Overview

Bitcoin has been accused of “boiling the oceans”, being a waste of energy and an “ecological catastrophe”.

Cayle Sharrock will explain how this is not only false, but how in many ways the opposite is true. Bitcoin has a major role to play in making energy markets more efficient, and with more efficiency comes less waste.
