Cryptocurrency crash reducing CO₂ emissions

Software

Here’s some great news from Digiconomist, even if the projection is optimistic:

As the Bitcoin/Ethereum crash continues, the combined reduction in energy consumption of these networks now equals that of a country like Austria

The reduction in global carbon emissions could be 110,000 metric tons of CO2 per day - almost as much as global CO2 reductions by EVs.

Let’s make efficiency a metric again.
