I am from the future, and this claim has been refuted: Bitcoin is not a battery, it's a waste of everybody's resources. Some people who have been exposed to curves like the one at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Global_Carbon_Emissions.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Global_Carbon_Emissions.s...
