BITCOIN
HAS
USED
MORE
ELECTRICITY
THAN
SWEDEN.

And it’s quickly surpassing more countries, according to the 
University of Cambridge
. Unless its price is decoupled from its energy use, Bitcoin will drive
devastating climate impacts.

According to the International Energy Association, coal-fired electricity

Switching to a low-energy protocol has proven effective and uses far less
energy. Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, has
already changed
its code system to reduce its energy usage by 99.95%.

CUT
THE
POLLUTION
AND
THE
EXCUSES

On September 15, 2022, Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, slashed its
electricity use by 99.95%, proving that a code change is technically and
politically possible. Ethereum's Merge leaves Bitcoin as the largest
cryptocurrency climate polluter. It doesn't have to be this way.

Our Vision

We know the problem. Bitcoin uses an outdated technology called proof-of-work to
validate transactions. This proof-of-work method, at least as it currently
operates, uses massive amounts of energy, and thus is a huge source of climate
pollution. As Bitcoin's price surges, so, too does its energy use.

We know Bitcoin stakeholders are incentivized not to change. Changing Bitcoin
would render a whole lot of expensive infrastructure worthless, meaning Bitcoin
stakeholders will need to walk away from sunk costs — or find other creative
solutions.

We know the crypto community is overwhelmingly motivated by a sense of progress,
fairness, and good intentions. Many advocates are vocal about addressing climate
change. The dream of so many early crypto innovators is within reach — but only
if the industry gets serious about crypto that runs on low energy.

We know a basic software code change would reduce Bitcoin’s energy use by
99.9%. If only 30 people — the key miners, exchanges, and core developers who
build and contribute to Bitcoin’s code — agreed to reinvent proof-of-work mining
or move to a low-energy protocol, Bitcoin would stop polluting the planet. So
why isn’t Bitcoin changing its code?

We know who wields influence over the crypto community, from big tech to big
banks. Leaders like Elon Musk of Tesla, Jack Dorsey of Block, and Abby Johnson
of Fidelity have vested interests in Bitcoin — and the power to affect change.
BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, PayPal and many others have a responsibility to help
Clean Up Bitcoin.


WE CALL ON LEADERS IN TECH
AND FINANCE TO USE THEIR
POWER TO STOP BITCOIN
FROM WASTING OURS.
