Rebuttal of GreenpeaceUSA Report on Bitcoin

October 17, 2023Posted inArticles, Energy
Daniel Batten: in July 2023, GreenpeaceUSA published a report “Investing in Bitcoin’s Climate Pollution”. My rebuttal argues that the report recycles many already widely-debunked claims about Bitcoin, uses unsubstantiated fear about “what might happen” rather than evidence to influence readers, and repeatedly avoids important contextualizing information in order to present a skewed and in many cases false appraisal of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is money, so understanding The Ethics of Money Production is paramount to understanding what Bitcoin is about. If you need a crash-course in economics, read Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt.

Bitcoin’s Energy Usage Isn’t a Problem. Here’s Why.

LYN ALDEN, August 2021, updated December 2021 - Bitcoin’s energy usage is a rounding error as far as global energy usage is concerned.

Bitcoin is estimated to use less than one tenth of one percent.
