<span style="font-weight: 400;">Greenpeace’s “Skull of Satoshi” focal points their grievances with Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism but Bitcoin proponents are using it as a new mascot. Bitcoin by environmental group Greenpeace has resulted in a piece of art that intends to target Bitcoin's impact on the climate. The art piece has been widely praised by Bitcoin users who like to embrace it as mascot.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The recycled electronic waste “smoking stacks” on the top of the skull are presumed to serve as the "fossil fuel and coal pollution" brought about by <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/texas-lawmaker-introduces-controversial-bitcoin-mining-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin mining</a> and the "millions of computers" used to validate network transactions.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The media strategy director at crypto miner Compass Mining called the art piece “badass” and changed his Twitter profile picture to an image of the Skull of Satoshi. The Greenpeace campaign started a year ago with another climate group and Ripple co-founder Chris Larson. It aims to put pressure on bitcoin's main developer miners and it could remove bitcoin from proof-of-work if 30 major institutions agree to the change.</span>
