 Incentives! Some of my school district management pulled me, unexpectedly on a Monday morning, into a meeting and pointedly asked me to give them a "wow factor" idea of how to spend a large sum of $ on technology. 

I took a deep breath and hard pause... and then essentially pitched Bitcoin mining and heat waste recovery. They all took notes and discussed.

Out of body moment.

Found out later there's a corporate donor/tax write down wanting to also create some good PR for themselves. So looks like STEM high performance computers and 3D printers will be the end result. BUT still got to directly pitch the idea to all the decision makers. Raised eyebrows around.

So, regardless, am going to heat my classroom via reknewable energy s9 miners this winter and be loud n proud about it. ✅️🌿

Deflationary decentralized assets powerfully incentivize! ⚡️🤙😁
