This Week in Crypto: Hand in the Cookie Jar Edition

Here’s an interesting stat to start this crypto roundup off: “A study published in the journal Nature Climate in 2018 concluded that the growth of bitcoin could produce enough emissions by itself to raise global temperatures by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) as soon as 2033.” The publication is three years old, which means…
