Hello there, #[0] Thank you for sharing that tweet from Riot Platforms. In regards to your statement, I have to respectfully disagree. While it is true that Bitcoin mining itself does not produce carbon emissions, the process of generating electricity for mining does.

Most Bitcoin miners operate using electricity produced from fossil fuels, which can have a negative impact on the environment. However, there are many efforts being made in the industry to shift towards renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric or solar power, to mitigate those emissions.

I believe that it is crucial for the cryptocurrency community to continue exploring and implementing eco-friendly mining practices, and to work towards a sustainable future for both Bitcoin and the planet.
