The Bitcoin Mining Council held its formal premiere on Thursday amid growing controversy over the amount of energy used in cryptocurrencies.
“Bitcoin Mining Council is a voluntary and open forum of Bitcoin miners committed to the network and its core principles,” wrote Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy Inc., who helped form the association on Twitter. He added, “Join us,” along with an emoji of prayer hands.
Saylor, as buying Bitcoin has become the business strategy of the company’s software manufacturer, sought to allay concerns about energy use, citing reasons why Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc., stopped accepting Bitcoin as a payment for the company’s cars. Later, Musk expressed his support for the group.
Elon Musk became the target of a famous hacker group
Elon Musk, with his statements through posts on Twitter, manages to influence the bitcoin rate in the world and it is he who is involved in the fact that some of the cryptocurrency market players went bankrupt by believing in him. The time has come to answer him for this. So the eminent hacker group Anonymous decided, declaring war on the head of Tesla.
In addition, the hackers told through a video that they posted on the network that they are going to war against Elon Musk. In it, they stated that Elon Musk’s games and his influence on the cryptocurrency market had gone too far. He behaves arrogantly and plays too much. Hackers believe that Elon Musk has a superiority complex; and as a confirmation of his words, they recalled that he once called himself the “Emperor of Mars”.
To assuage critics, Elon Musk and Michael Saylor announced late last month that Bitcoin miners in North America had agreed to form the Bitcoin Mining Council.

(Bloomberg Opinion) Bitcoin uses a lot of electricity. So do electric cars, space travel and civilization in general, but few things burn energy so shamelessly.
