A Philosophical Case for #Bitcoin
Looks like a masterpiece!

A reduction of CO2 therefore makes sense and without panic, but with consistency.
We see Bitcoin as a wonderful opportunity for economic disinflation and as a promoter of renewable energy expansion. We are skeptical about purely centralized solutions - for the following reasons: dysfunctionality, false economic incentives (expansion of the money supply), possible surveillance.
Greater than 99% consensus on human caused climate change in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.

It's not just about the article itself, it's all about the studies that are mentioned in it. For example:

Of course, the earth would regain equilibrium. The problem is the speed of climate change and there is a risk that several climate tipping points will soon be reached (including the thawing of permafrost, which releases methane, which is another accelerator) - with fatal consequences for many people around the world (floods, droughts, hunger). Strong migration movements are to be expected. Therefore, we should do everything we can to slow down the warming of the earth.
I agree with you, CO2 is not a pollutant per se, but a valuable part of the earth's ecosystem. However - as Paracelsus said - the quantity makes the poison.
CO2 "seals" the atmosphere, causing the heat from the incoming rays of the sun to accumulate (greenhouse effect).
A reduction of CO2 therefore makes sense and - as you rightly say - without panic, but with consistency.

Sorry Guy, but I disagree. CO2 is the biggest driver of current climate change, with a large human contribution. CO2 seals the earth's atmosphere (heat is trapped); as a result, the planet heats up more due to the incoming rays of the sun (greenhouse effect).
Is climate change caused by humans?
Hundreds of research institutions worldwide agree that the current rapid rate of climate change is caused by human activity. A US study ( https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966/pdf )
analyzed 88,125 climate studies and concluded that 99% of the studies agree that humans play an overwhelming role in climate change. With the help of models, it is possible to simulate how the climate would have developed without anthropogenic influences and how it finally developed with those influences.
Here is a summary of many studies including evidence that there is a man-made part to climate change:

Some of the FFF people are convinced that an inflationary economic system is part of the environmental damage the world is experiencing. This thought led them to Bitcoin.
That may be the case, but new ones are being added, and there are even some Bitcoiners there now.
All the other things you mentioned are just as important. That is why we need a disinflationary economy like Bitcoin could make possible.
Inflationary vs. disinflationary economy

I almost agree Michael, but there are good people at FFF too! :)
