 Happy ending.

Earlier today Environment America put up an article called "Bitcoin’s purposeless power problem" which was full of defunded claims about Bitcoin’s environmental impact. 

They have now removed their article from their site after I wrote to them pointing out numerous factual errors, with citations and data. https://image.nostr.build/dd91c0f1ff2558ef0f2e46f7a58f22db5f6a9dccc59d5ad7ce110af01d19ea13.png  
 Nice work!

 Great stuff. Have you found other publications to take such action so quickly? If this is anything to go by, it seems that most don't vet the contributions. 
 It’s an anomaly yes. Only one other author has engaged and withdrawn/ fundamentally changed their original article 
 Thank you! 
 Well done 👏👏 You authored a better narrative

 Thanks Daniel for your work :) 
 good on them for them for taking it down. doesn’t wipe our all of the shame of publishing nonsense but at least it probably means their intentions aren’t malicious. 
 Well done sir
