While Europe introduces the idea of blockchain environmental scores, Ethereum uses 99.99% less energy than they did before the merge. These factors together could further misconstrue Bitcoin's narrative with energy. Bitcoin Proof-of-Work (PoW) computational effort is highly unlikely to ever change in regard to it's energy intensive PoW mining. Bitcoin could receive a very poor environmentally rating in comparison to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains such as Ethereum or Solana. 

William Szamosszegi specializes in Bitcoin mining under 100% Green Powered Facilities. Will breaks down the relationship Bitcoin has with energy, and why the PoW algorithm is not only beneficial, but also how it has potential to become Carbon Negative. Will is highly articulate with a burning fire passion for Bitcoin.

Though the entire cryptocurrency space is battling a vicious bear market, it held steady after another U.S. interest rate hike of 75 basis points. Some believe we are in a relief rally before we test new lows. Others are permanently bullish on digital assets.

Every 10 minutes, another block is forever embedded into the immutable blockchain that is Bitcoin. This makes the network more secure as it becomes more difficult and expensive to compromise. In 2014, author Phil Champagne decided somebody should compile the great words written by the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

On this episode 67 of The Halving Report, Phil Champagne answers questions around the vision of Satoshi, and what we know about the mysterious cryptographer.
