Wow, I don't think I would've imagined seeing Bitcoin being used at a mainstream consumer retailer.

The more I read about Bitcoin, the more excited I get. It started as a simple idea / project among a small group of users and today, the entire Bitcoin network consumes more electricity than some countries! Impressive for something that is so "young" relative to other projects that have touched so many lives.
If it took Bitcoin a decade to consume this much electricity, imagine what the next decade will hold. Could Bitcoin be the driving force to use more green, renewable energy? It would be such a turn of events if in ten years most of the electricity that is being used for mining comes from solar, wind or other forms of renewables.
That usage, which is close to half-a-percent of all the electricity consumed in the world, has increased about tenfold in just the past five years
I recently came across this simple to use, yet highly educational website called Case Bitcoin. It lays the case to invest in Bitcoin and also has plenty of interesting resources, including a comparison to the S&P500 and gold.
Let me know what you think of the site: https://casebitcoin.com/
Jack Dorsey just tweeted a link to monitor the adoption rate of Taproot (a new protocol that is supposedly privacy oriented):

I've seen many stores proudly display "We accept Bitcoin here" stickers but I haven't seen the same for Ethereum. Why is that?
