Ask HN: Are the environmental concerns around Bitcoin serious?
2 by dinobones | 1 comments on Hacker News.
HackerNews is the first place I’ve heard about this, every time Bitcoin is mentioned someone will say it uses as much energy as 1/10th of the world’s concrete production and therefore it is destroying the environment. I’ve only ever seen this view on HackerNews and some parts of Twitter. It’s interesting to me because Bitcoin seems very much like a “hacker” topic that HN would generally like. So how and why did opinions change? Every time Bitcoin is mentioned, every reply is someone very angrily posting about environmental concerns.
