If you hear a no-coiner talking about bitcoin mining and its energy use and carbon footprint, send them this article. It’s neutral and cuts through a lot of the bullshit. It’s also not from any bitcoin publication, so it wouldn’t be instantly dismissed as biased.

Honestly pretty impressed with HBR for this coverage, even though (or especially because?) it’s a few years old.
