$TSLA so Elon won't accept transactions in $BTC due to energy consumption yet was perfectly fine buying billion+ of BTC for the Balance Sheet? Makes ZERO sense. Either shows a lack or initial diligence or questionable fiduciary decision making. I like Elon, but, I don't get that

This is wild. Musk is presenting the case against Bitcoin. Something has changed wildly in his world. And no matter what it is, we can’t go back on this: Elon Musk has officially called out Bitcoin for not being environmentally friendly. This is a seismic pivot. Seismic. https://t.co/qqtxj5FwIU

HOST
Adam B. Levine joined CoinDesk in 2019 as the editor of its new audio and podcasts division. Previously, Adam founded the long-running Let's Talk Bitcoin! talk show with co-hosts Stephanie Murphy and Andreas M. Antonopoulos.
Finding early success with the show, Adam transformed the podcast's homepage into a full newsdesk and publishing platform, founding the LTB Network in January of 2014 to help broaden the conversation with new and different perspectives. In the Spring of that year, he would go on to launch the first and largest tokenized rewards program for creators and their audience. In what many have called an early influential version of "Steemit"; LTBCOIN, which was awarded to both content creators and members of the audience for participation was distributed until the LTBN was acquired by BTC, Inc. in January of 2017.
With the network launched and growing, in late 2014 Adam turned his attention to the practical challenges of administering the tokenized program and founded Tokenly, Inc. There, he led the development of early tokenized vending machines with Swapbot, tokenized identity solution Tokenpass, e-commerce with TokenMarkets.com and media with Token.fm. Adam owns some BTC, ETH and small positions in a number of other tokens.
