Cornell Bitcoin Club Meeting #3 Follow-Up

Hi All, 

Hope you're having a nice February break. Here are the slides & recording from the third meeting. 

Main Topic: Bitcoin x Energy

  • Why do we care about energy?

  • Proof of Work (PoW)

  • Energy & Renewables Misconceptions

  • Misinformation Campaigns

  • Addressing "bitcoin has no use"

  • Consolidation of various reports

Note: I could have done a much better job delivering this lesson. A lot was covered, and while I think I did a decent job reiterating main take-aways, as I was delivering the lesson I realized I had done a very poor job of structuring the order in which the concepts should be presented. For instance, I presented Bitcoin (mining) as a solution before clearly addressing the problems.

SO, I am going to re-do the slides (& split this into 2 or 3 lessons (& probably audio record a new lesson)). While I dislike failing because it's not beneficial to you all, I do enjoy learning to improve. 

As a reminder...

See you next Thursday (03/07) at 5:30pm in Gates G01! We will be having a Guest Speaker from Trammel Venture Partners, a Bitcoin VC Fund. 

This coming Thursday (02/29), I will be away at a Bitcoin Conference. If you're interested, I'll share the livestream link! 

Thank you!

Warmly, 

Ella
