Summary
It’s the biggest criticism leveled against Bitcoin, but what if it’s completely wrong? This video makes the bold case for How Bitcoin Mining Can Solve Climate Change. William Szamosszegi, CEO of the renewable energy mining company Sazmining, presents a powerful, counter-intuitive argument that flips the mainstream narrative on its head. You'll learn how Proof of Work creates a "capitalist incentive" to capture methane pollution (which is 84x worse than CO2), why he believes Ethereum's celebrated "green" update was a "huge mistake" for the environment, and how the entire Bitcoin network is on a path to becoming carbon negative.
