Does using nostr mean I HAVE to use bitcoin? I would rather use tezos: this could be a deal-breaker for me. #crypto #bitcoin #tezos #thereisnoplanetB

Environmental effects of bitcoin - Wikipedia

A 2022 non-peer-reviewed commentary published in Joule estimated that bitcoin mining resulted in annual carbon emission of 65 Mt CO 2, representing 0.2% of global emissions, which is comparable to the level of emissions of Greece.

Tezos is a pioneer in environmental responsibility within the blockchain space. It utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, which has a much smaller energy footprint compared to Proof-of-Work (PoW). In fact, Tezos' energy usage is equivalent to just 17 global citizens.

Use what you want, but proof of stake means the first owners can always keep late comers out. Proof of work means that the protocol is literally open to all.

Premiering, in particular, is just a get rich quick scheme

I didn't know about the keeping latecomers out angle. Where can I read more about this? Trying to understand.
