'Change the code, not the climate': New campaign launched to make Bitcoin eco-friendly

Bitcoin mining is one of the biggest issues that concern many environmentalists as it requires a huge amount of energy and with the transition of Ethereum to Proof of Stake (PoS), people are wondering if the world's biggest cryptocurrency needs a change too. In the light of this topic, Ripple co-founder and executive chairman Chris Larsen and Greenpeace have launched a new campaign.

Campaign to make Bitcoin eco-friendly

Bitcoin mining rigs are known to use excessive energy, evident from the recent power outages in Kazakhstan, which became the third biggest BTC mining zone. On the other hand, the campaign launched by Chris Larsen and Greenpeace aims to cut off the energy used by the process of mining by 99.9%.
If only 30 people — the key miners, exchanges, and core developers who build and contribute to Bitcoin’s code — agreed to reinvent proof-of-work mining or move to a low-energy protocol, Bitcoin would stop polluting the planet. So why isn’t Bitcoin changing its code?
Citing the example of Ethereum, the official campaign calls forth all the major backers of Bitcoin, the world's first and biggest cryptocurrency with a market cap of 905 billion USD, to replace the energy-expensive proof-of-work with a cleaner alternative like proof-of-work.

The campaign also points out the fact that many people in the crypto community are overwhelmingly "motivated by a sense of progress, fairness, and good intentions" and want much cleaner alternatives to Bitcoin mining which uses Proof of Work which the campaign calls "outdated."

ETH 2.0 approaches

The Merge will be responsible for merging the beacon chain which follows proof-of-stake and the mainnet of Ethereum, confirming the successful transition from ETH to ETH 2.0. This will confirm that there will not be any need to mine ETH but staking will be the new way to go. As a result, when compared to Bitcoin, ETH 2.0 will be cleaner in terms of environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
