Bitcoin is green technology – CoinGeek

Bitcoin is green technology – CoinGeek
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


It’s true! Ecological catastrophes, systemic pollution and the inefficiencies that create them are a major problem. People obviously do not want to live amid a toxic wasteland, and the quality of human life gets better relative to the cleanliness of the ecosystem in which they live. If the world became too toxic, we could not live, and that would be… well… bad.  

However, the benefits of industry have been a net positive for humanity as a whole; creating efficiency in the ways we eat, sleep, travel and grow as a species. Due to industrial processes, we are much more able to focus on arts, culture, charity, and civics. Industry has solved most of the globe’s basic needs, and continues to do so with greater efficiency in places where freedom flourishes. 

So, a return to non-systematic, pre-industrial agrarianism is a romantic idea in some ways, but is ultimately undesirable because too much of the world would starve to death, and the other costs would largely outweigh the benefits. However, in the face of the bull run and NFT boom, environmentalist activists have once again targeted Bitcoin’s industrial infrastructure for criticism based on the assumption that proof of work for building blocks is a waste of electricity.

Is Bitcoin a wasteful use of energy? 

Of course not! Every system has financial and ecological costs, but how many systems are measuring practical ROI? 

People focus on Bitcoin’s consumption, but not Visa’s, for example. Have you considered what Bitcoin can create per kilowatt compared to what the centralized economy can do with the same kilowatt? All systems have consumption which is repurposed in the attempt to create extra value so that efficiencies can be sold to the world in order to make profit. But the real question should be if there’s more profit to be made by using Bitcoin as a tool for efficiency rather than other existing solutions. 

The Bitcoin protocol is already more efficient than Visa at a very fundamental level, so why aren’t we measuring Bitcoin’s value per kilowatt? The reason is that BTC is the most well-known implementation of a Bitcoin-style network, and obsolete protocols like Ethereum take up the rest of the mental bandwidth of the blockchain economy. Both networks are massively (and arbitrarily) inefficient, but they are popular due to the asymmetry in information available in the market. 

But that is a side note because the current mainstream economy relies on massive data centers that are incredibly power hungry too. They function as a product of the indirect incentives to maintain internet infrastructure as the backbone of the modern economy, and they use power which people just accept as a baseline to maintain their standard of living. They do this because electricity consumption relative to economic output is extremely difficult to measure, and the incentive to be “greener” is something of a mixed bag.

Since the metrics are all wrapped up in complicated math, they are easily forgotten!

How is Bitcoin green?

Before computers, power consumption relative to overall profit was considered a fixed cost because it was difficult to change and even more difficult to measure precisely. So a business plan may only consist of estimated costs versus estimated revenue, and entrepreneurs would attempt to balance them out to make some profits. If things worked, business chugged along, but the incentive to increase something like power efficiency wasn’t really perceivable for industrial consumers who were innately competitive, but not often cooperative. Before Bitcoin, most industries only had marginal incentives to cooperate with their competitors at all without layers of inefficient bureaucracy getting in the way. 

Bitcoin changed this. For the first time in world history, the best competitor would be held in perfect balance with his ability to be the best cooperator, while also having a direct and calculable incentive to find proximity to the…
