The co-founder also highlighted that the emissions of the Bitcoin network will remain unchanged at the end of every 4-year cycle regardless of any growth recorded in BTC’s hash rate, users, and price. In addition to this, he mentioned that this is a feat that no other industry has ever accomplished.

This chart says you can throw any growth metric – hashrate, users, price then double it – and emissions of the Bitcoin network will be the same at the end of any four cycle as they were at the start.

In the third X post, Batten shared that Bitcoin has halved its emissions within just a 4-year period. Furthermore, this enabled the network to have the lowest emission intensity of any major global industry.

In his last X post, the co-founder noted that Bitcoin’s primary energy source is hydro. Subsequently, BTC mining is “not anchored to the 36.7% coal powered global grid.” As a result, it is the only major industry where fossil fuel is not the primary source of power, according to Batten.

Meanwhile, CoinMarketCap data indicated that BTC was changing hands at $26,159.16 at press time. This was after the leading cryptocurrency suffered a 24-hour loss of 1.55%. This negative daily performance also pushed BTC’s weekly performance down to -2.09%.

Despite the negative daily and weekly performances, BTC’s price was still slightly in the green zone on the monthly time frame. At press time, BTC was up 0.16% over the past 30 days. Interestingly, BTC was also a hot topic in the market and occupied the number 3 spot on CoinMarketCap’s trending list. This ranked it behind SOLX and above XRP.
