beautifully crafted and appeals to a wide audience, not just for its cinematic beauty, but for the compelling story it tells and the thought-provoking issues it addresses.
https://youtu.be/mzw3koyXNS4
I've seen it twice and I'll see it for a third time in November. There are screenings worldwide; here is a schedule if you want to see if there is a screening near you.

The Silent Attack on British Democracy? My Reflections from the Front Line of the CBDC Debate
As the co-founder, director, and Head of Mining and Energy at Bitcoin Policy UK, I've monitored the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies through countless panels and forums over the last 18 months.
Historically, my calls for a balanced debate on CBDCs were met with scepticism, often dismissed by both The Digital Pound Foundation and the Bank of England, which refused to engage.
However, a shift occurred recently. In July, the Digital Pound Foundation invited my co-founder and Head of Policy, Freddie New ( @npub1wl3…znlx ), to speak at one of their panels. Freddie brought fresh insights to the panel, including Chaumian eCash, emphasising the need for a balanced debate.
Our latest event, "CBDCs: The Silent Attack on British Democracy?" held at The Legatum Institute, brought these issues into sharper focus. David Rennie from the Digital Pound Foundation attended—an act of bravery given the room's unanimous scepticism towards CBDCs. Previously, we had been sidelined from such discussions by the Foundation.
David, while a proponent of CBDCs, shares many of our privacy concerns, acknowledging the issues of media manipulation and the commoditisation of personal data. His openness to our perspectives on privacy was refreshing, though I find it slightly naïve. Individuals like David are well-intentioned, even if influenced by centralised control.
David stressed that the UK's CBDC design is still under discussion. He values programmability and believes it is essential for addressing issues like money laundering. While we diverge on the necessity and potential overreach of CBDCs, finding common ground on many aspects, differing primarily in our faith in the governance systems, was reassuring.
Last night's event reinforced that meaningful dialogue is possible. We must recognise the nuanced positions of individuals like David, navigating complex issues with genuine intent for public good.
David supports a digital pound that is well-designed in terms of its technical, operational, and governance structures. Although I remain sceptical given the track record of other countries and the apparent lack of understanding from our institutions, it gave me hope to see his good intentions.
We will continue to advocate for a financial framework that respects individual liberties and addresses the risks of centralisation. The journey is long, but the dialogue at events like these ensures that all voices, however critical, are part of shaping the future of our financial systems.
CBDCs still concern me deeply, and I will do everything in my power to oppose them. It was reassuring to know there are well-intentioned people on the other side, however misguided.
Through all these discussions and conferences, one thing remains crystal clear to me: Bitcoin is inevitable, and I have no doubt it. None of the proposed solutions even come close to matching its potential. ⚡️

A year ago, I wrote an article for City AM, raising alarm bells about how children would be used to justify increasing online control under the pretence of protection. I warned that while laws like the Online Safety Bill may seem noble, they pave the way for overreach and the erosion of our freedoms.
Now, with the Australian PM stepping in on similar issues, it’s clear the trend is accelerating. The more we surrender control, under the pretence of convenience or safety, the more we lose—and it's not just affecting us, it's shaping the world our kids are growing up in.
As a parent, I’m struggling with the reality that I’ve handed my kids a dangerous device—a smartphone—one that society has normalised. It weighs heavily on me. The world is so focused on COVID, yet seems blind to the real epidemic: the pervasive influence of smartphones on all aspects of our lives.
I fully appreciate the need for decentralised social media. In fact, when I shared my thoughts on the harms of social media on X, the post appeared to be shadow-banned. I know Nostr plays a key role in the fight against censorship, but how do we protect children from the darker sides of social media on platforms like Nostr?
If it’s solely the responsibility of parents, the next generation of children could be at serious risk.
I’m reminded of how our freedoms are being eroded when I’m forced to use a cash till at the supermarket, realising how we trade away freedom for convenience in every corner of life. We’re slowly surrendering control, and it’s no different with our kids.
We say it’s for protecting children, but our children are far from safe. The dangers are real, and we turn a blind eye. If we stop them from participating in what’s “normal,” they face social isolation.
Yes, parents should take responsibility. But let’s be honest: it’s not happening. So, now what?
Governments claim they’re stepping in to stop misinformation, but we all know who the biggest culprits are—the ones with power.
From the moment my kids were born, my instinct has been to protect them. But how can we say no when homework is assigned through apps and phones becomes essential? It’s a trap. I left my old career because I couldn’t turn a blind eye to what I saw happening, and now I find myself reluctantly accepting the evil of this tech-dominated world.
Even adults struggle to regulate themselves with this tech. How can we expect kids to manage? Parents don’t seem to grasp the magnitude of what’s happening.
We’ve normalised a tech designed to be addictive, bombarding our kids with violence, porn, and unrealistic expectations. Billionaires who design these tools keep their kids away from them—what does that tell us?
This generation is drowning—sad, depressed, and lost. What are we going to do about it?
Parents need to step up. We’re the adults here. The government can’t fix this for us, and expecting them to will only strip away more of our freedoms. I’m genuinely terrified for our kids, and it feels like no one else sees what’s really happening.
From food to information, our entire world is poisoned. Bitcoin might be part of the solution, but that’s a conversation for another day.
How do we protect our children without sacrificing our freedoms? The current system isn’t working—parents are overwhelmed, governments are overreaching, and tech giants are exploiting the very tools that shape our kids' lives.
We need to find a solution, we’re leaving the next generation to navigate a dangerous and addictive digital world alone.
The question I’m asking myself is: ‘How do we ensure our kids grow up safe, informed, and free?’

Morning Psychos. 🫡
Eighteen months ago, I responded to a New York Post article titled:
‘Bitcoin Fans Are Psychopaths Who Don’t Care About Anyone, Study Shows’.
The piece was categorised under the ‘mental health’ section.
However, my editor wouldn’t allow me to use the word “psychopath” in my rebuttal, so I had to rewrite it.
I ended up posting the original, uncut version on SubStack, but it didn’t gain much traction, after SubStack was shadowbanned by Twitter.
Given Bloomberg’s recent headline:
‘Crypto Owners More Likely to Have Psychopathic Traits, Study Says’,
I thought it might be time to revisit the topic.
Study shows, study says… perhaps the ‘studies’ are confusing bitcoin with crypto. It’s both funny and frustrating.
So, here’s why I know bitcoiners aren’t psychopaths—the uncut version.
