The Environmental Impact of Bitcoin | Bitcoin Infographic
Here at CasinosBlockchain, we believe in responsible entertainment. For Bitcoin gamblers, that means playing safely and within their limits, but we also feel that we should reflect on the environmental impact of the coins we use.
The discussion about the environmental impact of cryptocurrencies – and Bitcoin, specifically – isn’t new, but recent remarks by none other than Elon Musk have given some more notoriety to the issue.
As with most hot topics out there, opinions are split: some, like Musk, show concern about Bitcoin’s high energy requirements. Others, like Ethereum’s founders, look for solutions that could lower those power costs.
There is no clear consensus, and most of the information out there is dispersed. That’s why we gathered data from authoritative sources about the environmental impact of Bitcoin and turned it into a helpful infographic.
