Bitcoin's Role in the ESG Imperative (a pdf report) by KPMG
TL;DR: KPMG, one of the big four accounting and professional services firms, appears to have been orange-pilled. They now praise Bitcoin's contributions in making a better future for the Earth.
Hey Bitcoiners,
You might not at first quite believe it, so you’ll of course want to verify this for yourself, but KPMG has published a twelve page report explaining many of the ways in which Bitcoin does good — for the environment, sustainable energy, helping underdeveloped geographic areas move forward, and more.
The old days of claims that Bitcoin will boil the oceans are fading fast. They are instead being replaced with rational, fact based explanations of some of the amazing things Bitcoin does beyond simply being the next form of money we will use.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
