Greenpeace USA, the American division of the environmental non-profit organization, tried once again to discredit bitcoin, but achieved the opposite effect.
Greenpeace, together with Canadian art activist Benjamin von Wong, presented the installation “Skull of Satoshi” – a skull almost 3.5 meters high with laser eyes and smoking pipes on its head. The piece of art was meant to represent all the bad things about bitcoin — its impact on pollution, miner greed, and obsolete technology that is long overdue for a greener algorithm.
The skull, made from waste donated to Unirecycle, is supposed to symbolize “the millions of computers used to verify bitcoin transactions, known as mining.”
The organization invited everyone to receive a free sticker with the image of “Satoshi’s Skull” and the inscription “Change the code, not the climate.”
However, the cryptans appreciated the skull and fell in love with it.
Compass Mining Director of Media Strategy Willie Fox found the skull is cool and now uses his image on his twitter profile.

But there were also real critics who once again explained that the eco-organization is a bunch of incompetent amateurs: “It seems that Greenpeace could not find a single Bitcoin ASIC board for its propaganda. These are all motherboards for regular computers, a few fans for processors, a couple of old PCI Ethernet cards, maybe a few ancient graphics adapters that existed long before bitcoin. That’s funny”.
It appears Greenpeace was unable to source a single Bitcoin ASIC PCB for their propaganda. It’s all general purpose computer motherboards, some CPU heatsinks, a couple old af PCI Ethernet NICs, maybe some old af pre-Bitcoin GPUs? Hilarious. pic.twitter.com/XGNzpXl5EL
