Bitcoin Turns Trash Into Treasure (Literally) - Daniel Batten (Bitcoin Talk on THE Bitcoin Podcast)

"Some cases in life, one side is wrong and the other side is right. And I'm very clear on this. The arguments upon which it's based that Bitcoin is bad for the environment, it is fundamentally wrong."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Daniel Batten about using methane from landfills to mine Bitcoin.
