🌊💧BBC recently published an article claiming that every Bitcoin transaction consumes a backyard swimming pool's worth of water, and BTC enthusiasts are not happy! Critics argue that the study cited by BBC is based on "junk science" and has glaring issues. For one, the study's author, Alex de Vries, has a history of inaccurate predictions about Bitcoin's energy consumption and climate impact. Moreover, the claim that Bitcoin consumes energy on a per-transaction basis is flawed, as the energy consumption is actually based on miners using the network to earn BTC. Despite the bad press, recent estimates show that Bitcoin mining has a >50% green energy mix worldwide, more than virtually any other industry on the planet. So, Bitcoiners, keep calm and carry on! 🌍💚
