Featured contributors
Andrew M. Bailey
Professor of Philosophy, National University of Singapore · Senior Fellow, Bitcoin Policy Institute
Bailey co-authored Resistance Money: A Philosophical Case for Bitcoin (2024) — the most rigorous academic treatment of Bitcoin to date. He kindly shared his entire research corpus (book, three peer-reviewed papers, and an AI-training dataset) for projects like this one. 40 facts in our database trace directly to his work.
Daniel Batten
Climate-tech investor · Developer of the BEEST sustainable-mining model
Batten's 4-principle communication framework — Truth First, Influence Don't Just Inform, Check Intention, Authority + Humility — is the editorial backbone of this database. His research on Bitcoin mining's environmental profile underlies most of the energy and grid facts.
