The map above shows which countries consume less electricity than the amount consumed by global bitcoin mining
Bitcoin’s ongoing meteoric price rise has received the bulk of recent press attention with a lot of discussion around whether or not it’s a bubble waiting to burst.
However, most the coverage has missed out one of the more interesting and unintended consequences of this price increase. That is the surge in global electricity consumption used to “mine” more Bitcoins.
Jesus,
You are the poor young man,
the lowly qualified carpenter,
the person who eats and drinks with sinners…
If I don’t know you are God before,
I’ll make friend with you or not?
Jesus, I’m fearful. Continue reading Prayer 342

How to sum up 2017? The global economy improved but there were plenty of unsettling and upsetting events and trends. Catastrophic storms and flooding wrecked homes and livelihoods from South Asia to the Caribbean. Education quality in many countries fell short even as much of the world raced into the digital age. Yet extreme poverty continues to decline. Innovation and technology are enhancing the quality of life. And human capital is now the biggest driver of wealth in the world today. Here’s what 2017 looked like in 12 charts.
Jesus,
I have so little faith.
Please increase my faith.
I want to enjoy the table you prepare for me.
I want to feel your love.
You so love me.
Amen.

Policemen (center row) keep watch as inmates wait before being released from Hoang Tien prison, about 100 km (62 miles) outside Hanoi August 30, 2013. Despite the official enthusiasm, few outsiders believe that executions offer an effective means of deterring corruption. Photo credit: Reuters
Sipping a cup of coffee in his office overlooking the Saigon River, Lien Khui Thin, 62, questioned Vietnam’s rationale for executing people like him.
In 1999, Thin and two other men, including a prominent banker, were sentenced to death for embezzling VND3 trillion (now US$141 million) by falsifying government loan documents.

VietNamNet Bridge – Among the thousands of pagodas in Viet Nam, Co Le Pagoda in the northeastern province of Nam Dinh stands out. For centuries, inhabitants have cited three strange aspects of the edifice: its architectural mix of occident and orient, its bell, and its courageous monks and nuns who joined armies to fight against invaders.

Jesus,
Words I don’t like to hear are…
So whenever I hear these words,
please keep my heart still.
Still with these words.
Still with the persons who say these words.
Still with you.
Amen.
