They are asked ALL THE TIME. There is a huge transition into carbon neutral investing. We report carbon emissions at *portfolio* level so individual clients can see exactly what the impact of their investment is. We’re probably a market leader (we are already carbon neutral) but sustainability and investment is probably the biggest topic within the industry and has been for the last 5-10 years.

I watch cnbc and bloomberg a lot, these questions aren't asked anywhere near to the extent that they're asked about bitcoin.

Also, Gold and Silver Mining is a dirty business that pollutes the environment in a way that is just unsustainable.

I’m talking about within the industry I suppose but it’s easily the number one topic. Easily.

It's also weird that there's no consideration of the environmental damage caused by FIAT.

As for Tesla, all that environmental damage caused by their batteries.

If Elon really did give a damn about the environment then he wouldn't be manufacturing any cars until batteries could be made that had absolutely no detrimental impact on the environment.

There's no way that you'll ever convince me that the actual process of gold and silver mining is not damaging the environment.

absolutely disgusting the damage by metal miners on the environment,
wrecking rainforests and polluting rivers!

There is but you have to consider it from a cost benefit perspective. At the moment the banking system alone serves billions of people v something like 100m for crypto and energy consumption comparison between the two isn’t to that scale at all.

Where have I tried to do that? Are you having a different argument? You said it wasn’t talked about, i said it was the number one topic in the within the financial services industry.

I agree on miners completely.

My bad.

As I say, I watch the popular financial shows and no way is it ever discussed as much as BTC.

That said, there's far more scope for BTC miners to improve their energy efficiency, getting it down to zero, as the serious ones have done already. Hopefully others will follow.

Anyway, I'm taking a week off from stocks and crypto and stuff. By which time Ethereum will be worth $5000.

I think it’s just that bitcoin is new. Miners have been talked about in that way for years and years so it’s old news.

Whereas people are looking at bitcoin with some skepticism and it’s getting a lot of press in general. It’ll calm down as things become more ‘normalised’.

That being said, efficiency and scale (and the energy consumption ramifications) are one of the reasons I feel that BTC will have a headwind relative to other crypto and I wonder whether ultimately it might be superseded as a result.

Without giving 'advice' per se, anyone in BTC right now should keep their eyes on the market this coming week.

Written on sunday...

Thought it would either break $60k or drop like a stone...its done the latter.

Very hard to predict this 'media driven' product.

Bought the dip,thanks Elon.
Short term volitility equals long term gains!

 

[Paris]

If you buy a Tesla then you deserve all the problems that you will inevitably get. Elon is a con artist.

He also twitted on April 22 in response to jack Dorsey that he understands how bitcoin mining works in regards to electricity.
He's probably crashing the market so he can buy it cheaper or maybe he's buying dog face coin,cum rocket or some other crap!
There's also rumours Tesla are bringing an renewable energy btc mining rig out!
Starting to get bored of him now!

it’s because BTC mining is a Rube Goldberg exercise
