Greenpeace USA hat eine Anti-Bitcoin-Kampagne gestartet und projizierte das Bitcoin-Logo über der Skyline von New York City. Die Umweltorganisation möchte damit auf die schädlichen Klimaauswirkungen der Bitcoin-Investitionen von Finanzinstitutionen wie JPMorgan Chase und BlackRock aufmerksam machen. Laut Greenpeace verändert der Bericht, der die Auswirkungen von Bitcoin auf die Umwelt untersucht, nichts am Kontext. Die Bitcoin-Community reagierte auf die Kampagne von Greenpeace mit Memes, Beleidigungen und konstruktiver Kritik. Ein Umweltaktivist analysierte den Bericht und bemängelte die Ungenauigkeiten, fehlerhaften Quelldaten und die Voreingenommenheit der Referenten. Er forderte Greenpeace dazu auf, sich über Proof of Work und Bitcoins Rolle in der Energiewende zu …

Greenpeace USA started an anti-bitcoin campaign and projected the Bitcoin logo over the Skyline from New York City. The environmental organization would like to draw attention to the harmful climate effects of the Bitcoin investment of financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Blackrock. According to Greenpeace, the report, which examines the effects of Bitcoin on the environment, changes nothing in context.

The Bitcoin community reacted to the Greenpeace campaign with memes, insults and constructive criticism. An environmental activist analyzed the report and criticized the inaccuracies, incorrect source data and the bias of the speakers. He asked Greenpeace to find out about Proof of Work and Bitcoins role in the energy transition.

Greenpeace would like to take the financial giants responsible for the effects of their Bitcoin bets on the climate and has started a petition to switch Bitcoin's consensus mechanism to Proof of Stake. The environmental organization could publicly see the Bitcoin source code and even change it itself. However, it is questionable whether Bitcoin Pos will meet the hoped -for approval.

Contrary to the opinion of many critics, Bitcoin mining could have the potential to help shape the energy transition. Due to the flexible attachment and shutdown options of mining systems, you could serve as a spontaneous buyer for excess productions and thus make regenerative energies profitable.

A tulip breeder from the Netherlands already monetizes its electricity costs from Bitcoin mining. He relies on Bitcoin due to the positive effects on the environment.

The current anti-bitcoin campaign from Greenpeace USA is met in the Bitcoin community. The effects of Bitcoin on the environment and the role of Bitcoin in the energy transition are still controversial.
