How Bitcoin Helps Mitigate Climate Change with Harald Rauter

SHOW NOTES:
https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/how-bitcoin-helps-mitigate-climate-change

Harald Rauter is an environmentalist and Bitcoiner. In this interview, we discuss how UN climate change action is predicated on socio-economic scenarios that no longer apply (i.e. a cooperative world with improving equality), and how Bitcoin’s trustless market-based support for the energy transition could be the solution.

****

“Can we run the same models, but with better data? Can we get to a 1.5-degree world? And that’s the ultimate nuclear argument for how Bitcoin mining actually makes sense…where does it make sense to engage with policymakers, to actually build on their language, with their models, rerunning it but with Bitcoin mining, and Bitcoin in the various dimensions as the X factor in the equation.”
— Herald Rauter
