Kentucky State Representative Steve Bratcher was on the show with Brian & Trisha to give an update on how things went in this legislative session.

In the sermon "Jesus vs Tradition," Pastor Jeremy Bratcher addresses the issue of tradition hindering compassion, using Jesus's encounters with the Pharisees as an example. Coming from Luke chapter six, Pastor Bratcher shares the instances where Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for truly neglecting loving acts in the name of preserving their stringent religious laws. The Pharisees, as temple leaders, had created a vast number of additional Sabbath laws, focusing more on legalism and tradition than compassion. Pastor Bratcher explains how their preference for rigid traditions over benevolence led to exclusion and stagnancy, and consequently, they failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. The sermon underlines the risk of prioritizing tradition over compassion and love, arguing for a balance between firm convictions and flexibility in relationships. It calls for advocacy for marginalized groups, emphasizing that love and compassion should be considered paramount, even above strict religious protocols. It compels Christians to emulate Jesus's compassionate outlook, reject restrictive traditions, and adopt the law of love when interacting with people of differing views and backgrounds. Finally, the sermon advises Christians to remember that all commandments are fulfilled through the law of love.

Lee Bratcher, President of the Texas Blockchain Council, explains why Texas is the bitcoin mining capitol of the world and the industry's plan to use off-grid natural gas to power bitcoin mining (gas that would otherwise be flared into the atmosphere, representing lost revenue for natural gas producers). Bratcher describes bitcoin as de-centralized, censorship resistant, and the opposite of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). He explains the plan for bitcoin miners to help balance demands on the Texas grid. Texas is the only state with its own grid.

The sermon delivered by Pastor Jeremy Bratcher, part of the "Jesus Changes Everything" series, delves deeply into the concept of change in the context of faith. Using a blend of personal anecdotes, psychology, and biblical teachings, the pastor explores the inherent resistance to change, arguing change becomes achievable only when the discomfort of remaining the same overpowers the discomfort of change. He delves into Maslow's hierarchy of needs, establishing it as a widely recognized path to personal growth, yet suggests that the transformative power of Jesus contradicts and transcends it. Pastor Jeremy uses the account of Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3:13-17 to illustrate his perspective. Even before Jesus had performed any miracles, he was unequivocally reaffirmed and accepted by God, thereby challenging Maslow's hierarchy. Using this example, the pastor underscores the transformative power of Jesus and the acceptance offered by God, irrespective of personal accomplishment. He concludes his sermon by encouraging the congregation to have faith in their inherent worth, and to be open to the life-altering power of Jesus. This sermon makes a poignant connection between the spiritual and the everyday, challenging listeners to rethink their relationship with change and their understanding of their self-worth in the light of their faith.

“42% of people under the age of 29 own digital assets in Texas and the US is probably similar…10 years from now every presidential candidate will have a platform and in all likelihood it's got to be pro.”— Lee BratcherLee Bratcher is the President of the Texas Blockchain Council. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin mining in Texas, the North American Blockchain Summit 2023 and the regulatory challenges miners face. We also talk about the potential impact of politicians embracing Bitcoin, the importance of mainstream media presence at the upcoming conference, and efforts to attract professionals to Bitcoin events. - - - - This podcast was made before the start of the Texas Bitcoin Summit in Fort Worth, which started yesterday and runs through until Friday. The summit is expected to be the biggest one yet, with over a thousand attendees and a focus on mining. And this year the Texas Blockchain Council has excelled at attracting some major political figures, including RFK, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ted Cruz, Cynthia Lummis, Andrew Yang and Warren Davidson. Texas seems to understand Bitcoin better than other states, which is attributable in part to the independent thinking and educational efforts in the state. The Texas Bitcoin mining industry is a catalyst for Bitcoin mining across the world, leading the way in developing use cases such as demand response grid balancing services and the incentivisation for the build-out of renewable energy.However, the path to wider acceptance of mining in Texas has not been foregone, and the future is still uncertain. The challenges the industry has faced have been significant. For example, Senate Bill 1751 in Texas sought to ban miners from the very same ancillary services that have benefitted ERCOT's grid balancing objectives. These efforts have been pushed by traditional legacy industries in Texas aided by their strategy of regulatory capture. Traditional industries such as steel mills and petrochemical refineries have been frustrated by Bitcoin miners bidding down the price for demand response services (which in turn has benefits consumers). The bill passed unanimously in the Senate. The fact the bill was ultimately killed in the House was thanks in large part to the efforts of the Texas Blockchain Council under Lee Bratcher's presidency. The issue highlights the problem of getting a political consensus on Bitcoin. Elizabeth Warren, for one, makes it difficult for Democrats to openly support Bitcoin. However, a few Democrats are showing a more practical and nuanced understanding. And, being anti-Bitcoin will become a risky position to take in the future due to generational-led shifts in opinions. Until then, it's up to bodies like the Texas Blockchain Council to continue to fight for Bitcoin.- - - - This episode's sponsors:Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.

Hey there, 5G Guys Podcast listeners! Today, we're diving into the world of emergency response and the revolutionary technology that's making it all possible: FirstNet. FirstNet is the first-ever nationwide, interoperable broadband network that's exclusively dedicated to first responders. It all started with the tragedy of 9/11, which led to the complete collapse of the New York cellular networks. In response, the US government formed the FirstNet authority, which was tasked with creating a nationwide network that would give first responders a dedicated channel for emergency communications, prioritized over commercial users. We had the opportunity to speak with Jeff Bratcher, CTO of FirstNet, who provided us with a detailed history of the network and how it operates. With the help of AT&T, FirstNet dedicates 20 MHz of spectrum and billions of dollars to ensure that first responders have the resources they need to communicate during emergencies. The network operates on cutting-edge technology, which allows for lightning-fast communication between first responders and their teams. It prioritizes emergency communications, so first responders can communicate seamlessly without any lag or interference. This means that in times of crisis, first responders can focus on saving lives without having to worry about connectivity issues. Overall, FirstNet is a game-changer for emergency response. It's making our communities safer by providing first responders with the resources they need to do their job more effectively. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation with Jeff Bratcher and learn more about the incredible technology behind FirstNet. Thanks for tuning in to the 5G Guys Podcast with Dan and Wayne!

“This industry has so much potential to be a demand side battery for any grid (but especially the Texas grid, because we have so much of it and we have so much stranded energy that because of transmission congestion) that it could be revolution — it could do for the Texas grid what batteries will do for grids in the Northeast or in Western Europe.”— Lee BratcherLee Bratcher is President of the Texas Blockchain Council. In this interview, we discuss the important work of the Texas Blockchain Council in educating decision-makers and providing a link to Bitcoin businesses, which has helped Texas to become a global leader in Bitcoin. We also talk about the risks of introducing any form of CBDC.- - - - Texas has become the US's home of Bitcoin, maybe the global home of Bitcoin. A state whose motto is friendship has extended its hand to those seeking to mine and develop Bitcoin. Why is this? Texans are independent, hard-working, freedom-loving people. As our guest Lee Bratcher states on the show: “The ethos of Texas just matches up with the ethos of Bitcoin.” But, there is a more pragmatic reason why this has happened: Texas's economic history shows a state that embraces opportunity. And with Bitcoin mining, we are seeing perhaps one of the biggest opportunities to present itself to energy grids. Governments across the world are seeking to transition to more renewable and volatile energy sources. And, as we have seen, Bitcoin mining provides a range of tools to help grids in this transition. Texas's grid operator, ERCOT, has embraced Bitcoin mining, and as such, it is reaping the benefits. Bitcoin mining is making the Texas grid more resilient to peak demands, it is facilitating the build-out of stranded energy sources, and could potentially help keep energy prices low. A welcoming regulatory landscape and collaborative approach to planning are resulting in Texas working towards being the home for 20-25% of the global hashrate.But, Texas has not woken up to the utility of Bitcoin mining on its own. The fact the state has a dedicated Bitcoin advocacy group is a critical factor in this story. The Texas Blockchain Council was set up to make Texas the jurisdiction of choice for Bitcoin. To that end, it educates lawmakers, acts as a conduit between the state and Bitcoin companies, and actively defends Bitcoin against attacks from senators in DC. It's another inspiring and motivating Bitcoin story. - - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyLedn - Financial services for Bitcoin hodlersBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is hereLedger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletCasa - The leading provider of Bitcoin multisig key securityWasabi Wallet - Privacy by default-----WBD620 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.
