Moritz Schmidt recently donated more than one million euros to Europe’s Green Party in the hope that they will become powerful enough to ban bitcoin and crypto mining in the future. Schmidt Suddenly Doesn’t Care for BTC Schmidt is a confusing figure in the sense that at one point, he made quite a bit of money earning and trading BTC. He...

Ripple co-creator Chris Larsen believes that unless bitcoin changes itself to be more environmentally friendly, all hope for the world’s largest and most popular digital currency is lost. Chris Larsen: BTC Needs to Change Modules Bitcoin has been taking a lot of guff in recent weeks given that its constant price increases have led to boosts in energy usage for crypto miners.
