Bitcoin proponents argued that it was held to an unfair standard, arguing that the vast financial systems that build fiat currencies consume far more resources than cryptocurrencies do.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, in a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@chrislarsensf\/the-cryptocurrency-industry-needs-to-reconsider-proof-of-work-43f91d045920\">blog<\/a> post, addressed climate crisis as a priority. He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Let\u2019s encourage and work with the people who build and contribute to Bitcoin\u2019s code \u2014 the key miners, exchanges, and core developers \u2014 to consider a move away from PoW.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">He addressed the problem in today\u2019s cryptocurrency market. He stated that many newer cryptocurrencies have already low consumers of energy or even carbon-neutral. However, he drew attention to early protocols such as Bitcoin which uses Proof-of-Work (PoW) to validate transactions, which \u201cis not only a huge and growing source of CO2 emissions but also uses massive amounts of energy, both from fossil fuels and green sources. \u201c<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-154893 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM-1024x589.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM-1024x589.png 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM-768x442.png 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Screen-Shot-2021-04-22-at-11.52.07-AM.png 1480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>University of Cambridge <a href=\"https:\/\/cbeci.org\">placed<\/a> Bitcoin\u2019s current annual energy consumption at 130TWh, a continuous draw of 15 gigawatts of electricity. If Bitcoin were a country, its annual energy consumption would place it between the mid-sized countries of Ukraine and Argentina. Tezos network is probably in the range of 60MWh, a continuous draw of perhaps 7 kilowatts.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had also previously<a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/ripple-ceo-lauds-ethereums-forward-thinking-devs-targets-btcs-energy-usage\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\u00a0criticized<\/a> Bitcoin\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/ripples-latest-initiative-may-help-it-boost-enviromental-sustainability\/\">resource-intensive<\/a> mining nature. He <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/crypto\/status\/1377448662398238720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">said,<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As Bitcoin\u2019s price goes up, the energy consumption, the carbon footprint of PoW mining that happens to validate transactions, continues to scale aggressively. 1 Bitcoin transaction is equivalent to 75G of gasoline being burnt.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting, Larsen lauded Ethereum developers\u2019 \u201cforward-looking\u201d approach with respect to the transition to a more power-efficient technology. He further added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today, non-PoW-based coins (including Ethereum\u2019s anticipated switch) made up to 43% of all cryptocurrencies by market cap, and the majority of new cryptocurrencies introduced today chose to eschew PoW. It\u2019s clear which way the trend is moving.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He argued that such a change (Moving away from PoW) was critically important for Bitcoin to remain the world\u2019s dominant cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Major Bitcoin maximalists were actually focused on debunking the myth that the flagship cryptocurrency was damaging to the environment instead of caving in to pressure. Cathie Wood\u2019s asset manager Ark Invest and Jack Dorsey\u2019s digital payments company Square jointly published <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.ctfassets.net\/2d5q1td6cyxq\/5mRjc9X5LTXFFihIlTt7QK\/e7bcba47217b60423a01a357e036105e\/BCEI_White_Paper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a white paper<\/a> about Bitcoin being a major driver of renewable energy.
