Bitcoin environmentalist Daniel Batton criticized the methods used by Digiconomist founder Alex de Vries to assess Bitcoin’s environmental impact.
Bitcoin environmentalist Daniel Batten claims a “single commentary” in 2018 from Alex de Vries, the founder of Digiconomist, has been the cause of “all junk science on Bitcoin’s environmental impact” over the years.
“We found patient zero,” Batten said in the Dec. 12 X thread.
While Batten didn’t point to the exact commentary, he has previously criticized a May 2018 report from de Vries titled “Bitcoin’s Growing Energy Problem.”
Digiconomist is a platform “dedicated to exposing the unintended consequences of digital trends.”
