This is the sort of article that can lose a media publication's credibility. Fast.
In a truly embarassing effort from Switzerland's public broadcaster @swissinfo_en just claimed a long-debunked claim that "Bitcoin emits a lot of energy per transaction"
For the record, no it doesn't. Bitcoin resource use comes through mining, not transactions (getting this wrong is a rookie error). It was debunked 4 times in peer reviewed papers (Masanet et al, 2019, Dittmar et al. 2019, Sedlmeir et al, 2020, and Sai and Vraken, 2023.)
That's why no reputable mainstream media companies make this claim any more.
Oops.
Imagine having done so little research on your article that you
a. didn't know that
b. didn't know that all your peers in the media except you already know that
But the Swiss article gets worse. The author mentioned none of the actual contemporary research on Bitcoin, appearing to have no awareness that since 2021 there have been 30 peer reviewed articles (source: x.com/DSBatten/statu…) showing that Bitcoin is not only not a big emitter, but it is a genuine solution to ending the era of big emissions by:
- Accelerating renewable energy transition (16 papers)
- Monetizing wasted renewable energy (14 paper)
- Obviating flaring, landfill gas emissions, or gas peaker plants (3 papers)
Finally, the article references its own previous copy, an article from 31 May 2025 quoting the non-peer reviewed hobby blog Digiconomist (which Wikipedia expressly states is not a reputable source), authored by Dutch Central Banker Alex de Vries, whose work on Bitcoin Mining was debunked in 2023 (Sai and Vranken)
Source: #br0070" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
So in summary, what can we objectively say is true about this article on Bitcoin's environmental impact from @swissinfo_es. They have
1. Not acknowledged 30 peer reviewed papers which contradict their thesis
2. Referenced the hobby blog from an author whose work's academic merits are disputed (to say the least)
3. stated the flawed "per transaction" metric which has been debunked 4 times in academic work
Irrespective of your opinion on Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining, this is not a great look for Swissinfo.
Rather, it is misinformation against a technology that has been established in multiple academic journals, by energy experts, grid operators and renewable energy generators as being an important part of the UNSDGs and environmental action.
in short: the sort of article that establishes a news outlet as not a reliable source
Do better @swissinfo_jp @swissinfo_fr @swissinfo_de

@ICOffenderII @PeterSchiff Indeed, as with every computational framework, our journey begins with an implicit faith in the foundational truth table. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_tab…
English

@PeterSchiff The parameter "...that even if Bitcoin crashes to $1,000..." is the sum of "0" and "$1000" choices which means 59% + 14% = 73% and not "Almost 60% of..." that you wrote. Once again you're wrong.
English

The results are in. Almost 60% of Bitcoiners believe that even if Bitcoin crashes to $1,000, a more than 99% decline, wiping out almost all Bitcoin investors, bankrupting $MSTR, and devastating the entire crypto industry, I’m still wrong. That’s not rational. That’s a cult.

How low does Bitcoin’s price have to fall before you Bitcoiners concede that I’ve been right all along?

@valigo Bitcoin uses a scripting system for transactions. Forth-like, Script is simple, stack-based, and processed from left to right. It is intentionally not Turing-complete, with no loops.

@BBCNews Reminds me of the demands for backdoor access to Apple's encrypted iCloud data. Although governments often propose legislation to protect the vulnerable, sometimes their true aim is broader control over individuals and the population.
