       Bitcoin is dirty, dirty, dirty.“The worldwide BTC mining network consumed 173.42 TWh of electricity during the 2020–2021 period, bigger than the electricity consumption of most nations. The mining process emitted over 85.89 Mt of CO2eq in the same timeframe, equivalent to the emission caused by burning [42 million tons] of coal or running 190 natural gas‐fired power plants.” https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023EF003871 #bitcoin #climatechange #climatecrisis

       First off, bitcoin does not solve all problems with money.  But to call it dirty, you'd have to extrapolate how much it would use to replace fiat worldwide, secondly compare that to the emissions of all fiat institutions combined.And evaluate if that is not worth keeping a store of value out of the hands of greedy and power hungry bureaucrats set on stealing whatever you have.

       @ScottAkenhead Is crypto mining dirtier than powering EVs?

       @ScottAkenheadBitcoin CO2 efficiency is already far above any nation's, though, and improving. Emissions are an unfortunate side effect, but I still believe #Bitcoin is the best tool we have to achieve democracy. Banks and big corporate have too much power over government today.@mastodonmigration

       Ironically, all the dumb social and financial engineering paid for with fake money is the reason Bitcoin is a global thing. If there wasn't so much fake money searching for a place to hide there wouldn't be this trillion dollars sloshing around in a bullshit ponzi scheme.
