Nic Carter joined several others on a panel at Bitcoin 2022 last week and really hit home some key issues regarding Bitcoin’s energy criticism:

Nic Carter, partner at Castle Island Ventures and perhaps the best known defender of Bitcoin’s energy usage, was joined by founder of Core Scientific Darin Feinstein; Stephen Barbour, president of Upstream Data Inc.; Head of Mining at Galaxy Digital Amanda Fabiano; and MacKenzie Sigalos, a CNBC technology reporter.

Feinstein explained how information has been coming out that disparages Bitcoin mining, referencing two articles.

“The articles were written by WEF and Newsweek,” Feinstein explained. “Coincidentally, [they] came up with the same math, and the math was, by 2020, the Bitcoin network will consume all of the world’s energy.”

This turned out to not be true.
