Yikes... digiconomist. Literally zero credibility there. His name is Alex de Vries and he works for the dutch central bank. To my knowledge, very little of his blog posts have made its way to peer review and academic publication. For some reason that doesn't stop his work from being distributed widely as an authoritative source on this topic.

This paper has it's own problems with conflicts of interest, but it has gained traction recently and is worth a read to see things from another perspective.

Could also look into the work of Troy Cross, Margot Paez, and Daniel Batten who are climate activists and pro-Bitcoin because of the incentives it provides around building out renewable energy and mitigating methane emissions.

And NY Times is notoriously anti-Bitcoin, to the point you have to ask, "do they have an agenda"?
