(Even though I have a fraction of the following here). <br/><br/>So thank you. <br/><br/>It's working!<br/><br/>If you are thinking "what is this all about?" - read the surprising backstory below. <br/><br/>If you'd like to give, you can do so here.<br/><br/>Bitcoin<br/>👇<br/><a href="https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoinesg">https://geyser.fund/project/bitcoinesg</a><br/><br/>Fiat<br/>👇<br/><a href="https://donorbox.org/lets-get-this-bitcoin-ad-in-the-ny-times">https://donorbox.org/lets-get-this-bitcoin-ad-in-the-ny-times</a><br/><br/>Keep giving, keep sharing.<br/><br/><br/>The Backstory:<br/><br/><br/>A while ago, I was unexpectedly contacted by one of the world’s top advertising creatives (who is also a bitcoiner).<br/><br/>He shared his #1 adoption concern:<br/><br/>Retail’s lack of interest in Bitcoin.<br/><br/>"They think they know what Bitcoin is, and based on that, they're not interested"<br/><br/>What he said next floored me.<br/><br/>“I’m in a unique position of both caring deeply about bitcoin and working with advertising at the highest international level.<br/><br/>And I don’t see a better story to open people’s minds about Bitcoin than the methane story. Nothing is even close”<br/><br/>“If we want retail to give Bitcoin a second look, we need to hook them with something unexpected.<br/><br/>The methane story is it. It's surprising, hope-inspiring and no other single sentence about Bitcoin has the same punch”<br/><br/>He proposed that we shine a light of truth in the darkness: A full page ad in the New York Times.<br/><br/>The ad could create enough of a stir to get this message on some big podcasts and other broad media outside Bitcoin-land<br/><br/>(with a little help from his PR colleagues).<br/><br/>So he orange-pilled a colleague, and they made this ad for us, free of charge.<br/><br/>Imagine opening the NYT and seeing this truthbomb!<br/><br/>The NYT print edition has over 500,000 subscribers, many of which are very influential.<br/><br/>So the ad can make a real difference for how Bitcoin is perceived. And it can accelerate our goal to make Bitcoin mining carbon-negative.<br/><br/>One more thing:<br/>Most people still think Bitcoin = crypto<br/>(no surprise they're not interested in BTC!)<br/><br/>Repeating "Bitcoin not crypto" doesn't change that.<br/><br/>But of the world's top cryptos, only Bitcoin mitigates methane.<br/><br/>This ad shows a huge audience that Bitcoin ≠ crypto.<br/><br/>A version of this ad has already run on Instagram, where it outperformed every other post on that account, including the lighter and funnier ones<br/><br/>How do we funds this ad?<br/><br/>Same way we defeated GreenpeaceUSA: we work together as one<br/><br/>Let's crowd-funding this thing into history.<br/><br/>If we raise $70,000, we can put the ad in the NYT.<br/><br/>If we raise $2K, we can put it in a small but influential magazine like the Royal Geographical Society’s magazine.<br/><br/>And there are lots of interesting spots in between.<br/><br/>Let's do this! <br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/50b57618517dec1ddbedcc0a7cbd0ae37b389afdaba04e11695f99c7fcbf41c4.png"> <br/><br/> </blockquote> 2026-11-04T21:08:41Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsy5hyvvpplmu8ylvx44ecjlv8cuq5jmq2d23s6uyt04lp2pf97jnczyrq2yagu4u9xmwef930tm6f6ly0vazmq6ev3ak2gn6k0fmnhj3j4jt97a8t <blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqs932whdghv0yeua0vplq8cnu0423cek4fva95cscpgdewl8nn8e2qpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcrqsqqqqqphrys03" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…ys03</a></span> </div> I often think about this Chomsky quote when thinking about politics, economics, the rate of inflation, how much debt, etc and people’s actions in this crazy world we live in. <br/><br/>“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.
