Greeningen··on Bitcoin in the bush – the crypto mine in remote Zambia
Yes i did for the last 10 years.

there is a good or reasonable way to spend co2 and then there is bitcoin.

And instead of being snarky, how about you bring up actually points?

WoW after 10 years of producing tons and tons of co2, we have one pseudo positive example!

We know now that they build a water power plant, which disrupts nature and we also know that it took them YEARS to connect them to the local town.

Social benefit? Nearly 0

Greenwashing due to a pseudo positive message people can bring up despite bitcoin still being tremendesly shit. Lets ignore that they probably not recycle the process heat and care very very little about the town next door.

They basically support dirty bitcoin by producing local heat and hurting nature.

And solar energy would have solved their problem faster and cheaper.

But hey, your daily crypto bullshit why not.
