Rebuttal of GreenpeaceUSA Report on Bitcoin

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.
