In an X thread on Saturday, Batten said there are nine common criticisms of Bitcoin mining’s energy use that can be debunked by real-world data.
“Every nascent disruptive technology is accompanied by claims that are based on lack of understanding, lack of data, and a fear of something unknown,” said Batten.
