This is the only explicit mention of companies applying "risk assessment":

(Knox suspects she has ended up on a blacklist at Plaid, a provider of technology plumbing to large crypto exchanges like Gemini, Kraken, and Robinhood, leading to the repeated bans. Freya Petersen, spokesperson for Plaid, says no such list exists, but that all firms that wish to use its services are subject to a standard risk assessment process, factoring in the industry in which they operate.) -Wired

If you want to generate heat, go for higher voltage overclocks (you will need larger coolers to disperse the heat).

Probably best to clock optimally for XMR/watt to minimize net heating cost. Either keep it on for longer per day or get a 2nd rig for more total heat.

If you want to install & update a FOSS app that's not on f-droid there's also Obtanium https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/dev.imranr.obtainium

I think a video featuring Xerxes, Yasmin and Zachary would be fun.

At some level it's the fear of backing the wrong horse. To feel safe you have to be a "maxi", and to be a "maxi" you have to deny anything else can work. Bitcoin is the first crypto most people find, and the "everything else is a shitcoin" message creates a self-reinforcing cult atmosphere. The fact that mot altcoins soon fail reinforces that.

Almost all bitcoiners are there for "number go up" profit, so the price volatility also creates a lot of anxiety. The ones that stick with it become very committed HODLers. It's a bit like an abusive relationship, the pain makes you commit more. Market psychology is fascinating, and is why emotional investors lose their money.

Stansberry Research does some pro-bitcoin episodes, usually with TA, i.e. as speculative investment. Dominic Frisby also mentions BTC positively.

I follow George. Most of the more libertarian financial channels are pro gold/silver sound money, and tend to ignore or have antipathy to crypto as competition/distraction. HeresyFinancial is pro-bitcoin though. The technical analysis channels are happy to talk crypto. Now that CDBCs are looming some may start taking the crypto angle more seriously as an alternative.
