The finance ministers and central bank governors were in agreement that crypto tokens should be regarded as a speculative niche phenomenon and not as a currency. You, Mr Thiele, recently made reference to another aspect which should not be neglected: the environmental footprint of Bitcoins.
You showed that in view of the increasingly complicated computational tasks involved in mining new Bitcoins, a Bitcoin transaction consumes – and I quote – as much as 460,000 times more electricity than a standard credit transfer. I, in any case, do not consider crypto tokens to be a viable alternative to legal tender.
