We need to be smarter about co2.

We don't price in the real cost of Bitcoin.

Every co2 we put out there without it doing specific work before like smelting or transporting critical goods is co2 we need to remove which we wouldn't otherwise.

It sure is better for Tesla to make cars out of it, calling this whole story a net benefit is just Missleasing.

I’m not really following what you’re saying here. Should BTC be more expensive because of the relative CO2 impact?
No, it's value should be 0 because climate externalities are higher than any potential non -speculative value it can provide.
It's not hard to follow. We have currently extreme weathers around the globe.

BTC creates ton of co2.

Co2 is the problem.

We can't afford btc

Bitcoin should not even be on the radar when it comes to co2.
