Global Finances Daily and 20+ other online media channels now asking
“Will Greenpeace change its mind on bitcoin now?”

Another small win
While we are not yet getting our data picked up in major news publications, it’s increasingly getting picked up in investor media.
The equation to take Bitcoin emission negative:
218 MW vented landfill gas
54 mid-sized landfills
365M infrastructure funding
The formula is dynamic based on real-time changes in network hashrate/energy source/ energy usage and ASICS price in $/TH
And the major energy powering Bitcoin mining is ….
HYDRO !
(23%)
Putting this up on Nostr first

A good balanced account of the #skullofsatoshi chapter of Bitcoin’s history as it stands so far.
I recently talked to Greenpeace about Bitcoin (not the US branch)
Here’s how it went
“The revolution will not be televized brother. The revolution will be live”

One of my favorite Bitcoin moments of the year.
Eco-warrior magazine One Green Planet comes out with a positive review of Bitcoin mining
https://www.onegreenplanet.org/environment/shining-light-on-the-sustainable-side-of-bitcoin-mining/
This is how the skull of Satoshi is being reported in mainstream media
Not the result GreenpeaceUSA were going for

This is a truth-pump I often use for people who have swallowed misinformation on Bitcoin’s environmental impact from GreenpeaceUSA and friends
Did you know that bitcoin mining is the highest user of sustainable energy in the world? (53%)
Did you know that every year it uses 6.2% more sustainable energy?
Did you know that when it comes to measuring environmental impact - energy consumption is a misleading metric (because if the consumer of energy uses a lot of renewable energy and is flexible enough to use green energy that would have been wasted, more energy use actually helps with the renewable transition). The right metric is emissions?
Did you know that Bitcoin, like eVs is fully electrified so has no scope1 emissions ?
Sis you know that most of the mainstream news articles published on bitcoin’s environmental impact this year have been positive write ups? (Including one environmental magazine)?
Did you know there are a growing number of environmentalists, climate activists and climatetech investors who are backing bitcoin because of its unique ability to help reduce methane emissions from landfills, find a home for new renewable energy on the grid and then stabilise the intermittency of those renewable sources?
And most importantly did you know that if Bitcoin used proof of stake, it would not be able to offer any of these environmental benefits?
Bitcoin is like solar in the 90s. Some environmentalists are against it because of its past footprint but a growing number of environmentalists are in favor of it because of its future

Yes we are all here
Follow them both on Nostr. They were instrumental in bringing the artist into open dialog.
Another spectacular backfire from GreenpeaceUSA
One day they will learn: don’t attack a honey badger
I don’t know why. Why did goods quality drop at this time?
Invite him to join nostr
Another round of FUD from GreenpeaceUSA about Bitcoin
Another spectacular backfire.
Here’s a reminder of how well it harmed Greenpeace and galvanised Bitcoiners last time

I compiled the data (168.35 MW flared methane) and did the calculations (now 1.9 Mt CO2e mitigated per year).
The methodology and source is here

Willy did the conversion of data into chart form.
Willy was also the reason we had dynamic charts with a backtrace in the first place, because he encouraged me to dig into the historic data so we had charitable information rather than just a one time current update.
