From the climate impact alone, I wouldn’t touch Bitcoin with a bargepole .

“Bitcoin alone is estimated to consume 127 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year — more than many countries, including Norway. In the United States, cryptocurrency activity is estimated to emit from 25 to 50 million tons of CO2 each year, on par with the annual emissions from diesel fuel used by US railroads.”

Several of you have suggested that Canada’s Broadcaster, the CBC, should follow the BBC’s lead and set up its own Mastodon server. To further this idea, I’ve written the following letter to CBC President Catherine Tait.
Feel free to use the letter as a template if you would like to do the same. She does not appear to have a public email address, but you can reach her by using the CBC’s contact form: https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/contact-us

I think the Dutch government has indicated it will move to the fediverse. Haven’t heard of others. But that was very recent, so we may find others will follow.
