DETROIT – Adrian Grenier, who is an actor most popularly known for his roles in HBO’s The Entourage, Netflix’s Clickbait and the award-winning film The Devil Wears Prada, has attended the recently concluded CoinGeek Conference in New York City as a panelist discussing how to achieve a green Bitcoin.

Grenier is also known as a strong environmental activist and is currently the United Nations Environment Goodwill Ambassador for North America. Through his impact fund DuContra Ventures, Grenier is focusing on four investment verticals: human flourishing, communitas, sustainable consumption and future of finance. The last is where blockchain as a technology that can help improve many industries and facilitate honest commerce comes in.

As Bitcoin is being lambasted because of its unsustainability due to the high energy consumption of Bitcoin mining, the conversation for achieving a green Bitcoin is one that is not only relevant, but crucial to its global adoption.

But first, it is important to clarify that there are currently many different implementations of Bitcoin. And the one being criticized for not being environmentally friendly is BTC. Why? Because of its refusal to scale, its technology is rendered practically useless except as a speculative investment. In this case, its high energy usage is definitely wasted.

However, Grenier has chosen to attend the CoinGeek Conference, which aims to create awareness and educate people about the utility and benefits of the BSV blockchain, a blockchain that can scale unlimitedly; thus, enabling global businesses across all industries to improve their systems and streamline daily processes.

“This is still a new technology that’s improving every day and getting better. And the competition will help it get better even more quickly. But I think people that want to dismiss crypto as being unsustainable don’t fully understand the complexity of the opportunity that crypto has for society across the board. It’s not just about mining efficiency, it’s also about how it’s going to improve every industry,” Grenier said.

BSV is the Bitcoin that goes beyond just payment transactions, becoming technologically relevant to everyone. And this utmost utility is what makes BSV the green Bitcoin—because it more than justifies the high energy consumption as the entire world will serve to benefit from it.

“I think it’s really going to transform media. In my business, like filmmaking [and] communications, it’s going to empower artists to have exchange directly with consumers, get commercialization out of that relationship unless chosen. Even just the social media networks. Like what happening with Facebook, they’re literally selling our data for profit, and we don’t see any of that money. I like to see social media networks that allow both users and content creators have a more autonomous exchange of value,” Grenier pointed out.

The key to achieving a green Bitcoin is scaling. BTC is unsustainable because it simply cannot scale, maintaining the 1MB block size cap and throughput of seven transactions per second (tps) that were just starting points set by Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. BSV, on the other hand, has unlocked unlimited scaling, being able to mine 2GB blocks on its blockchain and having the ability to increase its throughput to over 50,000 tps.

Imagine the same energy consumption, but BTC can only benefit the few who can afford to buy and transact with it, while BSV has the power to be used by the global population. The numbers speak for themselves, and it is obvious which Bitcoin implementation is the sustainable one.
