CO2 emissions is the new speech against bitcoin, and is becoming a huge trend since Mr. Musk says he will accept bitcoin payments on tesla when 50% of the miners become green. And it's really fun how bitcoin is becoming the bad guy because of the enormous contamination. and I want to ask you, is it a bitcoin fault?

The city with the biggest energy consumption is Las Vegas, and did you know where that energy comes from? it comes from carbon burning, but bitcoin is the bad guy.

We don't feed the miners with carbon or fuel, we feed them with electricity and we give zero fuck about the source of that energy because it's a service that our governments provide. If it's green energy or not that's out of our hands. So, people need to stop blaming bitcoin for the CO2 emissions, the governments will always choose the cheapest way to produce energy, so, those emissions aren't from bitcoin they are from the providers. If people want to blame someone they should find the right focus.

Elon Musk should be worried about the contamination generated by batteries and not about CO2 emissions, but that's a topic that he never talks about. So, this is just a nonsense drama.
