summary

Argues Bitcoin mining can reduce emissions by monetizing wasted energy: miners run on vented methane from landfills and flare stacks and curtailed solar/wind, examples include Vespine Energy and a pig‑farm digester powering rigs; methane is cited as ~84× CO2 over 20 years and combusting it cuts warming. Notes miners seek the cheapest electricity, ~900 BTC are minted daily, and mining is time/location agnostic. Proposes holders do the same percentage of mining as they own of Bitcoin; claims ~1/30th hashing on methane could net carbon‑neutral network.
