> When you say Bitcoin "hurts the environment", what, concretely do you mean? Presumably, you mean it in a stronger sense than "using energy to produce food hurts the environment" or "using energy to run an ER hurts the environment". Perhaps a more direct analogy is "literally miming gold hurts the environment (since I highly doubt renewable energy is significantly leveraged in the supply chain)". > That is, you think that relative to the benefit provided, the use of (harmful) energy to run bitcoin miners doesn't justify its environmental cost. It makes me wonder if you couldn't somehow tie a renewable energy certificate (1) to a mined coin. I suppose green coin (2) is a similar, albeit indirect concept (i.e. value is from a unit of carbon sequestration). 1.) https://www.epa.gov/greenpower/renewable-energy-tracking-sys... 2.) https://coincheckup.com/coins/greencoin/purpose |
