A more insightful comparison would be between the CO2 emission for Bitcoin mining and for the traditional finance with its datacenters, heated offices, printed money (metals and paper), transportation etc.
Given that 60% of the energy consumed for Bitcoin is carbon neutral, this is probably an easy one.
- ProjectArcturis 4y agoAn easy one for traditional finance, you mean.
- rstat1 4y agoEnergy consumed doing nothing of value, is substantially worse than energy consumed actually doing something. So yes you are correct, it would be pretty easy win, but not for who you think.
- quickthrowman 4y agoTraditional finance is what powers the global economy and financial system so I guess it is an easy one.
