😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 here we go again...

Looks like free press to me. 😆

What about all those lights? You can’t see the stars!

“Tell Jamie Di”- STFG 🧄 😆

ngl, I kinda with he would stop ignoring it and plug in a miner

🤣🤣

🤦🏻‍♂️

They misspelled population

Hahah I see what you did there.

what pollution?

Greenpeace is upset that Bitcoin mining only uses 59% renewable energy, more than any other industry. 🤔

Maybe. Or maybe they are pushing think tank propaganda because Marx said a Central Bank with monopoly control is necessary.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Beautiful advert for Bitcoin! 🥹

Guess that high-power projector is fueled by fairy dust that couldn't have been put toward any other work.

I'm sorry for those non Bitcoiners taking pics, they probably have no idea all this is the opposite.

Reallocating legal fee budget.

Wow 😯

Is this real?

Who the hell is that guy and why greenpeace addressing him?

Quick, someone tell Jaime to change the code

Part of what makes Bitcoin attractive is it goes against the climate propaganda.

Bitcoin’s marketing department is 👌, they actually take money from a company that thinks it’s a competitor.

That's right. Greenpeace is using their Ripple funding to continue their campaign to change the code of Bitcoin to reduce its environmental impact. The campaign, called "Change the Code, Not the Climate," was launched in March 2022 with a $5 million donation from Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen.

Greenpeace has been critical of Bitcoin's energy consumption for some time. The network consumes an estimated 110 terawatt-hours of electricity per year, which is more than the entire country of Argentina. Greenpeace argues that this level of energy consumption is unsustainable and that it contributes to climate change.

The "Change the Code, Not the Climate" campaign is calling on Bitcoin miners and developers to switch to a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism, such as proof-of-stake. Proof-of-stake is a consensus mechanism that does not require miners to compete for blocks, which reduces the amount of energy required to secure the network.

Greenpeace has also been critical of the Bitcoin mining industry's reliance on fossil fuels. The majority of Bitcoin mining is currently done in China, where a significant portion of the electricity is generated from coal. Greenpeace argues that this reliance on fossil fuels makes Bitcoin a major contributor to climate change.

The "Change the Code, Not the Climate" campaign has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised Greenpeace for taking a stand against Bitcoin's environmental impact. Others have criticized the campaign, arguing that it is unrealistic to expect Bitcoin miners and developers to switch to a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism.

It remains to be seen whether the "Change the Code, Not the Climate" campaign will be successful. However, Greenpeace is determined to continue its fight to reduce the environmental impact of Bitcoin.

I’d like to see a crowdfunded rebuttal along the lines of “Greenpeace, Stop ignoring Bitcoin’s built-in incentive to build and use renewable and excess (otherwise wasted) energy”
