Daniel Batten: Independent research on Bitcoin and energy linked to fewer negative conclusions
Research on Bitcoin tied to fewer negative views

Daniel Batten said that individuals who conduct their own research on Bitcoin and its relationship with energy are only half as likely to reach a negative conclusion. He added that this observation likely applies more generally to personal research on Bitcoin.

Batten has previously argued that pairing Bitcoin mining with carbon credits could make efforts to reduce landfill methane emissions profitable, according to a recent article. He also noted that about 15 million people live near landfills, highlighting related health risks and environmental concerns in a separate report. His comments have focused on the potential environmental impact of Bitcoin mining.
