The Bitcoin Series - Part 9: Bitcoin and the Environment Coexist? Energy, sustainability, and the climate.
In this episode, we dive into one of the most controversial debates in the Bitcoin world: energy. Is Bitcoin’s proof-of-work model a dangerous climate liability — or a misunderstood feature that could actually accelerate the renewable transition?
We explore:
- Whether Bitcoin's energy use is wasteful or purposeful
- How it compares to emissions from traditional banking and military systems
- Real-world examples of Bitcoin mining helping fund clean energy in Texas, El Salvador, and beyond
Spoiler: it’s not as simple as “good” or “bad.” This is a story about tradeoffs, transformation, and the fight for a sustainable future.
Energy, climate, freedom — can they work together?
Stay curious. Stay grounded. Let’s build better.
