On this day 15 years ago, #Bitcoin was inflicted on the world.
3 and a half weeks later Hal Finney, one of the first people to receive bitcoin in a transaction, tweets:
"Thinking about how to reduce CO2 emissions from a widespread Bitcoin implementation"

It was known from day one that bitcoin was #climate arson, let no one pretend otherwise.
Today, Bitcoin consumes as much energy as Pakistan, a country of over 225 million people, a total disgrace.
@divclassbutton it's not that #Bitcoin consumes as much energy; it's that people experience so much value from Bitcoin that they're willing to pay that much in energy to participate.
Bitcoin itself can run on a car battery on a Raspberry Pi if it needed to.
In the end users decide for themselves that they want to pay extra to acquire it, because it's worth it to them.
