May 13, 20214 yr Author 39% of ALL BTC mining is from renewables And a more important question: is the energy usage worth it? Is it worth using electricity to secure the hardest money created to date? Is it worth having uncensored money? Money that cannot be debased?

I wonder how much of it is really him because just 3 weeks ago he agreed with Jack Dorsey on Twitter publicly that Bitcoin mining actually incentivizes and accelerates renewable energy production and innovation

I mean, this happens with the stock market too. Trump temporarily tanked a few stocks with Tweets. It's nothing special.
May 13, 20214 yr The main difference is in the degree of volatility. Otherwise, it's basically SOP for any market sector. We've seen large drops like this before many times on rumors of regulatory pressure. Heck, just look at the drops mrna, bntx, nvax, and cvac all experienced on the waiving IP protections news.
