- Greenpeace’s artwork is widely accepted and adopted by the crypto community.
- The Skull of Satoshi has been deemed the most metal and coolest artwork of the BTC.
- Greenpeace reiterates its stand on Bitcoin production to crypto miners, developers, and the government with its latest artwork.
The recent battle with Bitcoin led to creating an excellent and widely accepted mascot commissioned by the environmental group Greenpeace and designed by Von Wong.
Greenpeace was launched in 2022 to convince all Bitcoin (BTC) miners, developers, and the government to convert the crypto coin’s consensus mechanism into PoS (Proof-of-Stake).
In depicting how negatively Bitcoin mining is affecting the environment, the climate activist group enlisted the help of Benjamin Von Wong, an art activist, to create the “Skull of Satoshi,” which has been widely accepted by Bitcoiners since Greenpeace introduced the art on its Twitter page.
In its campaign called “change the code, not the climate,” Greenpeace’s latest artwork has been the talk of the town as the crypto community has opted to have the Skull of Satoshi as Bitcoin’s mascot. Crypto influencers have lauded the creativity of Greenpeace, commending its artwork and naming it the most “metal” artwork of Bitcoin yet.
Sitting on the top of the skull are smokestacks made from recycled e-waste. They symbolize the coal pollution and fossil fuel caused by BTC mining and the number of electronic systems used in confirming network transactions.
The Skull of Satoshi stands at 11 feet (3.5 meters) and includes two red laser eyes with the Bitcoin logo.
“Some climate activists think Bitcoin is fake internet money they can safely ignore. The truth? Bitcoin is causing dangerous amounts of real-world pollution from its ravenous consumption of fossil fuels, all due to its outdated code,” Greenpeace tweeted.
Although the famous artwork was not perceived as the climate activist group would have expected, many Bitcoin supporters are clamoring for it to be used as a quasi-mascot of Bitcoin.
Will Foxley, a media strategy director at a crypto company, used the artwork as his Twitter profile picture and deemed it “badass.”
The co-founder of Coin Metrics, Nic Carter, also tweeted to his 355k followers, admitting that Greenpeace unknowingly created the best metal artwork.
“Greenpeace accidentally made the most metal Bitcoin artwork to date in their misguided anti-PoW campaign,” he said.
However, despite Greenpeace’s intentions to release the artwork, some have criticized the artwork as anti-nuclear energy.
The smokestacks on the top of the Skull of Satoshi were said to have looked like nuclear-cooling towers exuding steam.
“They’re demonizing nuclear energy now? Those are nuclear cooling towers that emit water vapors,” a BTC supporter questioned.
Conclusion
An environmental activist group has been canvassing for converting Bitcoin’s (BTC) consensus mechanism to PoS rather than the PoW model in which it currently operates. Unfortunately, its recent artwork has gained the attention of BTC supporters, who have chosen to adopt it as a crypto coin mascot.
