###The environmental controversy of Bitcoin and the Satoshi Skull

The founder of a well-known blockchain company recently clarified that his company did not fund the "Change the Code" campaign, launched a few years ago by environmental organizations along with Greenpeace. This campaign aimed to encourage Bitcoin developers to abandon the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus method, known for its high energy consumption.

The entrepreneur explained that he personally supported this initiative, so it should not be considered a corporate action. He also acknowledged that Bitcoin has shown progress in the energy aspect.

###Advances in the use of renewable energies

According to a study from the University of Cambridge, Bitcoin miners are progressively adopting renewable sources such as nuclear and wind, in addition to taking advantage of excess energy from hydroelectric plants and gas that would normally be wasted in combustion.

"In early 2023, when I funded the campaign, I wanted to see if Bitcoin could capture air directly. The campaign didn't work, and that's okay! It's important to clarify: my company did not fund this initiative," the entrepreneur commented on social media.

###The Satoshi Skull as an Environmental Symbol

The installation "Satoshi's Skull" by Greenpeace was created to highlight the environmental risk of Bitcoin's consensus mechanism. This artistic work, composed of electronic waste, cables, and circuit boards, reappeared during the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas and is currently exhibited at the Bitcoin Museum in Nashville.

The entrepreneur sees it positively that the "Caveira de Satoshi" serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental protection and innovation in the crypto ecosystem.

###Debate sobre el futuro energético de Bitcoin

Since 2021, several developers have recommended that Bitcoin migrate to a Proof of Stake consensus algorithm (PoS), arguing that this would significantly reduce the carbon footprint of mining and strengthen Bitcoin's position against other cryptocurrencies.

However, the Bitcoin community has remained steadfast in its defense of PoW, arguing that this mechanism is essential to ensure the security and decentralization of the network. The debate over the environmental impact of Bitcoin continues to be relevant, as innovations aimed at improving its energy efficiency continue to emerge.
