Scotland is beautiful! We are here for the @BitcoinConfUK & last night we drove up to Inverness. They shouldn’t allow Americans to rent a manual Kia & drive through the highlands. Naturally they drive on the Wrong side of the road & I had to use my left hand to switch gears.

#Bitcoin mining in Texas is twice as efficient when using clean energy compared to an average grid user due to our energy mix of wind, solar and NG. @kevinolearytv knows #TexasisBitcoinCountry @txblockchain1

After hearing what @PeterMcCormack did with his home town football/soccer team (buying it and making it a #Bitcoin centric team) it got me thinking..What if Texas Bitcoiners established a DAO to buy a minor league team based in Texas?

It is an honor to be one of the founding board members of the Texas #Bitcoin Foundation! This 501(c)3 entity is poised to compliment the work of the TBC by taking a macro view of the societal changes that Bitcoin will bring about in our communities, in Texas and around the world.

Great conversation today at @TheBitcoinConf with my fellow panelists @jamesmcavity , @ZachKBradford , and @harry_sudock ! Themes that emerged: co-location, self-mining, clean energy, and abundant communication with grid operators.
