Re: How to debunk the Bitcoin Energy Consumption drama
If you are on Twitter, tag Elon as he needs to get bombarded.
We know that Elon's narrative on Bitcoin CO2 footprint is weak, at least because Tesla knew all this before buying Bitcoin and before accepting it for car payments.
So imho the fact it's an old narrative taken back up from the dusty vaults it's not of great importance.
Plus, we already know that extrapolations are wrong:
Calculating the energy consumption for Bitcoin (apart from extrapolation) also neglects the fact that the whole banking system requires energy as well. A lot of energy if think it through from the very first step to the very last.
As for Musk addressing that issue right now is hilarious, ridiculous, call it whatever you want. Out of a sudden he feels like bashing Bitcoin for its energy consumption.
Here "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM" he explains global warming and his whole business is all about energy (Tesla + Solarcity) but he only notices Bitcoin's energy consumption after polishing Tesla's P&L with sales from Bitcoin. What a faggot!
