Bitcoin Research Institute
summary
Universities publish widely cited papers that ignore Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment and block size cap, extrapolating energy use into a claim that Bitcoin emissions could push global temperatures +2°C in a decade — a paper the transcript says still has ~500 citations despite being debunked. The University of Wyoming launches a Bitcoin Research Institute to assemble interdisciplinary scholars, fund workshops, hire researchers (Andrew Bailey joins in fall 2025), and provide resources; the university accepts and holds Bitcoin and the foundation treasury has a 4% allocation toward Bitcoin.
