This year alone, the Bitcoin Network emitted almost 50 million tons of CO2, which is more than many countries in the world. For a technology so revolutionary, the Bitcoin Network is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions (apart from agriculture and industry) in the world.
As more and more blockchains support proof of stake instead of proof of work to avoid the energy-intensive process of mining, the Bitcoin network is falling behind. All told, it remains the most popular and stable cryptocurrency to this day.
Cryptocurrencies Algorand (ALGO) and Big Eyes Coin (BIG) put Bitcoin (BTC) to shame with their eco-friendly features and promotion of ecology conservation.
Algorand is one of the most sustainable blockchains
Algorand is a blockchain like no other. Described as a green blockchain, Algorand is a far more energy efficient blockchain than most on the market. And for the small carbon footprint Algorand creates, it offsets it with a ClimateTrade partnership. This has meant that Algorand has been carbon negative since 2021.
Blockchain founder Silvio Micali told CNBC that the proof-of-state model drives power consumption to near zero because he “cares[s] about the planet”.
Big Eyes Coin has a 5% charity wallet towards oceanic sanctuaries
Big Eyes Coin has flown through the presale stages and has nearly raised $7 million BIG tokens. With figures like $500,000 jumping in one day, Big Eyes Coin highlights an important cause for crypto and eco-preservation.
The idea of Big Eyes is centered around saving the oceans, from conception to manifestation. With a creative narrative about the origin of Big Eyes where the adorable cat discovers the value of the oceans and its ecology, Big Eyes markets itself as a feline who needs to find fish to eat. As the website lovingly puts it, “We also save the oceans to save the fish. So we can eat the fish”.
There are several ways Big Eyes will achieve this goal. The most prominent one is that 5% of all tokens available at launch will be donated to a charity wallet and donated to ocean saving charities. All this is done to produce delicious cat food.
In addition, with the release of the Big Eyes Coin NFT Sushi Crew, Big Eyes will spread further awareness of the environment through art, events and discussions. Likewise, when the Big Eyes Coin Merch store opens, more merchandise will likely be created to spread this sweet cat’s message.
Bitcoin must take a page out of big eyes and Algorand’s book
Following the COVID-19 pandemic and the simultaneous rise of crypto-prominence, environmental awareness became a greater concern for the wider population. According to a recent BCG survey, over 70% of participants said they were more aware of the environment after the pandemic. And 40% of respondents also said they intended to adopt more sustainable behavior in the future.
With the recent success of Big Eyes Coin’s presale, it can be assumed that crypto enthusiasts are more environmentally conscious than ever. What this could mean for the future is the decline of crypto giants like the Bitcoin Network and the rise of well-meaning, eco-friendly cats like Big Eyes Coin.
