@gerrymcgovern Not reposting as the preview image says “make bitcoin sustainable” which is impossible. You cannot make proof of work (proof of waste) sustainable. It’s the opposite of sustainable. Otherwise would have loved to have boosted it as the article is very informative.
@aral You're 100% correct. There's nothing remotely sustainable about bitcoin or crypto. It's a giant environment-destroying scam.
And this idea that if bitcoin was using 100% 'renewable' energy that everything would be ok, that's another scam. There is no such thing as 'renewable' energy and there is no such thing as 'sustainable' bitcoin.
