Bitcoin, a Gift to Environment

  Is this more than a collection of talking points?

    From the abstract: "This article will address this debate and try to understand Bitcoin's use of energy, and more specifically its carbon impact today and tomorrow. In this article, I will not engage in a war of figures, rather put those figures in perspective and explain the underlying trends of proof-of-work. I will also try to explain what a Bitcoin world would mean in terms of environmental but also economic sustainability. All in all, we end up discovering that Bitcoin may be much more of a hope than a threat in the sustainability debate."

      That’s not really an answer to my question. Bear in mind the linked page says: ‘A full pack of answers to your friends when they suggest you should stay away from Bitcoin because it is “not good for the environment”.’

        Can you clarify what you mean by "more" in "more than a collection of talking points"?
