Environment Impact of BTC
Hi all, just wanted to provide the information that I've used to respond to friends and family and (mostly) co-workers about the actual comparison between BTC energy consumption and carbon footprint to that of traditional financial institutions. I don't think anyone here needs convincing, but if this helps anyone else to have the facts, I wanted to get them out there.
