According to a World Economic Forum (WEF) tweet, a “change in the way bitcoin is coded could almost eliminate its environmental impact.” That statement stems from a tweet the WEF published on April 26, with an accompanying video that claims “miners could stake their own bitcoins to verify transactions.”
You’ve heard Bitcoin fuels the climate crisis, but did you know a software code change could clean it up.
A simple “basic change in coding” could eliminate “most of the network’s energy demands at a stroke,” the video says. WEF’s video mentions the Greenpeace-led ‘Change the Code’ effort and the campaigners who believe the controversial idea is possible.
Adam, I don’t think they are confused. I think they know exactly what the f*** they are doing. It’s a calculated, well-orchestrated attack on bitcoin.
Back noted that either way the WEF’s arguments are “economically confused” and the statements “should be scientifically debunked for that reason.”
