WASHINGTON, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As ethereum, the world's second largest cryptocurrency, dramatically cuts its climate pollution, environmental groups have intensified pressure on bitcoin to meet or beat ethereum's environmental performance. Ethereum's long-awaited "merge" to a proof of stake consensus mechanism uses 99.95 percent less energy, leaving bitcoin as the largest cryptocurrency using the outmoded high-energy proof of work consensus mechanism.

Key Points:

Ethereum has shown it's possible to switch to an energy-efficient protocol with far less climate, air and water pollution.
Bitcoin has become the outlier, defiantly refusing to accept its climate responsibility," said Michael Brune, director of the "Change the Code, Not the Climate" campaign.
President Biden signed an executive order in March that highlighted the connection between cryptocurrency mining and the climate crisis.
"If ethereum can change its code to cut air pollution and climate disruption, why can't bitcoin?

VANCOUVER, B.C., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group – Bitcoin (BTC) or Dogecoin (DOGE)? Which cryptocurrency will prevail and be embraced as the "currency of the internet and the people"? This question recently caused a brief but intense spat between a pair of Silicon Valley giants: Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) and CEO of Block, Inc. (NYSE:SQ), and Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD). Dogecoin has surged over the last two years in popularity and mindshare, to knock at the door of #2 cryptocurrency Ethereum. Soon after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk began making a serious play to acquire Twitter, DOGE prices shifted, causing Forbes to infer Dogecoin as a 'Proxy for Twitter Stock'. As the debate rages onward, cryptomining specialists have benefitted such as Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (TSXV:NDA) (OTC:NPPTF), and Hello Pal International Inc. (CSE:HP) (OTCQB:HLLPF) which recently combine its crypto mining capabilities with its successful video livestreaming and matching businesses.

Key Points:

Dogecoin has surged over the last two years in popularity and mindshare , to knock at the door of #2 cryptocurrency Ethereum.
"We expect these apps to be very synergistic to our current livestreaming and crypto-mining operations," said KL Wong, Founder and Chairman of Hello Pal.
First to launch will be DoggeChat, before DogeChat is launched at a later date, using the same user pool.
His company is set to work with cryptocurrency storage company Blockstream to construct a solar-powered BTC mining facility in Texas.
