RE: I'll Be Interviewing Dan Larimer Later This Week!

in #steemit7 years ago

Hey man, this is awesome news. One of my heroes for sure.

Would you consider asking him about the energy implications for blockchain technology and to especially elaborate on what I believe are extraordinarily energy-efficient platforms that he has built?

Bitcoin is a huge energy hog and could really (further) threaten our existence via carbon emissions and contributing to climate change. As someone who sees the potential in blockchain to really revolutionize and decentralize all systems, I am concerned about the energy-use aspect.

I would so greatly appreciate this Josh. I believe this is a key talking point to move things towards greater adoption. Like, if everyone started using Bitcoin, it would literally fry the planet. If @Dan has thoughts on this and any data to support it, I think that it would go a long way. It would certainly help me to have another clear talking point as I spread the word about this amazing technology.

Thanks so much!
