Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy has again defended bitcoin, backing arguments that the environmental impact of the world's largest cryptocurrency is not as dangerous as it has been reported. He commented on a recent Twitter thread from Sangha Systems director Daniel Feldman describing a “symbiotic relationship” between bitcoin mining and renewable energy, calling it an “interesting argument.” At the very least, environmental concerns should not be used as a smokescreen to limit freedom of trade, he added. Feldman emphasized that, contrary to media reports, bitcoin mining is “the solution to improving the grid and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.”
