Thanks for the write-up -- was hoping we'd get a full one after your posts in the Saloon.
And I think it's good to be aware of/reminded that there not all Bitcoiners are interested in circular economies.

Also:
Simon regaled us with a cautionary tale about mining. A few years back he and his partners set up an operation in an impoverished Pennsylvania town with cheap electricity.
