1) How many people do you think are successfully escaping evil regimes via Bitcoin?
2) Energy concerns around Bitcoin/Crypto have been well-known for years. For you, how did it stay in the "laughing off" state until your position changed?
My off-the-cuff answer on energy would be to make it fully illegal to use grid electricity for mining, but that mining operations are free to generate their own electricity (and even sell the excess back to the grid, possibly replacing some set of peaker activities).
