About this seminar
The future of cryptocurrency isn’t just about finance – it’s about energy, regulation and environmental impact.
One of the biggest debates in the crypto space today is how Bitcoin mining affects the environment.
With US President Donald Trump advocating for domestic Bitcoin mining powered by fossil fuels, this session will explore:
- how Bitcoin mining is linked to energy consumption and climate change
- why Trump’s push for fossil fuel-powered mining could increase carbon emissions
- the risks of deregulation in the crypto industry and its impact on sustainable energy policies
About the speaker
Carol Alexander, University of Sussex, a renowned expert in financial markets and European Quant of the Year 2024, will discuss these pressing issues and what they mean for the future of sustainable finance, green energy and climate policy.
