Greenpeace USA has caused controversy in the Bitcoin community once again with its latest anti-Bitcoin campaign. The environmental advocacy group projected images onto buildings in New York City to draw attention to the climate impact of Bitcoin investments by major financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and BlackRock. The projections showed the CEOs of Blackrock and Chase with red laser eyes, a characteristic of Bitcoin maximalist profile images, and labeled Bitcoin as a "climate bomb" due to its energy consumption from fossil fuels. The Bitcoin community defended its energy consumption, but Greenpeace cited a recent report on significant losses due to crypto hacks and advocated for a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism through its campaign "Change the Code, Not the Climate."
