CALL TO ACTION!
@bitcoinpolicyuk have just submitted our consultation response to the European Securities and Markets Authority on the sustainability credentials of #Bitcoin mining. But now we need YOUR help.
ESMA and the EU are still labouring under the misapprehension that mining undermines our sustainability goals, when in fact the very opposite is true. Please read our submission at the link below, and feel free to quote from and use any of the research we have produced.
Please also read @DSBatten 's post below, and if you can, help out as follows:
Send a draft of 1-5 pages to
@jardemalie or @lyudakozlovska
using succinct objective language and evidence, by THIS FRIDAY 7 DEC or email lyudmylakozlovska@odfoundation.eu
In your submission, highlight:
- why and how Bitcoin can be a net-benefit to the environment
- point out that a framework which only evaluate only negative externalities of a technology is incomplete, unobjective/ unscientific
- DO NOT say "its energy use is justified because", "Other assets use more energy", or debate whether climate change is occurring or use language that personally attacks any one
- DO highlight that every technology initially has a carbon footprint, use evidence to show that emissions are not increasing and that there is a realistic chance Bitcoin can become the first industry to fully mitigate emissions without offsets, point out known limitations in current models, use your own examples of Bitcoin's positive environmental impact that are less well known.
THANK YOU in advance!
