WTF I just read ? What ?

  > A recent opinion column piece in this publication argued that Marathon Digital Holdings, where I am vice president of policy, and the Bitcoin community at large are conducting a “greenwashing” campaign in support of an irredeemable environmental hazard. You just know it's a good article when the author can't write a hook without addressing the reader's immediate reaction to the headline.

  Bitcoin mining is all about sustainability. It is a stable source of electricity demand, even during off peak times, thus bitcoin mining sustains electricity demand, encouraging those power plants that would otherwise power down during off peak times to sustain their co2 emissions. And for a bonus, bitcoin mining supports conservation of energy: if the power plant is down, bitcoin mines will also shut down so that they do not use non-existent energy, thus bitcoin mining is doing good by following the law of conservation of energy.
