The topic of bitcoin is falling into individualities and perhaps the one that has the most tendency is El-On Musk, we must not forget that every time bitcoin is mentioned and Tesla or El-On Musk is added, the big winner is El- On, nowadays it is not only necessary to say that it manipulates the market but that when this manipulation works or not, there is a commercial use, it is free advertising.

Check out who are the people who always mention the Bitcoin issue in relation to El-on Musk and green energy, there is still no true "influencer" other than El-On Musk himself.

As for that appointment, as it is the most logical sense for not only technologies like bitcoin but any other, we must reduce the consumption of traditional energy sources and place or strengthen alternative energy sources, green energies.

I don't think so, mining consumes a lot of electricity, how is that green in the most fundamental of the things in concern and also what needs to be done is for the energy source for electricity to be replaced because they are the biggest contributor to climate change and global warming, with fossil fuels gone and more renewable and innovated nuclear technology used as energy source, that's the only time we are going to get a green energy not more bitcoin mining. On a side note, this senators and lawmakers should stop accepting bribes/lobbying from this evil fossil fuel companies or any corporations for that matter, it's not on the interest of the public that they are doing this.

He's probably just using Bitcoin as an example of high electricity usage that might be a reason for the US to use green energy. It's kind of a bad example IMO but since Bitcoin electricity usage is a hot topic right now because of Elon Musk, that's probably the reason.

Oh a response to the tweet that Elon made a few weeks ago, this kinda makes the market grow one time or another. But the price still loses a great amount of percentage since he tweets that "energy thing about bitcoin". everyone is still simply waiting for the right timing because you never really know where the last price will be before it rises again. Anyway, tweets like this are one of the indications that they will gonna return to invest again but the at the same time, people need to be aware that they are only saying those words to push the price up to its peak again.

I think his statement is in line with some previous considerations that boil down to cryptocurrency mining and dirty energy sources in addition to the ever-current thesis that China actually controls Bitcoin. Given the attitude of the US towards China, which has been in force for several years - everything that China controls in any way is not good and threatens the US as still the world's leading power.

If the US took the lead in mining, manufacturing mining devices and strictly controlling the energy sources needed for mining - maybe Bitcoin would become more accepted and legitimate in their eyes. Of course, this is bad for decentralization, because the excessive power of any country again leads to the same problem we have now - and these stories about green energy are exaggerated anyway, because all relevant research shows that Bitcoin mining already uses much renewable energy which is measured in only 0.2% of the total annual electricity consumption in the world.

This agenda is therefore completely malicious, because if we want to change the world for the better - shouldn't we start with the things that do it the most harm - and Bitcoin is at the very bottom of that scale.

I am not a fan of Changpeng Zao but his tweet makes sense. The hype from Tesla and recent FUD relates to energy consumed by Bitcoin network is non sense. Most of energy used by Bitcoin mining farms are renewable.

The problem is that the mainstream media do what their masters tell them to do, and most of these media outlets are actually owned by only a few large global corporations that promote their agendas globally through them. If you and I know what is true, it doesn't make much sense if these media are constantly spreading lies that then become true in people's minds - because if you hear or read something a hundred times, you will hardly suspect that it is not true.

Solid facts that have been scientifically proven must therefore be presented through social networks or independent media, but also by each of us educating at least one person who will then be able to educate others. It is unfortunately a slow process, but if we remain silent it means that we agree with what appears in the media every day - an agenda that says "if you use Bitcoin, you will remain in the dark".

It is interesting how right wing republicans like Warren Davidson. Right wing states like florida and texas. Trend towards being pro bitcoin and pro cryptocurrency. Texas is currently constructing new wind farms with new crypto mining operations lining up to be powered by them. Earlier this year florida announced it would recognize bitcoin as a legal currency.

Left wing nations like china, left wing states like new york and left wing democrats like Joe Biden. Trend towards the opposite. I think new york outright blocked financial institutions in the state from buying or selling tether and stablecoins. New york is known for having anti crypto regulation in place. Joe Biden announced many harsh penalties for crypto after assuming the Presidency, including capital gains hikes.

I wonder if people are interested in right vs left talking points relating to crypto. Could these observations be consistent over time.

I totally agree with him, but problem is that people are listening mainstream point of view that is twisted toward big tech, central banks with global agendas and often times anti-Bitcoin.
Solution is to turn of all your useless TV devices and save more energy than ever.

Everything looks better in Florida and Texas because there is obviously more freedom than in other states and not just regarding Bitcoin but they don't have any corona restrictions and mandates, people can normally go to sport and other events without face diapers.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis was very important for this but people also complained and wanted more freedom, that is showing us how politicians are nothing without the people.
More corrupt politicians are, more they dislike Bitcoin and there are more than one reason for that, but main one is they don't have control over Bitcoin.

I feel like this whole talk and attack on the bitcoin mining is just some wierd conspiracy theroy, the energy consumed by the bitcoin mining is barely anything compared to some other useless things that consume more and has no value, because if you think about it the only party that is going to be affected significantly by it is china since they have most of the mining power, plus i feel like tesla is setting things up for a big move where they either create their own crypto or premote thier battery/energy production in the future.
