Bitcoin is likely consuming 2200 GL of water in 2023. The traditional financial system (bank notes, bank branches, ATMs, cashless transactions) combined consumes close to 1800 GL of water a year. There's no good reason for this amount of waste. greenpeace.org/usa/unveiling-…

The total annual water footprint of US Bitcoin miners could be equivalent to 🏘️ 300,000 US households. 🤯 That's comparable to all of Washington, D.C. Wow. This is why we need banks and financial institutions to back the call to #CleanUpBitcoin. cell.com/cell-reports-s…

🌎 We face the looming threat of a global water crisis, and are well into the middle of a global climate crisis. Bitcoin burns massive amounts of fossil fuels, polluting our air and draining massive amounts of water. Yes we need to #CleanUpBitcoin.

The higher the price, the more incentive there is to ramp up Bitcoin mining. This is why we need to #CleanUpBitcoin and tackle the root cause: an immensely wasteful code.

The fact that a single Bitcoin transaction can use up a whole swimming pool of water tells you all you need to know about its impact on our water system.

A pollution-spewing coal plant scheduled to shut down, now given new life to do #Bitcoin mining. This is terrible news for the people of Indiana, and why we need to value local communities over Bitcoin miner profits. Read this excellent write up: indystar.com/story/news/env…

Total annual water footprint of US #Bitcoin miners could be equivalent to 300,000 US households, comparable to Washington, D.C. What happens when BTC price rises and more mining happens? Even MORE water waste.

The higher the price of Bitcoin, the more incentive there is to ramp up mining. More mining = more air pollution + water waste There is so much potential climate destruction that can be prevented if we #CleanUpBitcoin.

The truth remains the same: the biggest beneficiaries of Bitcoin mines end up being mining companies’ executives, owners and investors who don’t live in the community. 🚩 Local residents are given pollution, strained infrastructure, and higher utility prices.
